pharm1601 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi! I will be completing my Bachelors in Biochemistry at Concordia University (3.65 GPA out of 4.3) next semester (with only A's in the past three semesters) but only having taken part time (3-4 classes per semester). I was wondering if there is any chance of getting into pharmacy either at Waterloo or Udem. I have been a laboratory technician for 4 years at my local pharmacy, and I don't know if this would help my application (it seems like Udem doesn't even ask for experience in the application?). I also have shadowed other pharmacists (2) in other pharmacies, let alone worked with 4 different pharmacists at my own work. I can also get a written recommendation from over 5 pharmacists. If I have a better chance of going into another program for 1 or two semesters full time and getting a better GPA, I'm also willing to do that. But then comes the question; which program do I go into to apply to pharmacy? Anybody here get in to either pharmacy schools only having a GPA? and what was your GPA when you got in?/got refused? I truly appreciate anybody's intake and wish anyone applying or trying to get those grades, good luck! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmD_IS_OP_IN_CANADA Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Definitely, expect an interview, from Waterloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharm1601 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks PharmD. I'm truly considering it. It obviously won't be as easy as staying in my home town (Montreal, 15 minutes from Udem), but if it's what I want, I have to try. Anybody else have any input?

PT2021 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I believe Waterloo requires full course load. They want to see if you can carry a full course load plus extra curricular due to the demands of Pharm D program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
