Anyone going to Albany College of Pharmacy?

<p>Honestly, the classes are not that difficult when compared to Canadian standards, however, i know a lot of people had a hard time with them simply because they didnt stay on top of things. </p>

<p>A lot of people have terrible time-management skills and they end up partying all the time instead of studying. Then they try to cram the night before the test and they end up getting terrible marks. </p>

<p>ACP is certainly very forgiving during the first year. They give their students lot of chances in their core courses. For example in Biology, the exam can completely replace all your makrs in the course if you perform better on the final exam than you did in your tests. </p>

<p>In chemistry, your worst test mark is replaced with your exam mark if its higher. </p>

<p>Out of a class of 250, only 207 remain after only one year. And most of the people that did drop out where the ones that were partying it up every night of the week. </p>

<p>As to your 2nd question, Nah, people wont give you bad notes or anything to jinx you simply because there's nothing to be competative about. Maintain your 2.0 GPA (73% or above) and you'll be come a pharmacist simple as that.</p>

<p>Hmm... How is the internet? and are the rooms spacious?</p>

<p>T1 internet connection. Wireless routers Everywhere. Free Cable. The size of the room varies. Some are huge and some are just average. I know of some rooms that students put queen sized beds in them with no problem.</p>

<p>Well would you have to kill yourself to get >3.0 GPA at ACP?</p>

<p>nah, not really..i have a 3.5 gpa there (u need 3.2 to get dean's list)
and i was going out every thursday, friday and saturday nights haha</p>

<p>u just gotta keep on top of things. Go to your classes (bio/chem every monday/wed/friday 8-10) and ask for help when you need it.</p>

<p>Oh wow!</p>

<p>and are there a lot of people that would rather not go out partying too?</p>

<p>bumping! :)</p>

<p>bumping again! :)</p>

<p>(10 char..)</p>

<p>(10 char..) again haha</p>

<p>can anyone who applied here post their GPA, SAT, and if they got in/waitlisted. Also if they applied ED. Thanks</p>
