<p>thanks for ur help!</p>
<p>i thought the pharmacy program was very competitve no?</p>
<p>well it's still Rutgers...so I'd say you're in.</p>
<p>anyone else??</p>
<p>any other opinions?</p>
<p>Fencing captain! That's awesome. I was sabre captain for my school (Somerville).</p>
<p>Anywho, you're in. Don't even bother with getting recommendations. Rutgers hardly ever reads them. For something like pharmacy, they only care about grades/rank/SAT I.</p>
<p>thanks a lot
i really appreciate it!</p>
<p>Don't worry. You will get in...did you get in already? Apply to LIU just in case. Good luck yaar.</p>
<p>thanks
i think im going to send in my app within the next two weeks</p>
<p>When are you planning to enroll?</p>
<p>fall of 08</p>
<p>you guys are severely underestimating the selectivity of the RU pharmacy program.</p>
<p>SubMachineNips, what do u think my chances are?</p>
<p>i think you'll be fine. your stats are about average... maybe a tad lower. but being in-state will make up for it</p>

<p>Everyone over hypes Rutgers University and their pharmacy program. In reality, pharmacy is pharmacy no matter where you go, and everyone will have the SAME job opportunities after graduation. I know friends who turned down Ernest Mario at Rutgers University to go to pharmacy at St. John's University. I turned down University of the Sciences in Philadelphia to go to SJU. The point is, it doesn't matter where you go for pharmacy, because in 6 years you will graduate with the same Pharm.D, and you'll have a job at CVS, Walgreens, Eckerds, or in industy, or at a company. </p>
<p>...just the view of a current 4th year Pharm student.</p>
<p>thank you pinkpillowzz! im being pressured about getting into Rutgers Pharm., but i know i have better chances at other schools
i assumed you'd be getting the same degree wherever you go... so yeahh
do you recommend going straight to 6 year programs or going to undergrad (let's say somewhere like cornell) and then going to 4 year pharmacy graduate schools...</p>
