<p>Another question:</p>
<p>I am taking the AP micro/macro economic exams as well as the physics one; I’d like to use these to place out of Second-year “Intro. to microeconomics” and “elements of physics”… is this allowed?</p>
<p>That’d be 7 credits total, too. Under 8!</p>
<p>Contact the department of the language that you want to continue – they’ll arrange the placement testing for you. </p>
<p>And yes, APing out of micro and physics should be okay.</p>
<p>1) I know this question has been asked probably a million times but when do those on the waiting list hear back?</p>
<p>2) I got accepted in Newark& New Brunswick’s College of Arts and Sciences for CHEMISTRY. I really really really want to pharmacy and I heard about the 2+4 pharmacy program TODAY (ehh kinda VERY late 
). </p>
<p>Did I have to be accepted into the 2+4 program or I can be part of it when I enroll (and say I want to be part of the pharmacy curriculum)?</p>
<p>OR Do they have to recommend me the program? (still confused)</p>
<p>You can’t do pharmacy unless you got accepted into it, but you can basically take all the same classes pharmacy students do and try to transfer in after your 2nd year</p>
<p>thanks for clearing things up for me, Reinfleche! :)</p>
<p>Would it be hard to transfer from the pharmacy program to the BA/MD program with Robert Wood Johnson? Do you know of anyone who has done this?</p>
<p>It is possible for you to just drop pharmacy after your first year if you have a strong enough resume. It is extremely difficult to get into the BA/MD program fyi.</p>
<p>On transferring into Pharmacy: i don’t know why you would bother; if you have the stats to get into Rutgers Pharmacy as a third year transfer, then you can do a lot better for yourself (medicine, dentistry, etc).</p>
<p>I have a question. How hard is it to maintain a great GPA (above a 3.8) while going to Rutgers Pharm? Can someone elaborate on this instead of saying it’s possible? For example, do you know a handful of people who do well? And which courses should I watch out for (the ones that are known to be notoriously hard).</p>
<p>I’m thinking going to Rutgers Pharm and then going to Med School right after. Is this possible if I go to Rutgers Pharmacy?</p>
<p>smarts1: A GPA like that is doable for freshman year…but courses do get harder after that. I’m not expecting to maintain a 3.8+. Chem 2 is commonly the hardest course for most freshmen (bio seems to have been stressing out my friends lately too), while orgo and systems physiology seem to be the biggest stressors for PP2 students. </p>
<p>And yes, you can go to medical school right after Rutgers Pharmacy if you want to. There have been pharmacy graduates who went on to do that.</p>
<p>^ I have a question about that too. Why are those two courses considered hard at Rutgers? I mean aren’t they pretty much the same things as the AP classes we took in high school?</p>
<p>For general chemistry, the professor’s exams are very tricky and if you don’t 100% know what you’re doing then you’re going to fall for the tricks and do poorly in the class. AP Chemistry certainly helps, but does not guarantee that you will do well. If you want to do medical school after pharmacy school, i suggest you just drop out after your second year and go the pre-med route if your GPA is good enough. </p>
<p>Getting a PharmD and then an MD is the most redundant thing in the world, be prepared to answer why you changed from a pharmD to an MD, and to work your @$$ off keeping up that GPA and studying for the MCATs all whilst keeping up with graduate level work.</p>
<p>PP1: Chemistry and/or Biology
PP2: Organic Chemistry, Systems Physiology
P1: Pathophysiology, Pharmaceutical Chem</p>
<p>So then what about General Biology freshman year? Does having an AP under your belt help? Is it worse than General Chem?</p>
<p>Is getting a good GPA really that hard after the second year?</p>
<p>AP’ed out of biology, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. Yes getting a 4.0 is hard period in the sciences.</p>
<p>what can i get out of if i have 5’s in both ap literature and ap language? i know i can’t get out of expository writing</p>
<p>You can use them as humanities credit…so instead of having to take six humanities electives, you can just take four.</p>
<p>Anyone know if it would be possible, or even allowed, to be enrolled both in the pharmD program and the 4 year part time (nights) law program at Rutgers Newark?</p>
<p>Yes, I know it would be a lot of work… Just wondering if it’s even an option should I want to do it.</p>
<p>Sorry, but I doubt it. Pharmacy students aren’t even allowed to minor.</p>
<p>Make sure you all join the Rutgers Pharmacy Class of 2016 group on Facebook, if you have one!</p>
<p>Hope to see many of you on the default May 1 placement test day!</p>
<p>If you guys don’t mind me asking, what are your GPAs thusfar? And after how many semesters?</p>
<p>Hi Luker…I just have a couple of questions I was wondering you could answer for me! =)</p>
<ol>
<li>What GPA do you have to maintain in order to stay in the program?</li>
<li>You don’t have to take the PCATs, but you have to do an interview right?..and do a good amount of kids get denied from their professional years because of the interview?</li>
<li>Why did you pick RU Pharm school out of the other pharm schools in the nation?</li>
<li>I was admitted to UConn, which has a 2-4 program. Right now, I am graduating as rank 18 out of 650 graduating seniors at my high school. I work hard, and I intend on continuing to do so. I’ve taken AP Calc BC, AP Bio, AP Macroeconomics, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, AP World History, and AP Chem. If I go to UConn, I do not have to repeat these courses; if I go to Rutgers, I have to. Is going to UConn so I don’t have to repeat classes/pay out of state tuition worth it, or do you think going into the direct program is much safer? I’ve heard from sooo many people that getting into grad school is gettng to be ridiculously difficult.</li>
<li>What AP class do you think is best for me to opt out of since RU only takes 8 transfer credits?</li>
<li>How hard is it to be a pharm student; can you still have a normal life, or is it just constant studying?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks sooo much, and sorry for the attack of questions =)</p>
<p>4) Going into a direct 0-6 program is a wiser choice IMO. However, if UConn is a lot cheaper compared to Rutgers, I would chose Uconn (you will need to keep up the good grades. However, it would be harder for you to get “transfer” admission into a pharmacy school which has 0-6 such as Rutgers).</p>
