Where should I go?

<p>Pardon me for creating another thread, but I am torn. I feel like by picking any one of the schools, I am giving up a lot from the others.</p>

<p>You don't even have to give me a reason lol...just tell me where you'd personally go! (your own advice would help, of course). I KNOW how important my own preference of the campus is, but I will address that later.</p>

<p>I am a life science major going into health (most likely pharmacy).</p>

<p>My options are:</p>

<p>-UCLA
Regents scholarship (full ride)
-UC Davis
Regents scholarship (full ride)
Close to home
-UCSD Muir College
Chancellor's Scholarship (about $3350 in loans)
Impacted major
-USC
Private (vs. public)
About $5500 in loans and $2500 WS for roughly 53k CoA</p>

<p>I am not Ivy material, and thus do not have to toss in Cornell to my 4-way decision :)</p>

<p>UCLA by a mile. It’s free and most highly ranked.</p>

3

<p>Of those you mentioned, the highest ranking for pharmacy is USC – although I remember University of Arizona as being ranked a bit higher, but that’s not part of your mix.</p>

<p>Haha ahh…I guess I am not into prestige, which is why I absolutely can’t decide between Davis and LA XD</p>

<p>And oh right, USC has a pharmacy school! Haha oh boy, should have looked at that.</p>

<p>apply for TAP at USC and you start at USC pharm school after just 3 years.</p>

<p>Josebi - do you know more about TAP? I didn’t think I’d get into USC, so I didn’t apply for TAP…and I don’t know how hard it is to get into the program as an undergraduate :/</p>

<p>by the way, if you want to graduate in 3 years you’re going to have to really bunker down and make sure you do well in all our classes. here’s a link to the TAP website [USC</a> Pharmacy - Pharm.D. Program - Programs - TAP Program](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/schools/pharmacy/pharmd/programs/tap.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/schools/pharmacy/pharmd/programs/tap.html)</p>

<p>a few things: if you apply while you’re an undergrad at USC, you must have a 3.2 GPA. you need 2 letters of rec, a resume, and you have to answer a couple essay prompts.</p>

<p>if you get into TAP, then i think you just need to maintain a 3.2 cummulative and 2.75 science gpa to be auto admitted to USC pharm school.</p>

<p>Hmm…I didn’t apply, so if I attend USC, I’d have to try and apply freshman year. Do you know the likelihood of being accepted as an undergraduate as opposed to high school senior? (provided I can maintain the grades) I don’t want to take my chances because USC will cost the most for me ><</p>
