Hi everyone,
I am currently a senior in high school. I really want to get into the Special Program For Pharmacy, which would also guarantee an invitation to the honors program. I was wondering if I would be considered for any merit scholarships since I probably wouldn’t be qualified for need-based. I am an in-state resident and am Asian. From what I’ve heard, it may be extremely difficult to obtain scholarships this year because of the huge budget cuts. Realistically, this is my only school because my parents would prefer me to stay local and are unwilling to help pay the huge tuitions at private colleges. I am planning on sending in my application within the next month since the deadline is 12/1/2017 for the special programs.
My stats are as follows:
I have a 4.51 GPA (weighted out of 5)
Ranked 18/288
35 Composite ACT - 35 English, 36 Science, 33 Math, 36 Reading
1470 SAT - 760 Math, 710 English (could be superscored to 1480 with a 720 in English) wasn’t planning on sending in SAT since my ACT score is better.
Extracurriculars include Math Team (9-12), Fencing, (9-12, varsity 11-12) various honor societies recognized at the school level and a few more clubs.
Taking AP Calculus AB, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, and AP Gov this year. Have taken AP Computer Science and AP Lang last year.
