<p>does anyone know the kind of stats to get into the top pharmD/pre-pharmacy (out of high school) programs? it was a field day for me just to find the rankings, let alone admission statistics...</p>
<p>I agree, it does seem impossible to get this stuff; I have been trying forever with little avail. The Northeastern 6 year pharmD programs include St. Johns, Albany College of Pharmacy, Northeastern, University of Sciences in Philadelphia, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Long Island University and Duquesne University. However, the difficulty of admissions is hard to come by due to the fact that in many cases, such as Northeastern, the admission stats for pharmacy are not available but the stats for the college are. So is one supposed to add on a few GPA and SAT points since pharmacy is competitive? How many more points should be added on? It really is confusing. The only data I have been able to find is from schools that are nearly made entirely of people doing 6 year pharm D majors.</p>
<p>Albany College Of Pharmacy
Avg SAT (25-75 percentile) 1650-1860
Avg GPA: 3.60
Students in Top 10%: 43%</p>
<p>Earnet Mario School of Pharmacy (Rutgers)
Avg Sat. 1200-1360 (out of 1600)
Students in Top 10%: 67%
Please note that a mere 15% of these students are from out of state, so if you do not live in New Jersy, higher numbers will be needed.</p>
<p>Well that is all I know but I would love to know more. If anyone has any knowledge on the admission standards of 0-6 Pharm D colleges please post it. Also, anyone who has got into such a program, please post where you got in, where you didn't and what your stats are.</p>
<p>I hope this post could help a little and I hope it leads to more help.</p>
<p>Thanks,
D</p>
<p>the tough thing is that all the stats for undergrads, and im trying to get in out of high school, so i dont know how much harder that would be...hmm...</p>
<p>No, thoes stats are for people straight out of high school. The albany College of Pharmacy takes almost all their students from straight out of high school. The programs I mentioned are 0-6 programs that kids, like you, do straight from high school.</p>
<p>College of the Pacific has a terrific pharmacy program. Have you been in touch with them (since you're from the Bay Area)? </p>
<p>I've found the best way to find out the stats for specialty programs is to e-mail the Department Chairperson directly. Admissions seems to deal with generalities.</p>
<p>2040 SAT 3.5 UW GPA
I got into St. John's, LIU, and Northeastern. Waitlisted at Rutgers Pharmacy. I thought pharmacy schools were really selective, but their selectivity is about the same in relation to the university it's apart of. St. John's and LIU seem to accept a lot of people. However, they usually overaccept people in order to fill their seats so it's first come first serve with the deposit. I think if you have a 3.5 GPA, you should be able to get into several of the schools you posted. From my own research, St. John's has a nice campus for an urban location (Queens, NY) and their pharmacy program is really what St. John's is known for, everything else is kinda ehhh. LIU has a crappy campus in Brooklyn and the location isn't great, I think the program is just decent. Rutgers reported a 99% PCAT pass rate in one of their brochures. Oh this link has tons of pharmacy info. <a href="http://www.studentpharmacist.com/spjm/%5B/url%5D">http://www.studentpharmacist.com/spjm/</a></p>
<p>Are you sure LIU is a 0-6 pharm D program?</p>
<p>Hmm I checked their website and it says admitance to the program doesn't guarantee acceptance to the professional years. So I guess it's not 0-6, I always thought it was...

<p>Hey, I got into the same pharm schools as you did. I was just wondering where you're planning to attend. Well, that is if you're still planning to do pharm. </p>
<p>I wanna go to Northeastern a lot but it's so expensive. Sigh.</p>
<p>I would say the average SAT score for Rutgers Pharmacy is 1350-1400 (out of 1600). 1200 is extremely low for Rutgers Pharmacy.</p>
<p>Is that for in-state or general. Im pretty sure it is more competative for out of state students.</p>
<p>wendy88,
Yeah, I really love Northeastern. I have to pay $11,000, but I guess it's maneageable with a few more loans.. I'm deciding between Northeastern and St. John's and SUNY Bing. if I decide not to do pharmacy.</p>
<p>As someone mentioned, University of the Pacific has 5/6/7 year program. I think pretty much anyone who gets into the program gets some kind of scholarship--I got $15,000/year which means I pay as much as a UC ($20k) and I finish in 5 years. I had a 2100 SAT and 3.8 unweighted GPA. It's definitely not hard to get into, considering some of my friends got in with MUCH lower stats.</p>
<p>whats a 5/6/7 program? Can you explain a little. Thanks.</p>
<p>I'm assuming the 5/6/7 program would be the same program over periods of years</p>
<p>I know Albany College of Pharmacy has a 5 year program (Pharm D) </p>
<p>you attend all year and finish a year earlier, they also have the standard 6 year program </p>
<p>So I would guess that the 7 would mean you could relax and do the Pharm D in 7 years, again, I'm just guessing</p>
<p>and I've seen that for LIU you need a 2.5 GPA and a 1000 SATs to get in, which isn't hard AT ALL, but that's not for the pharmacy program, does anyone know about what you need for the pharmacy program?</p>
<p>If a college is known for its pharmacy programs, does that mean its pre-med studies are not that well-known?</p>
<p>I am considering U of the Sciences in Philadelphia and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.</p>
<p>Do those two have a good reputation for pre-med schools?</p>
<p>if youre in the northeast, consider albany college of pharmacy. i loved the campus and it's a really tightly knit school.</p>
