Default Alberta or Dalhousie Pharmacy - Do I have a chance?

Hello,

I'm going into my second year at Windsor, Ontario. I want to apply to pharmacy at Alberta and Dalhousie this year. I want to know if I have a chance at getting in:

For dalhousie:
Pre-req GPA: 3.55/4.3 or 3.3/4
cGPA:3.3/4

For Alberta:
cGPA: 3.3/4
Pre-req GPA: i havent completed all of my pre-reqs yet, what is a good GPa i should aim for?

As far as volunteering and experience goes, I work at a pharmacy and I have done a lot of pharmacy volunteering, volunteering at various events and for different organizations

What do you guys think? Honest opinions, suggestions and anything else is welcome

Thank you!

I'll be completely honest with you. For an OOP, the chances of getting in with a 3.3 GPA is extremely low. You should apply regardless because you never know, but don't have any expectations of getting in.

A poster here and another one on SDN (they were IP) were rejected with a 3.8 GPA. Your volunteering helps... Try your best in second year, and there's always a chance.

EDIT: I was talking about U of A, btw. I have no clue about Dalhousie. I'm also applying next year!
