<p>pharmacy decisions take longer to process and review, so it'll take longer. I had friends accepted into rutgers arts/science in 2 weeks, while i had to wait 3 months because I applied to pharmacy as well. PM me if you have any questions about pharm, i'll be a freshman next year.</p>

<p>I applied in mid october, and i found out in three days. </p>

<p>I think its random because many of my friends found out at very different times. </p>

<p>and for pharm they never even take a look at any ecs or recs, its only ur class rank/grades/sat scores that are the deciding factor.</p>

<p>so, what are my chances?</p>

<p>I also had to wait 3 months for a decision but my friend waited max a month for her ok. The difference between me and her is that her GPA is awesome..straight A's. Me-some A's some B's even though I took AP Chem and got a 5, it still took the longest probably out of my entire school.</p>

<p>I agree that pharm does not really look at your ec's and other stuff besides grades because my friend did not join a single club in her high school life. She did absolutely nothing (but she got A's).</p>

<p>Compared to me, I think you're in assuming you're in-state. My SATs were only a bit higher but your CR is way higher than mines as it is. However, there was a kid on here (forums) with similar stats that didn't get in. I really don't know why since his resume is better than mines. Apply EARLY though. Some applied September but I think that's way too early (a pharm classmate did and she waited a long time, I think because Sept apps get kinda lost). My shoo-in friend applied in early Oct.</p>

<p>Basically from what i've gathered from my friends stats and calling/harassing the people at rutgers a billion times lol ... if you have over a 1400 cr/math on your sats, are in the top 10 percent of your class, and have mostly A's and B's in pretty advanced classes, I say you have a damn good shot. </p>

<p>However, i do hear that its getting harder and harder to get in each year.</p>
