Got my scores in the mail today, talk about one end of the spectrum to the other!

Verbal: 73
Biology: 94
Reading: 40
Quant: 29 :laugh:
Chemistry: 95
Composite: 79

I know I can absolutely improve Quant and Reading, considering I studied them nil to nothing. The question is whether I can perform as good on Bio and Chem as I did again, and my desire to take this test once more is severely lacking...

My GPA is average at best (Anticipating a B.S. in Biochem from a respectful University though).

Retake?
Click to expand...

I'm in a similar situation as you. I did well on Bio and chemical but horrible on other sections. (39 on math) and it was partially due to me not studying as much as I did with sciences. I'm afraid if I retake in October l, I wont do so well in science and only able to increase the other scores by little. The test is in three weeks if I were to retake and I have exams and midterms every week for next three weeks (I'm taking 18 hours) so I don't know if its worth me stressing over to retake it again for a small chance that I will substantially succeed. But the schools in Texas require October test as latest so that means if I ilsont retake it I would have to wait until next cycle (I'll still apply this cycle though). I got a composite of 71, which is better than I thought but not good enough. Plus I don't have work experience in pharmacy only volunteering and shadowing so there's nothing "unique" about me (my GPA is 3.65). I'm Just contemplating if I should take the risk or take it in January and use that score to apply next cycle (if I do that I plan to get a job in pharmacy to learn and improve my application). What do you guys think?? Any advice from those who did well And advice overall for me?

Just keep in mind that some Texas schools (UT Austin for sure, maybe Texas Tech) only consider your most recent scores

Yeah I know, and thank goodness for that. That's why I am thinking like is it worth stressing like hell for next three weeks to retake PCAT and not even knowing if I will do better (way better). Currently, my application isn't very strong. I have 3.65 GPA, 3.5 science GPA, with only volunteering and shadowing experiences. I don't work at a pharmacy nor do I personally know a pharmacist who could "mentor" me. With the PCAT score I got, I don't know if I can improve it so well that it will stand out in my application. Perhaps waiting for next cycle and gaining more pharmacy experience and work will help me improve my application as well, not just to improve PCAT. What do you think?

I beg to differ. Even if your PCAT score isn't top-notch, it's adequate and consoled enough by your excellent GPA. You've proven that thus far you can handle the curriculum en route to a PharmD program.

Your volunteer/shadowing experience has allowed you to get your feet wet in the profession, and perhaps instead of retakign the PCAT you should seek more experience to prove to ad-coms you've sufficiently tested your desire to become a pharmacist.

So, unless the schools you're applying to have a cutoff on subsection/composite scores, I wouldn't retake it unless you have the mind-set for it.

I'm not sure if anyone answered my question before.
But since today is the cancellation deadline, i would like a bit of help please.

So I got a 92 composite, but my scores for each section is pretty low. My quantitative basically boosted my score a lot. Its my first taking it.

My question is that will schools pay more attention to my composite score or the scores for each individual sections.

Thanks!

Well a LOR form a pharmacist/pharmacy experience is a gold standard for UT Austin and a requirement for Uni. of Houston. I personally have no paid work experience, but I volunteered as a pharmacy technician at a small clinic for over 100 hours. I also volunteered in the a hospital pharmacy and another clinic. Are you a certified pharmacy technician? If so, I recommended contacting local clinics with pharmacies and asking to volunteer (thats what i did). It was very had to get to know the pharmacists at the hospital i volunteered at, so a clinic might be better. Even if you decide not to apply this application cycle, you should start getting pharmacy experience asap.

Also, find something you like to do (meals on wheels, habitat humanity ect..) and stick with it. UT Austin really likes seeing that.

I'm kind of freaking out, why the heck is my reading so low??!!! in the past two times i've taken it i've gotten 50 and 40 percentiles......and my scaled score is basically the same...FML

Can anyone tell me if they look at individual parts of the PCAT as well as past tests taken??

Thanks:confused:

I don't know how many times I have personally wrote that according to last year's timeline, they received theirs on a Wednesday approaching their 5th week.
It has also been stated multiple times that it could take the full 6 weeks, which is the time Pearson gives.

Yes. Stop freaking out people. A 70 or higher can get you into a "prestigious, ranked" school. A 50 or higher can get you into other schools. Some even take scores in the 30s. The PCAT doesn't correlate with success in pharmacy school anyways, so grades and interviews basically get you admitted.

Is there any possibility of Pearson's making a mistake in grading RC section? I got 52 on it, however when I took the test, I felt like that was the only section I was good at. I see so many good scores posted here with high 80s and 90s in almost all the sections but RC being the lowest score!

