<p>So I applied Early Action to SBU's pharmacology program. 88.12 GPA, 28% percentile class rank, 640Math 640 Readin 590 Writing, 700 on SAT II Chemistry, 620 on SAT II Math IC, 4 on AP Chem/AP US Exam, I volunteer 4 hours a week helping developmentally disabled adults, work 25 hours a week, FOUNDED a club, my teacher recs were awesome and so was my counselor rec, my essay was about how I lived in poverty as a child and how I overcame and how it made me a better person...</p>
<p>And I've been deferred to regular decision, they want to see my senior mid-year report. It's a good thing I have straight As this semester, but why wasn't I accepted? The only reason I can think is because a few of my junior and freshman total averages were kinda bad (I think I had a 67 freshman year in History and a 67 Junior year in AP Chemistry, and a 69 in Math junior year), but my overall GPA is still 88. I'm still waiting on the phone for a representative....WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS???</p>
<p>How many people do they let in to the pharmacology program Early Action? I would have guessed that since your stats are good, maybe they only let a couple of people in Early, that might be all that it is, and you'll be fine in regular decision pool</p>
<p>You were deferred because it's a competitive program, and your grades and scores are both on the weak side. Don't kid yourself... I wish you the best of luck getting in regular decision, but you weren't a shoo-in.</p>
<p>That said, it still sucks. Hopefully your mid-year grades will put you over the edge, since you seem so eager to come to SB.</p>
