<p>I know that chancing is useless because of the numerous possibilities, probabilities, etc. out there, but I'm bored and I have nothing to do right now, and I'm curious about the chances that I will be admitted to the PharmD program. Chance me? </p>

<p>GPA: Weighted=3.9/4.0, UW=3.7/4.0
ACT: 29 (E: 33, M: 25, C: 31, S: 27, W: unknown as of yet)
Rank: 5/276
City/Town: Providence, RI
High School: inner-city college prep school, rigorous, the only public school in the state that requires an entrance exam to get in.</p>

<p>Nationality: Asian (Filipino American)</p>

<p>gender: Female</p>

<p>Courses: Currently taking 3 AP classes, AP Chemistry, AP Literature, and AP Japanese, and one honors class. Last year I took AP US History (got a 4 on the AP exam) and AP Biology (got a 3) and an honors class, sophomore year I took 3 honors classes.</p>

<p>EC: student at an art studio for 4 years, I now hold 2 leadership positions: Studio advisory board member at this art program as well as co-editor of the annual art magazine for this program. I also co-designed and co-facilitated 3 shrine art workshops for children in summer camps during the summer. Peer chemistry tutor, Math team member, exhibit educator at the Providence Children's Museum. I also play the piano.</p>

<p>Essay: I talk about my relationship with my sister, how her deployment to Iraq is affecting me and how she is one of my main sources of motivation and inspiration.</p>

<p>Teacher Rec: I didn't see it, but I'd say it's pretty good. I got an A+ in his class (AP Bio) and I was also a pretty active participant. :)</p>

<p>You're as good as in. trust me. some day maybe you'll fill my medications :)</p>

<p>I didn't get accepted to the College of Pharmacy.....=(</p>

<p>Oh well, I guess the career wouldn't be right for me anyways =P</p>

4

<p>How do you know you didn't get in? How did you find out? Did you get in an alternate major? Was your Rhode Island website account updated? Still waiting to hear...Thanks...</p>

5

<p>the status should have been updated on ecampus...if it wasn't, it's most likely you didn't get in...sorry :-&lt;/p>

6

<p>I got in, but in a different major (Clinical lab science, most likely)</p>

7

<p>How do you know you got in a different major? Did it say so on the website?</p>

<p>wait until you get your letter - they have messed up a lot of people. My friend applied for chemistry and he got put in international relations..... a couple kids from my school got into Pharmacy and they were nowhere near your level. Wait for your letter and then call them</p>

<p>Yea, I got my letter, confirming the fact that I got accepted to my second major instead, AAANNNDD they only gave me an $8000 scholarship for all four years, EVEN THOUGH there are people in my school that had lower stats than me that got $1000s more in scholarships than I did. Honestly, I could care less. There are a lot of other colleges out there willing to give me more money to go to their school (Colleges that, IMO, are better than URI ;) ).</p>
