Chance Me For Pharmacy Program

<p>Panicking :( I've heard the pharmacy program is ridiculously competitive.</p>

<p>Korean male, attending Bronx High School of Science, a very competitive specialized high school in New York City.
GPA: roughly 3.3 UW; school doesn't weight.
Special Classes: only AP Calculus AB, AP/honors are seriously hard to get into :(
Courseload: 4 years of English, math, social studies, sciences, foreign languages. 1.5 years of technology, 1 year of art/music, 0.5 year of health.
SAT: 1970 (620V, 720M, 630W) and 1920 (610V, 670M, 640W) [not reporting this one]
SAT2: 780 Math 1C, 800 Math 2C, 590 World History (not reporting)
Extracurriculars: 4 years of golf team (seeded player for all four years and captain this year), 2 years of math team (freshman, senior), 4 years of chess club, go club, and Cyber club (computer club).</p>

<p>Essays seem pretty good; many people enjoyed reading it :)
Recommendations seem fine as well; the teachers I've asked so far seem to like me. Counselor recommendation is going to probably be "Highly Recommend."</p>

<p>Senior schedule is as follows:
AP Calculus AB
Study in Evil (English)
US Government
Nutritional Science
Senior Math Team
Japanese (I took Korean after Spanish regents but due to big issues in the administration many students grew sick of the Korean program and most went to Japanese)</p>

<p>Blegh, I really want to get into NEU.</p>

<p>Equinox, just a note on SAT's - you can't selectively report scores. All your scores will be sent.</p>

<p>Northeastern has a good pharmacy program, but so do other schools. Make sure that you apply to a few of them!</p>

<p>Really? That's terrible :(</p>

<p>@momstl4: I'm also applying to St. John's, Rutgers, and U. of Conn. for pharmacy and a couple of others. Is the Rutgers pharmacy program better than the St. John's one? I've heard mixed opinions between them so I'm a little confused.</p>

<p>I recently found out that my school is ranked 20th in top public schools in the country; does that help at all?</p>

<p>It won't help much. UConn is a very competitive school for pharmacy. Do you have a safety school? You should.</p>

<p>your stats look good to me. but it would be helpful if u get some pharmacy experience.
good luck!</p>
