<p>Sorry for being unsure of a lot of things. Thanks, in advance, for the feedback though!</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, it’s out of 2400 :x
I’ll be taking the real SAT for the first time this upcoming weekend, so hopefully my score goes up!
Thanks for feedback!</p>
<p>Work at that SAT or you have little chance at Rutgers, Northeastern, or St. Johns. If you get get it into the 1900s range, you have a better chance. Pick up some more extracurriculars if you can, and do some more volunteer work. The others shouldn’t be a problem for you.</p>
<p>The funny thing about stats for pharmacy school is that once you are in your memorization ability determines your level of success. Pharmacy school is just rote memorization; if you are a human hard drive, you will do fine.</p>
<p>But shoot for 2100+ on your SAT. I know someone who works in admissions at Rutgers. Acceptance is solely based on SAT and GPA/class rank. With that many applications, no one is going to sit down and really evaluation your application.</p>
<p>MizzMizzDiva: thanks! I’ll definitely try to get a higher SAT score and I do plan on volunteering a lot more
Polo08816: As of now, I think Rutgers is my hardest school to get into… Do you think it’s possible I can get into any of the other ones with my stats?</p>
<p>It was mostly a rhetorical question though - you don’t have to tell me why you would choose that path. It’s something you need to ask yourself before you get neck deep into it. </p>
<p>Just remember, private schools are pricey as heck. Consider working in a pharmacy as a pharmacy technician for about 6 months. It’ll give you some good insight. While the pay may only be about $7-8/hour, you’ll have the leg up on getting an “internship” if you ever do go to pharmacy school and are in your professional years. I believe the pay should be around $13-16 depending on experience while you are in your professional years.</p>
<p>I got into all the pharmacy programs that I applied to, and I saw that GPA and SATs are the most important things that they look at. Your GPA looks pretty good (and your course load is pretty heavy, which is good), but your SAT definitely looks like it needs a lot more work. Most of the schools have a median range of 1850-2100 for their pharmacy students, so try to bring it up to at least a 1900, and that’s still a little bit on the low side.</p>
<p>Polo08816: Ahh, sorry about that then! Working as a pharmacy technician would still require some sort of degree, no? I’d really like to get into a PharmD program so I don’t have to worry too much about transferring schools and all that.</p>
<p>illusiondestiny: I took the real SAT recently and I’m supposed to get the scores back on Feb 10. I’m hoping it’s high, but I really took it as a practice. Do you mind telling me your stats for getting into all the programs you applied to? Thanks!!</p>
