I switched major twice (chemical engineering -> chem -> bio). I tried to pull my GPA back up during the last couple of semesters in hope to get my GPA up, but it was too little too late and I was only able to get it to what it is now. Basically, what can I do from here. I want to shape up. I want to get on a career path that would allow me to do something with myself and not end up on some dead end job. I seriously considered Pharmacy School, but few schools have a minimum requirement below 3.0. Even if they did, I would assume they want someone well above that value. I am considering taking a Pharmacy Tech program and volunteering at my local hospital's pharmacy for some insights into the field. Is my goal too unrealistic or is there a chance? Also, is there any way for me to re-take pre-pharm classes I've already taken to demonstrate my better understanding and determination even though I am a graduate? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
What ever happened man

LMAO, I remember my posts in this thread.

My advice would be a little different than it was back then...

GPA is meaningless unless you are planning on going to grad school. My diplomas don't have the GPA printed anywhere on it. The degree speaks for itself. You either graduated or you didn't.

This thread is so old to be meaningless, but you raise an interesting question on the value of GPA. Might be worth a specific thread on that.
