Rutgers 6-Year Pharmacy. Good shot?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>I heard about the Pharm program a year or two ago when a friend of mine got accepted, but I mainly swept it under the rug until I found out recently that a couple of my other friends are attending Rutgers 6 year. After looking into it... I think it's become one of my higher choices. Good shot?</p>

<p>Stats.
Asian American, In-state.
Public school, quite competitive, 20 APs offered.<br>
Sends students to Ivies and top 10 colleges every year.
Class Rank: Reported in quintiles. Top quintile.
7 APs to be taken by senior year. That's the standard amount for top students (highest ever was 10 because of school system)</p>

<p>GPA: Probably a 3.67 UW but school reports it in some weird way.
SAT: 1390/2120, 1540/2340
PSAT: 219. Commended likely.
SAT II (expected) Math II 770 US History 750 Chemistry 700 But I'll tell you my scores when they come Thursday.
APs (expected) Chemistry 4 US History 5 Language 4</p>

<p>ECs (by senior year):
-I play the alto and baritone saxophone, clarinet, trumpet (haven't played in forever), and marimba.
-Marching Band - Section leader, soloist, Assis. Drum Major (11th) Drum Major, Vice President (12th). 4 years. Band awards.
-Indoor Drumline - Marimba player. 2 years. Band awards.
-Youth Orchestra - Trumpet player. 2 years.
-Tri-M Honor Society. 2 years.
-Online Text-Based Writing. 4 years. Wiki it.
-NaNoWriMo. 3 years. I can't finish these on time..
-Interact Club - Vice President. 3 years.
-DECA - Won awards in states and regionals. 2 years.
-UPenn Lab - Volunteer work at the environmental medicine technician lab. 3 years.
-UPenn Biomedical Research Academy - summer program. 1 year, summer. *(Either that or UPenn Physics Academy, but that's irrelevant)
-Chinese School Volunteering - former volunteer officer. 2 year.
-Virtua Hospital Volunteering. 1.5 years.
-NHS. 1.5 years. (Running for officer, no idea how it'll go.)</p>

<p>Recs: English, Music, Chemistry. English and music will hopefully be great, Chem I'd imagine would be ordinary.
Essays: I can write very well. I'll manage.</p>

<p>Good shot? Like 7 kids in my school applied and I know at least one who didn't get in...</p>

<p>Hey elissa I was actually thinking of transferring into pharmacy (into the 4th professional year). Did you only complete the prerequisites? did you have to take the PCAT? what was your GPA and PCAT score?</p>

<p>I actually already completed most of the prereqs at the community college in NJ. I am only short of a few gen ed courses. </p>

<p>I would pick one that is closer if I were you.</p>
