Re: grades in pharmacy school

It all depends on what you want to do after you graduate (assuming you pass of course). If you just want to practice in the community, then no, your employer will not care what you got on Med Chem as long as you get your license. If you want to do a hospital residency, then it kind of matters, because there usually is some competition. If you want to do a Pharm.D. (assuming your current program isn't direct entry), then again grades are taken into consideration. If you want to do graduate studies, then it matters a great deal.
But honestly, a GPA of 3.15 is not terrible. What do you want to do?

Hi there, I am a second year pharmacy student and thought I work hard, I find it very difficult. people keep telling me that grades don't matter and the only thing that matters is that you pass. well, if that were the case why have grades at all? don't they have to matter at least somewhat?
My cumulative GPA is about 3.15, would you consider that average or below average? I had a 3.8 coming into pharmacy school so it's difficult to see my GPA go down so much!
Cheers, Jillian Pharm D II
