<p>so a friend of mine was accepted with a 3.2, and another denied with a 3.8… anyone else hear of this happening???</p>
<p>Was the 3.8 maybe a 0-6 PharmD applicant or applying to some specific program?</p>
<p>honestly, gpa isn’t really an accurate measure of a student, especially unweighted. some schools are really hard, and have hard-working students with less than 4.0’s, but 30+ ACT… while other schools are really easy, but their top students don’t score as high on national tests. i think national tests like the ACT/SAT are more accurate in predicting a student’s academic success, because the difficulty of classes vary from school to school.</p>
<p>now i’m not saying that gpa’s don’t matter at all, because i think a 2.0 vs 4.0 makes a huge difference, but i’m just saying that it should not be the only factor.</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome?</p>
<p>no it wasn’t phD it was BA!! have you guys heard anything about transfer students?</p>
<p>Lol, thats the first time someone has called a PharmD a phD in front of me. 
In any case, I have extensive knowledge on Rutgers’ admissions and transfer programs, but not NE. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.</p>
<p>haha sorrry i was in a hurry, i diffidently ment pharmD!</p>
<p>I got into the pharmD at NEU and am waiting for my rejection from Rutgers!</p>
<p>congrats!! hopefully ill be there next year too, although im applying as a transfer. what was your gpa?</p>
