Looking to get into an accelerated pharmacy program/nursing program and I’d like to know what to brace for when apps come.
GPA: 3.77 (for reference, my 9th grade was a 3.73 and my 10th-11th is 3.84, don’t know if this matters)
4.1 (weighted)
Class Rank: School does not rank. If I had to guess, maybe top 20%??? I’m kinda in the dark about this)
SAT:
(CR): 670
(M): 800
(W):730
SAT2:
Chem: 760
Math: (plan to take)
Physics: (plan to take)
Literature:(plan to take)
Will take ACT and am aiming for a 34+ on it(not guaranteed though :/)
AP:
Human Geography (5)
Chemistry (this year)
Language (this year)
Calc AB (this year)
Physics C(next year)
Calc BC (next year)
Statistics (next year)
School offers 14 AP- 3 of which are language classes.
IB:
not offered
Pretty confident that I can get a 4/5 in all of these tests…
My essay will most likely be very strong since I plan to spend an ungodly amount of time on it and have teachers and counselors check it.
Teacher Recommendations: 2 (maybe 3, but for now 2)
1 from Chemistry Teacher (average, nothing too revolutionary or insane, but he can write more things about my ability than my person)
1 from Counselor(average, nothing too revolutionary, but he can write things about my personality)
Extracurriculars:
Head Programmer of Robotics Club
Digital Media Club
Licensed Microsoft Developer(sounds misleading, but I attended a program that ended with an evangelist giving me a certificate of recognition. this may seem shady, so I’m not too sure what to think of this though)
Intern at Southern California Marine Institute (conduct research with algae)
Conducted research with a retired USC professor regarding health of blue-green algae in an environment
Ran XC for 2 years
Director for organization(i’d like to keep anonymous for personal reasons) that helps distribute medicine to orphanages in Mexico.
(am looking to intern at a pharmacy this summer, but I’d leave it out since my chances are pretty slim)
Volunteer:
Volunteered at history museum(resume padding I know, but it was damn fun to chill out there and talk with kids; 10/10 would recommend)
Help local elementary schools learn about STEM and robotics
Go to Mexico every few months to aid orphanages(related to above organization)
Looking for University of Pacific, Chapman, Rutger’s, and Ball State’s accelerated pharmacy program.
For normal 4 year universities, my dream school is UCSD, but I’m more likely going for UC Irvine, UCSB, and Cal Poly Pomona.
Male, Asian(of course), ~$100000 income
request chance back; i might be a little late on it though
