<p>Well, admissions this year have been a crapshoot. I got wait-listed at a school I thought I had a real chance at, outright denied from Berkeley (well, I’m not too upset about this one, it is Berkeley after all). I only applied to two UCs, Davis and Berkeley. I did get into CSU Sacramento, and St. John’s six year PharmD program. I’m still waiting on University of the Pacific, I applied to their six year program as well. As you might infer, my desire is to go into Pharmacy. However I want to remain close to home (Sacramento) because of my sick mother, so UoP and UC Davis are ideal. However, what should I do in the case that I’m rejected from UC Davis and UoP? St. John’s program is out of the question (way too expensive), although I am a finalist for a large scholarship (if I get it, it might change this).</p>
<p>Okay, worst case scenario: I get rejected from everything. Should I just attend CSUS, and hope that I can get into a good Pharmacy program (and why is that state schools have such a bad rep)? Should I go to a CC and just transfer to a UC, and of course take the risk of not being able to get into the necessary courses in two years? Or, what is the possibility of transferring from a CSU to UC Davis? </p>
<p>Any advice would be helpful. :)</p>
