Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm currently a high school sophomore and want to become a pharmacist some day. I like rutgers 6 year pharmD program and its especially convenient bc I live in NJ.</p>

<p>I am wondering what my chances are of getting in.</p>

4.42 gpa weighted

Honors biology
Enligsh I cp

<p>Senior year:

<p>I have a solid gpa but are classes and future schedule challenging enough to get into rutgers pharm program? I play hockey will get 4 varsity letters, and I am going to do a little a chem team probably.
Thanks for reading and please leave any input or knowledge</p>

<p>I believe your academic schedule is just fine.</p>

<p>If you have decent ECs you might want 2150+ on the SAT or 32+ on the ACT for best chance.</p>

<p>Thanks.
Do sat IIs mean anything? My current math teacher is pressuring the math sat II</p>

<p>The Rutgers website is very opaque; the 0-6 PharmD webpage doesn’t tell a thing about SAT IIs, but the “My Rutgers Status” glossary page has a status “Official SAT II Report Required”, stating that you need three SAT II scores, so take the English SAT II, Math 2 and one science SAT II (chemistry or biology is preferred as far as 0-6 PharmD applicants are concerned) to fall within the 0-6 PharmD requirements.</p>

<p>Then again, if you want a 0-6 PharmD, you might want to consider URI, USP, MCPHS, ACPHS, NEU and St. John’s, but I acknowledge that these might be more costly than Rutgers.</p>

<p>Most of the PharmDs on that page aren’t of the 0-6 variety; if you fail to get into the 0-6 will you consider attending Rutgers SAS and then try a PharmD?</p>

<p>I will hopefully turn to other 0-6 programs I will apply to</p>
