<p>UConn's PharmD prog. is supposed to be AMAZING. One of if not their best program. The recruitment/job opps. there are awesome, The brand new facilities are top notch.</p>

3

<p>yah i agree that UConn has an amazing PharmD prog.</p>

4

<p>Is it really competitive compared to the other schools because of its err, amazingness?</p>

5

<p>With your stats, you'll be fine.</p>

6

<p>Thanks, jPoD.</p>

<p>Any major merit aid I can get from these schools? I mean, money is a very big factor in our decisions and I can't really attend a school that can't offer at last 1/2 of the tuition. :(</p>

8

<p>Northeastern has an outstanding program.</p>

9

<p>What about the other ones?</p>

<p>I don't know really, but I heard that MCPHS doesn't have a very good one considering their scores, or something like that.</p>

10

<p>Rutgers, has one of the best if not the best ranked programs from what i've read/heard. If I'm not mistaken, that is.
One of my friends is going there this year.</p>

11

<p>My friend goes to MCPHS and he LOVES it.</p>

12

<p>What about the other schools?</p>

<p>University of the Pacific (Stockton,CA) -- No Doubt In Not the best
Northeastern U -- Great School, Expernsive, Your In
Rutgers U -- Most Selective but still very good/cheap
Mass. College of Pharm and Health Sciences -- In, not the best school
Univ of the Sciences in Philadelphia -- ditto
Univ of Rhode Island -- 110% In, Will Prob Give You Most $
Univ of Connecticut -- Not a 6 year Pharm D.
Duquesne U -- Your in
Hampton U -- An all black college if that impacts your decision</p>

<p>Thanks for the input, 13asketballboy. I appreciate the info you've given (and the vote of confidence, hehe).</p>

15

<p>I've talked to a rep from UCONN at a college fair and he said that they don't have the 0-6 PharmD program</p>

<p>They're like LIU, you can do all 6 years there, but after 2 year you have to apply and then see if you make it into the professional phase</p>

<p>there's also: Albany College of Pharmacy, that's also a 0-6 PharmD program, that one, if you get accepted as a freshman you're guaranteeed into the professional</p>

16

<p>Oh and I think that with your stats you'll be in almost everywhere :)</p>

<p>and as for merit scholarships I think you'll be pretty good with everyone haha, you <em>Are</em> the valedictorian (sp?) </p>

<p>BTW: I know that the max merit scholarship money Rutgers gives an out of state resident is 5k</p>

<p>for MCPHS, you can get the max amount, 15k </p>

<p>if you want any other info about the schools, like tuition costs, the scholarships you can get, etc, just let me know (message me or you can post bacik on here) and I'll give you all the info I have :) I'm interested in pharmacy as well :D</p>

<p>Oh and you should Definatly apply to ACP :)</p>

17

<p>does Rutgers give financial aid to low income, Out of State Students?</p>

18

<p>don;t go to direct programs for pharm...it's not worth it...there is a reason why it's extremely easy to get into these programs O.o</p>

19

<p>And what might that be? From what I hear, it isn't easy to get into the programs because so many people apply (the ones from high school and the ones transferring) and they have just as many (if not fewer slots) than other pharmacy schools...</p>
