Help?!

College Search & Selection

<p>Alrighty, well my first post didn't go so well, I guess. It seems like it's harder to get responses when you're not striving for the ivies or the like.</p>

<p>I want to go into pharmacy. I am applying(so far, although I don't see any reason I'll apply to others) at UW-Madison, UM-Twin Cities, St.Louis College of Pharmacy, Purdue, and St.John's.</p>

<p>I think I have a good shot at getting into most of them. I am ranked 8 out of my senior class of 502, have a 32 ACT, and have decent, but not spectacular, extra-curriculars and community service. </p>

<p>My question isn't so much whether i'm applying to the right colleges, or whether i'll get in, although I'll take any advice on that as well, but more like what I should base my decision on when it comes to choosing one. I really can't pick one, I just go back and forth on why I should go to a particular one.</p>

<p>So, I guess I'm looking for some guidance/help in how to choose the college? I've visited four of them(all except St.John's), and they all seem completely adequate, and it hasn't helped at all. :/</p>

<p>I wish I could help you but unfortuantely I'm not really familiar with these schools. However, it really seems you can shoot higher...</p>

<p>did you prefer the feeling of being in a big city like st. louis and minneapolis, or smaller city like west lafayette and madison? just something to maybe help you narrow down.</p>

<p>UW-Madison, since you are in-state, would be the best choice, IMO.</p>

<p>You may end up changing your mind about pharmacy school, and UW-Madison will give you plenty of options if you do.</p>

<p>Purdue and UM-Twin Cities are also good choices.</p>

<p>You can also apply to a pharmacy school later when you have completed undergrad and decide what you want to do.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
