<p>Schools I will apply to (all pharm D programs):
University of Rhode Island, Northeastern University, Ohio Northern University, St. Louis University, Albany College of Pharmacy, St. John's, and USP.</p>

<p>I know an internatinoal student who received full scholarship to Rhode Island, but I am not so sure about other schools.
Would I stand a chance if I apply for financial aid, or should I just hope that they would grant me scholarships?</p>

<p>go to northeastern. it has the best program out of all of those schools. alums include william churchill, ashp pharmacist of the year 2008. you can't beat the coop program and with your scores you should get a good scholarship.
i am a student there in pharmacy and i love it. I have nothing bad to say about the program at all.</p>

<p>I'm sure you're a very good candidate for admissions but scholarship money is a different animal at some of these schools. I'm not familiar with all of them but I do know that ACP, being a small, very specialized school, has very limited financial aid even for US students. USP may also be in that category. I'd take an hour or two to call/write/research them before sending in those application fees! You might also post a message on the forums the pharm's hang out in:</p>

<p>Pharmacy is one of the few majors where I've heard students say they're NOT worried about their debt load at graduation. High starting salaries and signing bonuses go a long way toward reducing that stress!</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>redsox)yes true. I think I would love Northeastern. I lived near that area and it was quite nice. if they would only grant me a scholarship...
sk8rmom) kk yes, pharmacists make a reasonable amount of money to pay off their debt I guess. And oh, I heard that St. John's is pretty generous about scholarships. and many thanx!</p>
