ahhhhhhhhhh

well from what I know about outside scholarship is that it depends on your school. Most schools or schools that gave you school grants, will take their grant money away...basically, you won't see your other scholarship money.....
There are some exceptions to that rule...that all depend on the school..

Hahastupidme

Pharmacy Program - Forums

Hahastupidme

ok, here is what ms. april had to say:
"Will you be earning your bachelor’s degree after the two years, or are you entering a transitional/accelerated program? If you are in a transitional/accelerated Pharmacy degree program, you would be eligible for up to 5 years of funding."

I'm going into pre-pharm too at UT

can somebody please answer a very important question?????

I haven't received any notification yet? but i got the e-mail/survey on friday does this mean that i got the scholarship, becuase it asked question like what does the scholarship mean to me and what was my first reaction when i first found out? did anybody else get this? IDK what wrong but i still have not received any notice by mail it's killing me, and i dont want to really get my hopes up because of the e-mail, i've called but all they tell me is to wait till then end of the week then call back next monday??? please help

ahhhhhhhhhh

@haha....if we do a 2+4 program...we do not get a Bachelor''s degree...that means we will be eligible for 5 years of funding....sounds great to me!!!! also...how certain are you for pharmacy...i have a chance to go to UNC-CH as an undergraduate and have a better chance of getting into their pharmacy school....but I choose to go to Emory...b/c I am not sure if I am 100% doing pharmacy....I am like 80% sure.....u??

@fatchuy... i am pretty sure you got the scholarship..

fatchuy08

thanks ahhhhhh! I hope so

Kiyoko

Wow, I'm really excited for all the scholars! Yet I didn't receive any notification whether I got it or not...:'(

Hahastupidme

same here...i am about 80% sure that i'll do pharmacy....well, i don't really wanna become a pharmacist, but I wanna do pharmacology. Pharmacology comes under biology major but im not sure how long we have to study for phamracology - i don't know the education level in order to become a pharmacologist. If someone knows it, please let me know!
