<p>You're resume probably looks a lot better than mine, and I'll be starting the 6 year DPT program in September. I'd say you have a great shot at getting in.</p>

<p>Apply early.</p>

<p>would I be competitive for the Pharmacy program?</p>

<p>I'd say you're a shoe-in for either program if you maintain those grades through your senior year, but who knows. College admissions are volatile haha</p>

<p>any chances for a scholarship? Northeastern is expensive!</p>

<p>You've got a great shot at getting a scholarship. I received a $10,000 dollar merit scholarship and $7,500 grant from Northeastern, on top of some other federal grants.</p>

<p>If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats. And also, how does Northeastern determine the top 25% of its applicants for scholarships? Is it strictly by standardized test scores and GPA? Do they superscore the ACT?</p>
