<p>Hello Everybody I am brand new to this entire forum so please no hate. I am going in the path of pharmacy 100% and i am in my senior year just wondering about my chances to 0-6 programs :</p>
<p>St.Johns , Rutgers, Northeastern, Albany, St. John Fisher, Philadelphia Pharmacy College</p>
<p>My firsy choice by far would be st johns since i live like 2 miles away from the school (btw i am applying priority/early action to every school)</p>
<p>Grades:
1930 SAT 520 Reading 700 Math 710 Writing (i know i screwed up on the reading)
GPA: 92.7 UW average so like 3.7 ish i guess
Top 8% of graduating class
Took AP Bio with a 91 in the class but a TERRIBLE (i know im dumb ) 2 on the AP (TRAGEDY)<br>
Taking AP calc AP Java and AP enviornmental science
Strong in all science classes 90+ but i suck at regents and my worst 2 happen to be PHYSICS and CHEMISTRY!!!! 46 on physics due to terrible teacher FRESHMAN year i know this is terrible and 67 on chem regents but a 90 in physics class and 95 in chem class. I know i screwed up here but hopefully this can be overlooked. </p>

<p>Please let me know my genuine chances (as harsh as they may be) to these schools and scholarships if possible. I sincerely thank you for your time to read this entire post and give a sincere answer </p>
<p>Also my sister went to st johns for toxicology and graduated successfully with a 4.0 GPA and is now in her searching years in Erie (finished pharmacy). She is my mentor and the essays will probably include this.</p>
<p>@falium I just found the charts for Ernesto Mario school of pharmacy and I see what you are talking about
I am also considering Buffalo, MCPHS, URI and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Thank you all for your input</p>
<p>if you want to go to path of pharmacy you should really take the chem sat. Rutgers and northeastern is a reach but st. johns i would say is a match be sure you want to do it for 6 years because credits from many of your classes will not be accepted by other schools when transering. </p>
<p>@ridge4123 Thanks for your input. I will be applying early action to every school and most deadlines are November 1st so I will not be taking the sat again or any sat 2s :(. </p>
<p>You need to provide more details on why you are a good match for pharmacy. The ECs don’t really show a passion for pharmacy, they are a mish-mosh. Do you have a clear and convincing story that can be conveyed in the application?</p>
<p>I didn’t really know that I wanted to be a pharmacist my whole life. As soon as i saw my sister persuing the path of pharmacy i asked what the occupation involved and immediately saw myself 10 years from now working in medicine. I chose to follow the path of my sister as she has been my mentor throughout my entire life. I wanted something in the medical field that had a balance and would see more involvement in patients in the next few years. I want to be apart of this and also gain a vast knowledge and understanding of the body and the effects that drugs have on the body. I have been in the hospital several times after breaking bones and injuries and it was never the surgeons or doctors that fascinated me. It was always the drugs. I was fascinated by how such a tiny littl
e pill can prevent so much pain and cure the human body. One day I had a dream I was a pharmacist and as soon as I woke up I realized what career I want to pursue in life; my dream. @sgopal2</p>
