Chances For Pharmacy? (low gpa, ok sat)

<p>Im korean
Live in NJ
SAT1, Math 700, Verbal 700
SAT 2, Bio M: 670 Math 1C:710</p>

<p>GPA : [ my school does it out of 7 weighted
5.5 / 7.0 - weighted
3.0/4.0 - unweighted</p>

<p>Reason for this is that my Frosh gpa was a 4.0/7.0
My soph and Junior GPA's were about 6.0/7.0 so vast improvement (too many drugs frosh year)</p>

<p>My class rank.... 146/542
My school is competitive, lots of people going to ivy leagues. </p>

<p>Im president of Three clubs and do alot of babysitting for autistic kids.
Also play an instrument</p>

<p>AP/Honor classes
English: 10th
Physics: 11th
Math: 9th
Bio: 10th and 11th - 4 on AP test
History - 10th, 11th, 12th - 3 on US AP test
German: 10th, 11th
French: 12th</p>

<p>My essay is kick ass too.
What are my chances?</p>

<p>the 3.0 unweighted might hurt a little as well as your low rank. ru pharmacy usually expects top 10%.</p>

<p>your rank is extremely out of range compared to those accepted for RU Pharmacy. they are highly selective, being one of the best pharmacy programs in the country, and your GPA and SAT will more than likely be inadequate for their requirements, as well as comparatively inadequate to the other applicants to the program. no offense, but the essay is optional and is not a key deciding factor in the admissions process for RU... but if you played the sympathy card (if you wrote about a death in your family, cancer, or something along the lines of that) it will probably help or catch their attention. your difficulty of course load is also inconsistent (you only took honors/ap math freshman year, you only took honors/ap english sophomore year, etc). </p>

<p>the pharmacy program looks for consistency in difficulty of courseload, gpa, and test scoring. based on acceptance history of my school, which is a top public HS in NJ, they only accept within the top 10%, if not the top 10 of the class.</p>

<p>don't take any of this personally, you wanted an honest opinion and that's all i'm giving you. i wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>I do not know.</p>

<p>Good luck though.</p>

<p>looks like gg for me : [
