<p>If you are throwing your hat into that ring, try the “early-assurance” schools as well. Butler and Drake guarantee a spot in the programs based on your grades in the required classes. I would look to University of Findlay and Ohio Northern as well. Findlay is the newest program, so it may be easier.</p>

<p>Have you shadowed a pharmacist? Do you have recs from pharmacists? That can make a real difference with marginal stats. The colleges will want to know why you want to be a pharmacist. If you can demonstrate your commitment, then that will help.</p>
