<p>I've been considering pharmacy for a while now and rutgers pharm seems like a pretty good choice for me. </p>
<p>info/stats:
i'm a resident of nj
i'm white
all honors/aps since freshman year
got all A's, 2 B+'s and 1 A- freshman year (all in honors classes)
all A's sophomore year (all honors)
all A's junior year (including AP Chem, whcih i got a 5 on, and honors) and A- in AP English language (3 on exam)
senior year: anticipating mostly A's, maybe an A- or two. All AP's besides gym: AP Spanish, BC Calc, B Physics, Lab period, lunch, gym, AP Econ (both), AP English Lit</p>
<p>this is more math, chem, foreign language, and "other academic courses" than they require</p>

I'm taking them again in october to get my crappy reading score up</p>
<p>770 Math/600 Reading fml/700 writing</p>
<p>SAT II's:
780 Math II, 760 Chem, Spanish in November</p>
<p>I don't have an incredible amound of community service... maybe like ~200 hrs at after school program for elementary kids, camp for disabled kids during summer, tutoring in chem, math, etc., volunteering in school library during lunch</p>

<p>Awards:</p>
<p>-bausch and lomb award from u rochester for the outstanding science student in my school,
-rotary youth leadership award
-"mole award" for sophomore and junior year for having the highest average in chem honors and ap chem programs, respectively
- top 50,000 nms, but probably not farther than that</p>
<p>THEY DONT REQUIRE AN ESSAY OR RECS. SHOULD I INCLUDE THEM ANYWAY OR NOT BOTHER?</p>
<p>if i did, they'd be meh. i'd prly write my essay about how community service changed me, my research at waksman, or something like that. i had recs written for another program from a science and a math teacher and they kind of focused on my academics which wasnt great but i could ask one of them to put in something about my personality or character and also ask my spanish teacher who's also the advisor of the hispanic hs that i'm treasurer of. </p>
<p>that's all i can think of. any input would be appreciated. thanks in advance. </p>
<p>oh btw, i'll also prly try to apply to rutger arts and sciences and maybe engineering too just because you can check off 3 schools on the app.</p>
