I change my mind so much... I need more suggestions

College Search & Selection
1

<p>So about a month or so ago, i posted asking about possible college options for myself...saying i was looking for something physics or business related...</p>

<p>Now, due to the fact that i am not learning anything in physics and i feel that i won't be prepared for college level physics...My interest is rapidly shifting back towards chemistry, which i am better at and i find more interesting. I would like to get involved with pharmacy, so if anyone has any suggestions about colleges that are strong in pharmacy (and match my stats), please let me know. Thanks! BTW i prefer colleges anywhere east of, oh lets say iowa.</p>

<p>06 white male, public hs in central Pa

16th weighted, 20th unweighted
203 psat (67 cr 66 m 70 w,first in my class)
took Dec SATs, get score on friday, around 1320-1390</p>

<p>classes:
AP English- 83 first marking period...my teacher's grading scale is out there
AP calc 1- 85 first marking period, i'll take the blame for this one
Honors Physics-100 even though i haven't learned anything

american law-95</p>

<p>I have taken all level one or honors classes to this point.
all A averages in those classes as well</p>

<p>My EC's
Golf- 2 yrs jv golf, 1 yr varsity so far, another year upcoming...
baseball- 1 year jv (didnt try out fresh year)but will be a varsity pitcher this yr and next year.
debate- member of the national forensics league, i believe level of distinction, 3 years w/ another next yr
Student council- executive committee since 9th grade (actually 7th, but that doesnt matter), most likely will be president next year, apparently im running uncontested...nice...Attended 2 state conferences, with a third next year, 2 district conferences (we were host school last yr) and another this yr and next year, as well as attending 2 summer Student council workshops, and will most likely be volunteering at one this summer.
Class prez 10th/11th grade and hopefully sr yr if my school lets me do this and student council prez.
National Honor Society
Various church/youth group activities</p>

<p>So there may be more EC's but not really any more important ones.
Sorry for my long winded post lol. input is appreciated!</p>

<p>Speaking from an NJ viewpoint, Rutgers University:School of Pharmacy is excellent. It is very reputable and many people respect Rutgers let alone that division of the university. I would take a strong look at that or Temple and The University of Sciences in Philadelphia too. All of these schools could be safety/matches so maybe you could look for some scholarships? Not sure if those schools are what your looking for, but each one, from what I heard and read, holds a decent reputation. :) Hope this helps you a little</p>

<p>Northeastern (Boston) has a good pharmacy program too. Just keep up the good work.</p>

<p>There should be a list of top pharmacy programs on the web....i remembered seeing Long Island University, SUNY-Buffalo, and Rutgers on the list.</p>

<p>If you think you might be interested in a pharmacy program, I suggest you go to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy website. Click on the students section - there you will find information about what the requirements for becomming a pharmacist are, how to evaluate different pharamacy programs and pre-pharmacy programs, and a list of accredited pharmacy schools. <a href="http://www.aacp.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.aacp.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you just want the list of accredited pharmacy programs, go to the Accreditation council for pharmacy education - the accrediting body:
<a href="http://www.acpe-accredit.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.acpe-accredit.org&lt;/a> They also have some useful information about what it takes for a school to become accredited.</p>
