<p>So, I was looking at the NEU PharmD schedule of classes and i realized that i could pretty much skip all of my Freshman year by APing out of all the required classes. Would it be smart to do so? Also, is O Chem at NEU as difficult as people say it is? if you could, could you compare it to some class (or class load)?</p>

<p>Title pretty much says it all. Also, could you chance me in terms of grants/scholarships/aid etc?</p>

<p>I'm a junior at a public HS</p>

<p>GPA-3.59UW, Probably around 4.00+ W
(Definitely going to go up considering my course load and current grades)</p>

<p>Current Course load:</p>

<p>Honors Anatomy and Physiology-B, weighted is an A
Honors Pre-Calculus- A
AP Chemistry- B, weighted is an A
Spanish III- A
AP Government-A+
AP Psychology-A
Honors English-B, weighted is an A</p>

<p>SAT- 1970
CR:660
MATH:700
W:610
(Retaking on the 22nd, Aiming for an 800 in math and upping my cr and w scores too)</p>

<p>ACT-29, not amazing but whatever.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Band-9th Grade
Jazz Band- 9th and 10th grade
Jazz Combos-10th grade, helped lead the group
Youth Group
Worship Leader- been doing it for 3 years

<p>May get a job over the summer, don't know if that'll change anything in terms of chances</p>

<p>Awards:
Ugive.org Jeffersonian Award-Junior year
Principal's honor roll (High Honor Roll)- All years</p>

<p>Teacher Recs:
Apparently my Anatomy teacher writes AMAZING recs so I'm looking forward to that.
Also, I'm pretty sure it'll be good if I got my Chem teacher to write me a rec considering Pharm is pretty much chem applied in the medical field.</p>

<p>Counselor Rec:
Not sure, don't really know my counselor that well.</p>

<p>Essay:
Average, I'm not the best essay writer but I'm not the worst either.</p>

<p>thanks! I just need this to see where I need to improve so I'll have an even better chance come app time</p>

<p>im not sure for pharmacy because it’s a very competitive major but you have very impressive statistics! i would say if you could get your sat to around a 2050/2100 you would be absolutely set and probably get very good merit scholarships! good luck!</p>

<p>I was just recently accepted with a 1990 sat (superscore was 2030) and 31 act. I’d say you have a pretty good chance :)</p>

<p>weighted gpa doesn’t turn a B into an A. it just counts a B in an honors course more than in a normal course.
a B is still a B. your gpa will just be inflated. </p>

<p>you’re still a junior. Stats wise, you fall right into the northeastern middle 50. you’ll probably get some scholarship, but not the highest.</p>

<p>pharm is going to be more competitive mind you.</p>
