<p>Any other 0-6 programs for all fields of health that I should look into?
Can you guys chance me on the PharmD Program at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences?
Also: Suggestions for other colleges and similar programs are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>I’m not familiar with the other schools on your list, but Rutgers and Drexel are high reaches. Have you taken any AP classes? Also, what do you mean by 0-6 programs?</p>
<p>Hi Spatula, thanks for replying.</p>
<p>Yes, I have taken AP music (Awaiting score) and will be taking AP Environmental Science (If it counts for anything senior year). I say 0-6 programs as in programs that you enter the school as an undergrad and leave the school in 6 years with say a PharmD.</p>
<p>Are these all too high of reaches for me? 0,o
Can I get more opinions please? Thanks.</p>
<p>Your gpa is too low for Binghamton, for sure, and for Rutgers Pharmacy (not sure if that’s what you’re asking about). MCPHS is a possibility, perhaps through waitlist, but unlikely you’ll get any merit aid from them. They are probably the easiest, of the handful of 0-6 programs, for admissions so I don’t have any other suggestions other than to look at the 2+4 schools that offer guaranteed acceptance to their pre-pharms. You can find a list of them on the AACP website. Is that an unweighted gpa and, if so, does your school report weighted on their transcripts?</p>
<p>Hi Soccarmom,
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I’m not applying to Rutgars Pharm, Just School of business and engineering. Business in Drexel as well. MCPHS is the only Pharm Prgram I’m applying to.</p>
<p>My son’s GPA is higher, but SAT’s lower and he was accepted early action into MCP’s PharmD program and Drexel’s Physician Asst. Program. Haven’t heard from Rutgers yet, but he really didn’t want that school anyway because it’s so large.</p>