Thanks that makes me calm down a bit. Only one of the schools in Texas specifically states 50 or above is accepted (in subsections and overall), last time I checked. I am going to apply this year.

Thanks. Where and how do you think I can find these clinics? Last time I tried to find them and it was not very encouraging because I called a few of them around my area and they didn't accept volunteers or shadows. How do you think I should go about finding a clinic?

You did not "fail." Your chemistry, biology, and writing scores are very good. A 71 composite is not bad, and if you choose to take it again you now know what sections you need to focus on.

I am a biology major with a 3.63 gpa and a 3.7 science gpa and I am getting my BS in the spring

Biology- 71 (couldn't believe my eyes was positive it would be above 90)
Quantitative- 74
Read Comp- 52
Chem- 91
Verbal- 68
Composite- 77

Not to sound like a douche but I only studied for 2 weeks right before i took the test and even then i wasn't really going all out. Do you think I should retake? Is my score good enough to get me into Lecom-Erie, SUNY Buffalo, VCU, MCPHS-Worcester, or Thomas Jefferson?

Dude, that's basically what I got (comp 71). I don't think I'm retaking in October. I am gonna apply with my stats now and see how it goes. I plan to retake though in January or June next year. As well as gaining more experience!

As people have said in this thread, 71 is not bad. I took the liberty to research this and some of the schools I am applying to average accepted PCAT (for those who enrolled) is like around 70 area. Ideally, of course they want good scores in the subsections too...but I would still not worry TOO much.

I also see that some people get accepted with 50 or less. So yeah.

I submitted 4 applications for volunteering throughout the San Antonio area hospitals. I suggest looking into hospital settings, as San Antonio has a good Medical Center area. I volunteer at St. Luke's Baptist, their pharmacy is not big and the hospital is smaller than other hospitals, but I like it. You learn a lot there. I suggest looking into those! (St Lukes, by the way, has a lot of volunteers, I don't think it's hard to get into it)

Just call or email clinics. It doesn't hurt to try.

Edit: I initially thought you didn't have any pharmacy experience but I guess I read someone else's post. Anyways, you will have a lot of unique experiences volunteering at a indigent clinic. It gave me a lot to write about in my essays.

Thank you. But will it be too late for me? I have this semester and I am graduating in December. I am taking 18 hours as well as volunteering at the pharmacy hospital 6 hours a week. And shadowing at Walgreens for 3-6 hours a week. I don't know if I can fit any more in. And if I go back in January at Dallas, by that time it's not like I can use it in my essays for this cycle. But I guess it's good for my overall experience and if I were to improve my application for next cycle right? I am still applying this cycle though.

Wow you're good at essays though. I literlly wrote 2 essays a day for a week, got it down to a science, and only got 3/3.

Also mandydp6 PharmCAS says it got my scores today (24th) so yours be in/come in soon as well, so we can both rest easy essentially.

Oh man at least now I can't get kicked out due to an incomplete application. Just had 3 hard exams in the last 2 days, I need a bit of peace of mind heh.

Best of luck to you all.

I got an 80 composite. Everything's in the high 80s and 70s except Chem., which was 43. Went into that test with only a gen chem background, and I just started taking Orgo this semester. Thanks!

I'm applying to UF, Maryland, UNC.. others

Second time taking it. Verbal- Dr. Collins, Reading- didn't knew how to prepare in that section , Bio & Chem - I basically reviewed by weak areas using cliff notes but what has helped me ace these sections was that I studied really well for them when I took those courses in College. Quant- Crammed for a day so that's the lowest subsection.

Thanks! My situation's a little different though, because I had to contact Pearson to change my address shortly after I took the test. The lady that I spoke to told me that my scores would still be mailed to the old address, and they would only mail it to the new one should the envelope be returned to them. I'm not sure why they couldn't just send it to the new address to begin with since I updated them like 3 days after I took the test, so I might have to pay the $20 if it ends up getting lost or something. But I guess I'm still hoping that they just send it to the new address anyway.
Chances are small, but is anyone in the same situation?

The post office can solve your problem. Go to your local post office and fill the address change form. When you mail arrives, they will redirect it to your new address.
Hope that helps.

Yup!! Mine was updated this morning :). Now we just have to wait for PharmCAS to send to the schools. Although I know that PharmCAS does their mailings every Monday, I've also been told there's a cut off time during the week to where if you're stuff is in after Wednesday, it will be two Mondays from then. I hope we don't have to wait two Mondays!!
