<p>i was wondering is these schools offer any merit based aid??? Im an international student so this is the only way i can attend these schools. Im also applying as a pharmacy student.</p>
<p>university of the sciences in philadelphia
university of pittsburgh
u connecticut
st johns (queens)</p>
<p>also, does bc and uchic have pre pharm courses? I know that they dont have a specific pre pharm major or program but i was wondering if they have the required courses needed for pharm school</p>
<p>They have merit scholarships, but they may not have them for international students. For instance U Connecticut does not offer scholarships to international students.</p>

<p>You would have to check with each school. It only took me a few minutes to find the info for UC. You will find that many school’s do not offer scholarships or financial aid to international students, but I am sure there are some that do. Check with the schools you are interested in. If the information is not easily accessible on the school website then try asking the school.</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>Since you’re an int’l, not a lot of schools will give merit. </p>
<p>Others can chime in here, but I think UChicago gives a few merit scholarships for those with really stellar stats.</p>
<p>I would imagine that nearly all schools have “pre-pharm” since it’s not a major. Pre-pharm is like Pre-med…you major in what you want, but inlcude some required bio, chem, organic chem, etc courses - which all colleges offer.</p>
<p>USP’s top scholarships are pretty small compared to their COA…if I remember correctly, they are around $9K. Idk if they offer aid to internationals, but I would cross this one off the list if you’re going to need a lot of aid and substitute MCPHS or Wilkes instead (but check their aid policies for internationals).</p>
<p>SJU does offer a decent amount of merit scholarships, but competition for PharmD is high and acceptance is unlikely unless your SAT scores are above 1300. IIRC, they do not accept transfers into the PharmD program so you can’t start in another major.</p>
<p>well my sats are 1400 m and cr and i took it october and i expect it to be 1450-1500.</p>
<p>6 year programs like sju and rutgers accept transfers but like they have to go thru the whole 6 year. other pharm schools accept students only after they complete hte required courses.i think this is right lol</p>
