Hey all!
I tried doing a search for this, but the search function wasn't working at the time, so please bear with me.
I'm just wondering how important grades are for getting pharmacy residencies. I keep hearing "C=PharmD" but if you want a residency you're going to need to keep the grades up. I mean, if someone gets 1-2 C's per semester in pharmacy school, would their chances be pretty slim? Or, let's say a pharmacy GPA between 3.0 and 3.5 (which would not exceptional but would not really be bad either)? Man, I thought Intro to Pharm Care would be my easy class, but I had a lot going on this week and barely passed my midterm! Now I have no chance for an A, and I'm going have to work my butt off for the final in order to get a B...even though I'll have 5-6 other finals that week to worry about. And I really wanted to be a clinical pharmacist...
