<p>I would say that you have a pretty good chance of getting in. Your course load seems pretty rigorous (you had a lot more APs than I did), and your SAT score seems to be the median range of what they accept for pharmacy students. Your ECs are impressive, and St. John’s is one of the few 0-6 pharmacy schools who take the ECs more into consideration (maybe you’ll qualify for some scholarships…)</p>

<p>St. John’s is one of the lower-tier 0-6 pharmacy programs out there. I would also recommend Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, UPittsburgh (once you meet the minimum requirements, which you do, then you’re basically in), University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, and Northeastern (more of a reach, but once again, you have a pretty good chance of getting in). Or if you want to try for some more competitive ones, you can go for UOP and Rutgers (Rutgers mostly weighs on SATS and GPA though). </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
