Junior needing help with colleges

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello All, I am looking into being a pharmacist, and need some more help deciding on which schools to apply to (and are possibilities into being accepted)
I'd rather get into a 0+6 program, but a 2+4 program wouldnt be the worst thing</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
4.45 GPA (3.85 unweighted)
Class Rank: 10/323 (top 5 percent)
1350/1600 SAT (retaking in may and june)
Will have 5 AP classes completed by graduation
Class President all 4 years
Nat. Honor and Italian Honor Society
Varsity Football 4 years (Sen. Capt)
Varsity Hockey 4 years (Jun. and Sen. Capt.)
Volunteer work
Job at Town Library 4 years through high school</p>

<p>Those are the basics. I am looking into Rutgers (since i am from NJ), Northeastern, URI, and Mass. College of Pharmacy as my top choices. Please, help me out with some other colleges, or let me know if you all think i can get in or need to really do more in my last year.
Thanks,
Billy</p>

<p>UConn and St Johns also have it.</p>

<p>I believe for UConn you gotta take the PSAT and I’m trying to avoid that if I can lol
And That part of NY isn’t really an option for me at St. Johns =X</p>

<p>University of the Pacific (UOP) has five-, six-, and seven-year accelerated pre-pharm programs: [Pre</a> Pharmacy - University of the Pacific](<a href=“http://web.pacific.edu/x9454.xml]Pre”>http://web.pacific.edu/x9454.xml)</p>

<p>try ut pharmacy, they are top ranked and they love high-ranking students.</p>

7

<p>do you guys think i have a shot at getting into my top choices ( Rutgers , Northeastern, URI )</p>

8

<p>I think you have a very good chance. </p>

<p>I had a roommate that was a pharmacy major at Northeastern. From observing his interaction with his study group you could see that classes/study were quite rigorous.</p>

<p>Rutgers has a strong rep in this area. I don’t know about URI.</p>

9

<p>Northeastern is the hardest school to get into out of those three. URI should be a shoe in. you have a great shot at all 3</p>

<p>thanks for the input. I’m afraid my SAT score is going to hurt me though. I’m horrible at Standardized tests =/</p>

<p>we have a wonderful pharmacy school down here in New Orleans called Xavier University.</p>

<p>Even though it is a primarily black school, the pharmacy school is very diverse. White, oriental (all types), hispanic, black.</p>

<p>it also has an excellent premed program</p>
