Rondaben Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I think your GPA is fine. PCE is ok, 2000 would be better but thats just one piece. Shadowing is fine. Personally I would take the GRE if I were you, apply to a few more schools just to broaden your opportunities. If your essay is on point and you interview well I think you have a pretty good shot.

corpsman89 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Probably will get an interview depending on PS. HCE/PCE is a little low. How many hours as a Pharmacy Tech? Some schools include this in their counts. Your interview will be the determining factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsman89 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I would say you're good. With the PCE coupled with decent quality HCE you should have no problems getting an interview. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRHRT Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Great! now another question, I'm sorry.... I have not and am not planning on taking the GRE. Do think that will be a problem? The 3 schools listed above do not require the GRE. Do you think I should expand the list to additional schools that don't require the GRE? Actually I'm a full time employee, I have a lot of financial responsibilities and cannot afford to reduce my hours at work at the moment. Hopefully, next year the responsibilities will reduce & enable me to go back to school. Thanks once again guys!!! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudentw Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Applying to three programs would be considered very narrow. Obviously applying to more programs can increase your odds at getting an interview, to a certain degree. Applying to 7-8 programs is a more standard number that people tend to apply to. Just make sure if you do decide to cast a wider net,that you are actually willing to move and live in that area. Taking the GRE would easily open up your options even more.

jlynneg Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I would say go for it! I also did not take the GRE, only applied to one school, and got accepted. Make sure your personal statement is memorable. That really is what is going to get schools more curious about you and make them want to interview you. Best of luck!
