<p>I'm considering applying to their 6yr program and I was wondering if anyone who attends Northeastern and got accepted into this program could tell me how they like it, positives/negatives, opinions, etc. about it?</p>

<p>Also, what are my chances of getting in?

<p>Your stats and extracurriculars are looking pretty good; I’d say you have a pretty good chance of being accepted into the program. I’m not 100% sure in this (someone correct me if I’m wrong, please!), but I don’t think Northeastern looks at subject test scores–only the SAT’s and AP’s. I hope you did well on the SAT’s! (:</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore in the pharm program right now…feel free to message me with any specific questions you may have!</p>

<p>Thanks for replying!!
Oh…I didn’t know that they didn’t look at subject tests. I think I’m going to take them anyways though because other schools look at them and I’m not going to apply to NU alone, just in case I don’t get in!</p>

<p>SAT’s were kinda ehh today… I think I was too nervous today or maybe I just wasn’t prepared enough! I’m probably gonna have to take it again or maybe look at taking the ACT. What were your test scores like, if you don’t mind me asking?</p>

<p>It’s possible. In different states there are different laws. I would check what the age and licensing requirements are in your state!</p>
