<p>Hi I am applying regular decision to the pharmD program at northeastern and was wondering if i had any chances of getting in.
Here are my stats:
gpa - 3.75 weighted (took all honors and ap’s)
sats- 1790 (650 math 550 critical reading 590 writing)
act’s - 28
over 20 extracurriculars (school newspaper etc)</p>
<p>Do i have any chance of getting into their program?? NEU is my top choice!!</p>
<p>You might want to retake the SAT in Jan and try to improve those scores. Those are low to be accepted into PharmD.</p>
<p>@ek83645 What specific grants did you get?</p>
<p>Its called “northeastern university grant”</p>
<p>lala27… I believe that Northeastern University only takes Pharmacy applicants in their Early Action pool (due November 1st).</p>
<p>@BCHopefully-- there’s nothing in the application or on the PharmD website about having to apply EA for PharmD.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/pdfs/checklists/freshmancklist2010.pdf[/url]”>http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/pdfs/checklists/freshmancklist2010.pdf</a></p>
<p>Under important information, it says no January applications for Pharmacy. Unless it means for those who are applying domestic/international for January admission.</p>
<p>And I was highly aware that since Northeastern only admits a select few into their Pharmacy program (a little over 100 or so), they do not have the room to accept from both Early Action and Regular Decision applicants… Unless I am wrong. If so, I extremely apologize.</p>
<p>My son applied in October but did not indicate Early Action. He selected Pharmacy on the common app, and looking at his application on line, there’s no indication that he was too late. January may be too late as indicated on the link you posted, but I don’t believe that you have to indicate Early Action to apply for Pharmacy.</p>
<p>If your son applied in October, wouldn’t have the school automatically considered him for Early Action (since the Early Action deadline is not even due for another month)? He had to have indicated either Early Action or Regular Decision to submit his application, and I assume he did Early because he applied in October.</p>
<p>I helped my cousin with her application (she wants to do Pharmacy), and I could have sworn that somewhere on the website it indicated that the Pharmacy applications were due November 1st. I remember this because I kept telling her that if she couldn’t perfect her application (essays, etc.) in time that she still had regular decision but she told me that she HAD to submit it by the Early Action deadline. And this was just this past year.</p>
<p>Again, I don’t want to cause confusion or stir up anything, but this is just from what I’ve heard and know.</p>

<p>It’s okay to apply for pharmacy regular decision. I read that link you posted too, and I remember thinking the same thing, but I’m pretty sure that only applies to the JanStart program.</p>
<p>People have applied regular decision for Northeastern pharmacy before so I wouldn’t worry.</p>
<p>I think applying early action is just preferred and increases your chances since they accept a larger percentage of students from the EA applicant pool.</p>
<p>pharmacy applicants can’t start in the spring, so you have to admitted into the fall semester. you can still apply rd, thats still part of the fall semester.</p>
<p>ea probably accepts a higher % of students, but thats probably because the weaker applicants apply rd.</p>
<p>My son isn’t applying for spring and we’ve confirmed that you don’t have to apply EA for PharmD. It’s all good. We just have to wait 
He has a full tuition offer from a higher ranked Pharmacy school, so we’ll see what NEU offers and go from there.</p>

<p>I honestly dont know if im going since i live in CA. I was offered 34K finanacial aid, but i think it’s only for the undergraduate part? im guessing going into the graduate portion of the program would be MUCH more expensive. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>did you get 34k per year? wow that’s a lot. thats more than 2/3 of the total price…
what scholarships did you get, if you don’t mind me asking</p>
<p>I got the Dean’s scholarship. But because of my family’s situation I was offered more financial aid. the 34K is for 2011-2012 only, which is why i’m having trouble deciding if i want to go there. They say the Dean’s scholarship is for 4 years, so the last two years will be tough to pay off</p>
<p>[Tuition</a> 2010-2011](<a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/billing-tuition1011.html]Tuition”>http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/billing-tuition1011.html)
Standard undergrad tuition is 1,137 per credit hour (first 4 years of PharmD cost slightly less but per credit hour is not stated). Graduate school tuition (only for the 5th year) for Bouve is 1,100 per credit hour. The sixth year only costs 10,000 per term because you’re just doing rotations the whole year. Shouldn’t be that bad.</p>
<p>I don’t get need-based aid, so I could be completely wrong… but it may say the 34k is only for 2011-2012 because the need-based part needs to be re-evaluated each year. (I think FAFSA has to be filled out every year, right?). So if your family is in the same position next year, you may very well get the same amount. If your situation improves, you’ll probs get less and vice versa. You should definitely find out if this is the case.</p>
<p>you’re right about the need-based aid. It could very well change each year. It just occurred to me that since the pharm D program requires students to take classes during the summer, that would mean another semester’s tuition on top of the usual two semesters?</p>
