<p>Bump, srry for double post =( internet went rogue lol</p>

3

<p>bump anyone plz?</p>

4

<p>I assume USP is University of the Sciences. Have you looked at Temple and Thomas Jefferson?</p>

5

<p>well i have looked at temple but i dont really think their program is as respected as most of the others i have listed</p>

6

<p>but what about my chances at the schools i listed, mainly RU pharm?</p>

7

<p>Idk how selective Rutgers pharm program is but with your stats you should have no problem getting in considering your in state applicant. </p>

<p>Thanks, i think usually ~5 ppl from my school get in to specifically the pharm program every year, so i think i should be okay</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to how many people per school can be admitted to the program??</p>

<p>I personally don’t know these universities to well but I can give some help. Your ECs look good, but I think you should indeed try to get that SAT towards the 2300. Practice your reading. You are a good writer and you said you screwed up Math with a score of 720 which is not that bad so I assume that you’re also good at mat, ergo if you practice reading and get like a 750 you could score a 2300 which would be a plus. A 680R will look bad on your application so AT LEAST a 700 should be your goal. If you also blow them away with your essay then I believe you’re set!</p>

<p>Thanks man, yeah im a good writer and good in math, but the critical reading has always been my weak point. I recently took the AP lang comp test, which is comprised of a section of multiple choice that is basically the crit reading section but a lot harder, and i got a 5 on the test so im pretty sure i can get my score up there by quite a bit.</p>

12

<p>forgot to mention i have taken 2 AP’s SO FAR (max my school schedule would allow) and i have gotten 5’s on both APUSH and AP Lang Comp</p>
