i think it’s random and you should definitely try to apply earlier because you probably will hear earlier then most people.</p>
<p>If I dont get into Rutgers Pharm which is my dream school, but I want to study pharmacy, is it worth going to the Rutgers Arts and Sciences School and then transfering to a pharmacy school, or is it better just to go somewhere else?</p>
<p>that is what i did…</p>
<p>why if i didnt get into rutgers pharm and attended rutger sas for 2 years while majoring in bio to cover the prereqs? could i transfer to the pharmacy school for the last 4 years? are the chances the same as transfer students?</p>
<p>u really dont need to declare a major all u have to do is take all the pre-prof prereqs in order to apply the spring semester of ur sophomore year</p>
<p>However ur GPA has to be high since apparently from what i heard and my own personal exp its harder than other transfers since this yrs transfer which i am a part of only had three transfer students,2 yrs, from new brunswick. However, there were upperclassmen that did transfer in from new brunswick but u have to take the PCATs for a more competitive edge if u apply beyond ur 2nd year.</p>

<p>What were ur stats? and did u go to sas or sebs, before transferring to pharmacy?</p>
<p>i was in SAS i had like a 3.82 GPA when i applied last spring.</p>
<p>i mean ur high school stats, involving ur sat scores?</p>
<p>Well i dont remember my HS stats that much but i think they were 4.85 weighted 3rd or 4th in a class of 130ish. My SATs were around 1300 or something. Really didnt care until i got into college.</p>
<p>so with those numbers, why didn’t u get into rutgers pharm automatically?</p>
<p>I know this topic has been butchered alot, but i feel the need to ask it again… what are my chances at getting accepted into pharmacy?
Ethnicity: Asian, and bilingual
GPA: 96.4 (not sure how to translate to 4.0 scale)
all honors/ AP classes
SAT Score: 650/680/570 (a total of 1900), but taking one more on october 9
senior year for sciences i have honors physics and AP Chem
Class rank: 18 out of 500
a lot of EC including National Honor Society, a good amount of volunteering+ volunteering clubs, varsity tennis since sophmore year,
I’ve been employed in retail over the summer</p>
<p>what do you think my chances look like, is my SAT score too low?</p>
<p>My scores at that time were borderline having around 1300 does not guarantee u a spot from HS.</p>
<p>@dream</p>
<p>I’d say you have a decent shot of getting now; I’ve heard of people getting in with SAT scores under 1300. If you get your math/reading over 1400, I’d say you have a huge chance of getting in. </p>
<p>This is cause I had a mediocre GPA in high school (taking honors/AP courses) but I got a 1470 math/CR and I got in.
Yeah so, I believe admission to Pharm is based really heavily on SAT scores.</p>
<p>Rutgers doesnt accept recommendations from teachers right?</p>
<p>nope, they don’t. But it can’t hurt to send them anyway just in case. I’m going to just because.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.76/4 (NW) 4.67/5.3 (W)
Sat: 800/730/730
APs: 5 Chem, 5 Lang and Comp, 5 Human Geo, 5 European History
Class rank : not reported
EC: National honors societies (english, french, and merit), AP scholar, PSAT commendation, 4 years of theater, 8 years dance, volunteering here and there, assorted clubs.</p>
<p>Freshman year really screwed me up. Without it my non-weighted GPA is a 3.9 and Weighted is a 5.03
I’ve taken all H/AP courses since sophomore year and have gotten 1 B (AP Lit junior year), which was an 89.
This year I am taking AP Physics, Philosophy 2, AP English, AP French 5, AP US Hist, AP Calc BC, and Experimental (H).
Anyway, since none of you are even a little bit tired of doing this, chances for Pharm?
Also, should I bother submitting my research abstract for my experimental project (its biochem).</p>
<p>Stop asking chance me questions. We’ve answered like 50 of them already. You should be able to figure it out by now.</p>
<p>When does Rutgers Pharmacy start to give out decisions?</p>
<p>For Rutgers, the academic profile for the most recent class reported, is probably your best guide - see
[Rutgers</a> | Rutgers Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.rutgers.edu/Academics/AdmissionsProfile.aspx]Rutgers”>http://admission.rutgers.edu/Academics/AdmissionsProfile.aspx)</p>
<p>I would say your chances are good if you are close to or above the high end of the 25-75% range - beyond that , it is a numbers game re how the apps are running in a year. With Rutgers, it is pretty hard to say if they go much beyond the stats. See</p>

<p>If you have your heart set on the degree, I’d focus on one of the other schools, as they appear easier to get into.</p>
<p>can somebody help me with something for the application?</p>
<p>for the activity section, it asks you which grades you volunteered in? but then it says “beyond hs”?</p>
<p>is that asking if you’ll continue in high school or is it referring to transfer applicants?</p>
