<p>Does anyone have information on Hampton University (Hampton, VA) and their 6-year combined pharmacy program?</p>
<p>I am looking for a scholarship there and here is all my info:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.86
SATs: 1940 (Math-640, Verbal-700, Writing-600)</p>
<p>I am the president of my multicultural club and have numerous other extracurriculars. If anyone can tell me how good my chances are at getting a scholarship to Hampton (or into their combined program) it would be greatly appreciated :).</p>
<p>I would say that you are definitely admitted with a 90% chance at receiving a significant amount of scholarship money</p>
<p>Ok that's what I thought, but my dad asked me to post on here to get more info. I actually have talked to their admissions officer and she told me that I qualify for their Presidential Scholarship, which takes care of everything but books basically.</p>
<p>Hampton is a pretty school located on a river. But it is my impression based on work that I did with them when I was in the Federal Government is that it is not well-managed and that its administration is not overly friendly to the students.</p>
<p>Tsdad, I've heard similar criticisms regarding the administration from Hampton students, although school pride at the university appears to nevertheless be very strong. Hampton does seem to attract preppy students [which is no measure of the school's academic strength]. My guess is that the 'non-customer friendly' atmosphere is somewhat rooted in Hampton's early tradition as a place for elites [relatively] and those aspiring to be elite. Remember, Booker T. Washington left the place to establish the much more agrarian Tuskegee University.</p>
<p>That being said, I would recommend to the poster that he/she investigate scholarship opportunities from corporate offices of retail phamarcies. Business Week reported that the big chains are trying to meet the growing demand for pharmacists with scholarships and well-paid summer internships.</p>
<p>LakeWashington and tsdad thanks for replying. Yea I've heard it's a very pretty place, but never had heard that about the administration. That's good to know.</p>
<p>Also LakeWashington, your idea is great, but I don't want to bind myself to a certain company. Especially retail pharmacy, I don't think the mundane routine of retail pharmacy is for me. It'd be great if they stuck me in the back and let me do the research and pharmacology aspect of it.</p>
<p>I too was accepted. Trying to decided between Howard and Hampton. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Howard doesn't exactly beat out Hampton as being student-centered. Again, when I was in the government we received lots and lots of complaints against Howard, which seemed to have difficulties in dealing with students with disabilities.</p>
<p>Also compare the campuses--one is urban in DC the other is a fairly isolated campus.</p>
<p>As was said, the big difference between Howard and Hampton is location. Choose your preference: urban gritty vs small city/semi-suburban. Also, I suspect Hampton has a bit more 'black southern culture' than Howard. Also, it doesn't snow in the Hampton Roads area most years.</p>
<p>I will be applying for Hampton University 2012-2013. I have a 1340 SAT score, does anybody have any advice how early i should apply for the school and how early i should apply for financial aid to get a scholarship. I really need a full ride scholarship to this school. I also i play drums so maybe some music scholarships as well.</p>
<p>What is the average Financial cial Aid package for students at Hampton University?</p>
<p>@ attab23…Are you at Hampton? If so, how is it? I got the presidential scholarship for Fall 2013…I’m considering it. Not 100% sure yet.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me about campus life?</p>
