<p>Im really just looking for a nice school with good professors etc. I'm also alittle shy so a friendly environment would help :D. Also which schools give the most in merits or scholarships that I could apply to? If you have any information about Pharmacy schools that would he helpful :D</p>
<p>As you can see on the other thread, the few remaining 0-6 schools are in the east and tend to be competitive or pricey (or both)…there are so few that it wouldn’t take long to check their scholarship offerings for yourself. What is your budget for college? West coast schools tend to prefer students with bachelor’s degrees but I believe there are some 2+4 programs available. If you look on AACP.org (students section), you should find a list of 2+4 schools with descriptions and links. I would recommend starting there and not focusing exclusively on the 0-6 programs.</p>
<p>Erm Quick question, I haven’t considered 2+4 because I was only alittle bit confused about that Sk8rmom, if you could correct me if im wrong, but with a 2+4 I heard that there is a chance that I wouldn’t be able to get into the Grad Pharm.D and I would still need to apply? I’ve also read that if I complete the two year Undergrad I would automatically get a seat in the Graduate course? If so is the only difference between 0-6 and 2+4 that in the 2+4 im admitted as a transfer?</p>
<p>There’s a chance you wouldn’t keep your seat in the 0-6’s too as I believe they all have gpa requirements. The 2+4 schools often have guaranteed entry options and many give preference to their own prepharm students. They will have their entry criteria clearly posted and it’s probably on the AACP site as well…it’s usually stated as a minimum score on the PCAT and a minimum GPA, but you wouldn’t be considered a transfer if you stayed at the same school.</p>
<p>I understand 0-6 I need to maintain a minimum GPA req, but with a 0-6 I am guaranteed a spot if I can maintain the GPA, while as in a 2+4 I would still need apply and have a chance of not getting in, even if I maintain the spot right? Also, would you think I would be able to get into these schools with my GPA/SAT Scores?</p>
<p>Edit: And also thanks for replying, I appreciate it!</p>
<p>I think your SAT scores might be a bit low for the 0-6’s but check the PharmD program pages on their sites as they often list the average acceptance rates (which vary greatly from the rest of the school’s admissions standards). I know that URI, St John’s, and Rutgers are pretty tough to get into for pharmacy. As long as the 2+4 school offers guaranteed entrance and you meet the entrance qualifications, there really is not a big difference. There are many 2+4 schools that keep all of their students as long as they have the minimum GPA…Albany, Wilkes, and Butler take relatively few transfers for the professional phase and almost none unless they have space due to attrition (some people just change their minds and don’t continue). Those are only the school that I know and remember well though I’m sure there are many others. The ones that are uber-competitive and take more pre-pharms than they actually have seats for in the professional program are the ones you may want to avoid. They’re usually the big, public programs like Michigan, Purdue, Buffalo, etc. They often have high gpa requirements (3.5 is tougher than it sounds as the prereq’s include several “weeder” classes) and higher PCAT score requirements.</p>
