<p>my friend is considering joining the TAP Pharmacy program but he is worried that the science courses will average below the 3.0 GPA requirement for pre-pharmacy courses. Anybody if is it possible to get a 3.0 in B.S biology degree with an active social life or does this degree and pharmacy program requires constant studying on the weekends.</p>
<p>BTW which is harder to get a 3.3 in: Biology or Marshall</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>FYI, the required cumulative GPA for TAP is 3.2.</p>
<p>I've only taken the first year of pre-pharm requirements, and it's definitely possible to have a social life. Can't say about next year though (ochem, molecular bio, etc)</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply For5aken</p>
<p>my friend told me that the overall GPA is 3.2 and that the pre-pharm courses have to be a 3.0 or something like that.</p>
<p>Do you mind telling me what you got for your grades in your first year or at least is it easy to get a B in your first year classes</p>
<p>I believe it's an overall of 3.2 and a 2.8 for math and science classes. Don't ask me why it's so low.</p>
<p>I took Bisc 121 and Chem 115a first semester (B+, A), and Bisc 221 and Chem 115b second semester (B,A). My grades aren't that great, but I wasn't as hardcore about studying as my classmates.</p>
