Been researching, what are my ACTUAL chances of getting into a PharmD program for me? Honest opinions please.
While several have asked this question I wanted to ask to verify what research I have found to so I have a more grounded understanding of my chances for acceptance.
So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Where I am AT:
Finishing my Bachelors and taking some of the pre-reqs before i graduate. Should graduate with at least a cumulative 3.5 and school gpa of 3.8.
Also, studying for my pharmacy tech license in the meantime while I do an internships. Then work part time till I get into the Pharm program.
What I plan to DO:
Finish my pre reqs, all BIO, CHEM, A&P, OrgCHEM, Micro and Calc. Then when applying and getting stuff together start taking BioChem.
I plan to ask one or two pharmacists where I would be working for recommendation letters, and my BioChem professor.
So what are my chances?
How does this compare?
Any other things I could do to stand out more?
Thanks!
EDIT:
To the ones who pmd me and those who gave real advice thanks! Suggestions like research projects and pre-pharmacy networking events have been really helpful as I hadn't hear of those things before and I wanted to increase my chances of obtaining an interview.
