<p>Good Recommendation from former Rutgers Pharm Student and friend of the current pharmacy dean (I believe he is going to retire before i apply or has retired recently) and one or two more generic teacher/ councellor recommendations. </p>

<p>82 Volunteer Hours in a Hospital and have been working as a Pharmacy Tech in the Hospital for close to a year now.</p>

<p>I know "chances" topics are annoying but i dont see a pharmacy one up for the 2007/08 year so please bear with me. Thanks to all who reply. Good day.</p>

<p>u need more ECs.. recs look nice.. SAT score is low</p>

<p>OK shot imo</p>

<p>Rutgers is very strict on scores and GPA. They even say that they don't really take recs or anything like that because your grades and scores are what they use mainly in making a decision. You have great scores and GPA so I don't think you'll have any trouble getting in. However, if you need financial aid, then you might want to look at other schools because even the greatest students with excellent stats have a hard time getting aid from Rutgers.</p>

<p>do you live in Jersey?</p>

<p>Yes i live in Jersey and no i dont need financial aid. The only reason i posted rec is because the letter that i am getting is from a recent rutgers graduate who did lot of stuff for the school while she was there. She is pretty much known by everyone in admissions according to her. Supposing a letter from her wont hurt.</p>

<p>Your GPA and SAT is pretty good~
Rutgers Pharmacy is not a easy major to take and you have to know chemistry very well. My friend graduated last year and she said her first year was the worst year. You'll get used to it</p>
