<p>Anyone?
I don't mind if the comments are harsh.</p>

<p>You'll get into all of them, I'm pretty sure.</p>

<p>The only really competitive pharm programs are the ones at state universities.</p>

<p>thanks!
do these give colleges give a lot of scholarships $$?
since the tuition are so expensive!</p>

<p>I'm sure all will give you a few thousand...but that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the tuition at those schools. =( There are no real good scholarships unless you have super high SAT's.</p>

<p>Wow, you did choose three of the most expensive colleges there are! I might suggest that you apply to more than three, and apply to one or two that you could afford even without any financial aid. Here's a tution list:

<p>you need to show northeastern/MCPHS/St Johns what they gain by having you as a student. You have to standout a GPA of 3.5 is great but lots of kids applying to those schools have that!First off contact some students from ur school who have got into those schools.Find out what they did- what activities curricular and otherwise they participated in. Work hard to get a good SAT score. Then check out the profs who u want to study under- read up what they are doing- if it is business or history - see what kind of work they are doing- then see if you can get a summer opportunity with them Next see if there is a summer course in either univ for HS rising juniors and seniors-
You don't have to do extra curricular just for getting into univ; but you need to develop as a whole person .
It is time to start giving back to your community- do some community service- this will help the socio emotional development.
