<p>i am a rising sophomore in northeastern’s pharmacy program and i have to say that i loved my first year. the professors were engaging and smart, the students were fun and intelligent and the overall atmosphere of the college was great. i love how the small school of pharmacy (~140 incoming freshman) coexists with the larger overall university.
admissions into the school is ultra competitive; i’ve heard less than 10% of applicants are accepted, although between 10-20% is more likely true.
to give an idea of my stats:
i had sat1’s of 2110, 650V, 700M, 760W. 720 Latin, 690 Math IIC, 630 physics sat 2’s. scores of a 5 on ap latin and econ micro; and 4 on statistics, calculus ab, history and econ macro. i was class treasurer, school paper business manager, played varsity lacrosse and participated in regional and national model un conferences. I also had 3 years of experience working as a tech in a hospital pharmacy. i went to a very competitive boys school (9 out of 49 graduates were accepted early to harvard two years ago) where many students enter ivies or schools like duke and stanford.
a lot of my friends had similar or better numbers than me. i can’t tell you about anyone who had similar or better numbers that didn’t get in since i don’t know any.</p>
