I am a current PGY-1 resident planning on applying for PGY-2. I noticed most programs require pharmacy school GPA and transcripts.
I did not receive many interview invitations while applying to PGY-1, which I attribute to my not-so-great GPA (~3.5). I knew that my GPA was not good, so I applied to mostly small community hospitals and only a few big, competitive ones. Still, I got turned down by 70% of the places I applied to. Thus, seeing that PGY-2 programs want GPAs again is really concerning to me.
How much does pharmacy school GPA/transcript matter for PGY-2? Are the programs using this as a fast way to eliminate candidates?
