PharmD Chances?

<p>So I was looking at a couple of 6 year PharmD programs and I was wondering if my stats were looking good to get into any of the schools. </p>

<p>I am currently a Junior in HS living in Ohio right now. </p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Gender:Male</p>

<p>GPA:3.59UW/4.00 (This will go up, I'm pretty determined to get this up to a 3.75UW...if that's possible)
SAT: 1970 (Planning on retaking)
MATH:700 (Will be 800. Made some stupid mistakes before)
CR:660 (Will go up slightly)
W:610 (Will go up significantly)</p>

<p>SAT IIs: I heard that they don't really help at all, any advice on that?</p>

<p>Three APs this year, HS doesn't let sophomores or freshmen take APs.</p>

<p>8th grade
Honors Algebra I (HS credit)</p>

<p>Summer
Gym (Don't even know why I'm including this)</p>

<p>Freshman Year
Band
Jazz Band
World Studies
Honors Geometry
Honors English
Biology
Spanish I</p>

<p>Sophomore Year
Jazz Band
US History
Honors Algebra II
Spanish II
Chemistry I
Personal Finance
Honors English</p>

<p>Junior Year
Honors Anatomy and Physiology
Honors Pre-Calc
AP Chemistry
Spanish III
AP Government
AP Psychology
Honors English</p>

<p>Senior Year (School is switching to 6 period days, this is a tentative schedule.)
AP Biology
Honors Physics
AP Spanish IV or Spanish IV or AP Statistics
Advanced Composition or maybe Brit Lit
AP Calculus BC
Maybe AP Micro and Macro Economics (Heard the teacher sucked but I need an econ credit and I'm not going to waste a semester taking regular econ)</p>

<p>There is somewhat of an upward trend. Freshman year was fine but sophomore year was kinda rough for me. I suffered in Alg II but I currently have an A in Pre Calc. Chem I to AP Chem is just...ridiculous, my grades in there are not looking so hot. Does that really affect me in any way?</p>

<p>ECs and Volunteering:
Varsity Recreational Basketball during Junior Year, will participate in the play offs.
JV Tennis, one of the top 5 ranked teams in the state
Guitar-6 years
Piano-7 years (2 years in Jazz band)
Trombone-4 years (4 years in band)
Can speak/understand Chinese fairly well (Not fluent because I can't write Chinese)
Will have 100+ Hours to Choice Food Market (Food Pantry)
Tutoring reading for a 2nd grader, 1 hour a week
Going to take the American Chemical Society Exam
(Probably) AP Scholar
(Will start volunteering at the Children's Hospital, probably in the summer, maybe later in the semester)
Children's worship leader, 50+ Hours
Youth Group Worship Leader ? Hours
Active member in the Youth Group
Youth Group Planning Committee
Church Teen Choir
Various volunteer work</p>

<p>Might get a job at KI (Kings Island) in the summer, not sure how that looks on a college resume.</p>

<p>Recommendations:
I've been told by fellow students that my Honors Anatomy and my AP Chem teacher's recommendations are outstanding and that the Advanced Comp teacher's recommendation is going to be amazing.
But I haven't had much contact (actually, none at all) with my counselor :P so that's going to be sub-par at best.</p>

<p>Essay:
It's really not going to be anything phenomenal or noteworthy considering that writing really isn't one of my strong points (as evidenced in my low writing SAT score).</p>

<p>So, what do you think? I'm looking at Northeastern, John Hopkins, ONU, OSU, Rutgers, UOP (5&6 year), Duquesne, Hampton, St. Johns at Queens, UCSF, and just for fun, if I have any chance for the Ivy's. haha</p>

<p>Thanks, appreciate it!</p>

<p>Awards:
Not many, Honors Roll every year so far
(Probably) AP Scholar
UGive.org Jeffersonian Award</p>

<p>The only 0-6 pharmds i recognize on yours is northeastern, rutgers, and st. johns. If your SATs go up by 100 points as you say you should be fine. Your gpa is a little low, and from what i’ve heard pharmds don’t care TOO MUCH about ecs, but your SAT should offset that. At the very least you’ll make one of those 3 and those are 3 of the best 0-6 pharmds in the nation.</p>

<p>thanks for your reply!</p>

<p>So does it really look like I have a fair amount of ECs? I mean, when I browse on here, it looks like everyone’s starting orphanages and curing cancer or something.</p>

<p>anyone out there?</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>come on, anyone there?</p>
