Possible options and schools I should look into(CHEM/Pharm)

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey, I have a 31 on my ACT but firmly believe I can achieve a 33 by next fall. I am currently junior. My reason for this thread is asking for schools that you believe that I should look into that have above-average biochemistry and/or Pre-pharmacy studies and possibly good pharmacy programs that are combined. Also if you could include some finaid opinions in there as well that would be much appreciated. I would like a medium to large school and anywhere in the United States, although for tuition I do live in Iowa.</p>

<p>ACT: 31
GPA: 4.0
EC:
9 years of varsity sports (football, track, and Summer Baseball) (13 years total)
Own my own shaved ice business(summers) (6K+/summer)
160+ volunteer hours
Team captain for Football 3 years(1 varsity)
Team captain baseball (2 years varsity)
worked as a pharmacy technician 10 hours/week 1.5 semesters</p>

<p>Thanks for your time,</p>

<p>It’s hard to include FA options since FA is based on a few things:</p>

<p>1) your parents’ income and assets (many people don’t qualify for ANY aid or they don’t qualify for the amount that they want.)</p>

<p>2) Most schools don’t “meet need.” </p>

<p>So, even if we told you that XXXX is known for great FA, if you don’t qualify for the amount of aid that you need, then that won’t do you any good.</p>

<p>Ask your parents how much they’ll spend each year. Have them use the Net Price Calculators at a few different schools to get an estimate of your FA situation.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
