<p>what are my chances of getting into the PharmD Program at Rutgers? what other schools are a good math for my intended major/stats?
also..how much scholarship money do you think I can get?</p>

<p>I would say you are in for any programs you apply to at Ruthers, including Pharmacy - SAT's are not that strong, but grades are great. I do not know about scholarships. In prior years they required a minimum class rank of 15% and combined math/verbal SAT of 1350 to be eligible for a scholarship.</p>

<p>Thanks East<em>Coast</em>Mom. I know I really have to bring up my SAT scores-verbal is killing me. I'm hoping to get somewhere 2100-2200 at least in june. Right now my math/verbal is at 1340, so hopefully, if I can just bring it up a little more some scholarship money will come my way. Again, thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>whoa... if those stats dont get u into rutgers pharmacy.... im starting to lose hope....</p>

<p>You look like your in a very good position to not only get into any of Rutgers schools but also a fat scholarship. Keep it up, and don't forget to apply early acceptance in the fall.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. </p>

<p>Inkontrol, if you don't mind me asking, are you in the Pharm program?</p>

7

<p>I think you might be on the border. If you raise ur SATs to 2100, you should be fine.</p>

8

<p>No I"m going to be in the School of Arts and Sciences. The scholarships do not matter much what school you apply to, if you have the required SATs and be in top half of your class.</p>

<p>DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!!
I know people who got in with worse stats.
I think you're pretty much in. Just keep up the good work.
And enjoy your senior year.</p>
