Apply to pharmacy school now or wait until Dec for more prereqs?

Hi everyone! 

I’m applying to PharmD programs this cycle and am trying to decide whether I should apply now (late August/September) or wait until around December when I’ll have more prerequisites completed.

I graduated with a B.A. so I have been completing my pharmacy prerequisites at ucsd ext, cc. My current cumulative GPA is around 3.07 and my science GPA is around 3.1, with a significant upward trend from my earlier undergraduate years.

So far, I’ve taken General Biology I & II, General Chemistry I, Biochemistry, Human Physiology, and Calculus. I’m currently finishing the General Chemistry sequence through SCUHS and will also complete the Organic Chemistry sequence through SCUHS (will be done in December).

My main concern is timing. If I apply now, several chemistry courses will still be listed as in progress/planned. If I wait until around December, I should have the entire organic chemistry sequence completed and more recent science grades for schools to evaluate and hopefully more of an upward trend. However, I know several of the programs I’m considering have rolling admissions, so I’m worried about giving up the advantage of applying early. I am planning on applying to most California schools.

I also have community/outpatient and hospital pharmacy shadowing experience, caregiving experience involving medication management, community service/volunteer work and 3 strong pharmacist and 1 science professor LORs

Given my GPA and upward trend, would you apply now with prerequisites in progress, or wait until December to have more science coursework completed?
