<p>cmon guys, ill chance BACK ;)</p>

<p>Well UCSF is a graduate school. But I think you would be a competitive applicant for all of these schools.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure USC and USF doesn’t have a 0+6 program for pharmacy. for 0+6, i know Rutgers does have a 6 year program and if you want to live near home, you should definitely consider it. i think the highest ranked pharmacy school that does offer a 6 year program is University of Texas-Austin (didn’t apply)(rank#4) and theres University of Pittsburgh too (rank#14). I got into the UPitts program but i didn’t what to go there because there’s no guarantee you’ll stay in the program (need to take pcat and interview after 2 years(i think)) I, however, got into Northeastern University’s (rank#39 for pharmacy) 6 year pharmacy program and I plan to attend this school starting this fall. I chose it because it doesn’t require the pcat, its in BOSTON, and because they have CO-OPs (where you take a break from classes to work at a pharmacy-related workplace for at least three semesters). Plus, Northeastern University’s overall rankings has been going up really fast (rank #8 in UpandComing Universities USNews)</p>

<p>Nice man, good to know, but how are my chances at Rutgers or like UT Austin?</p>

9

<p>To piggy back on some responses, University of the Sciences has a really good 0-6 program. It’s also one of my dream schools. Your SAT score looks really good. If you don’t mind answering, how did you study for it?</p>

10

<p>Well i had a tutor over the summer mainly for writing and he drilled all the grammar rules into my head and that got me the 800, the other two is just doing practice tests really and from what i could pick up from math and lang comp in school</p>

<p>bumpity bump =)</p>

13

<p>any of u guys got a chance thread i could chance?</p>

14

<p>You have a good chance at Rutgers if you get 2250 like you said. People from my school get in with worse stats</p>

15

<p>yeah same, and 2250 is top 25% for applicants and 2200 is easily atleast top 35% cuz its a diff of like 2 questions</p>

16

<p>plus my school sends like 4-5 kids to the pharm program every year</p>

17

<p>would someone please be able to chance me specifically for RU pharmacy, looking at this list more closely, RU is cheap for me and its pretty good.</p>
