ACP vs Northeastern vs Rutgers vs Rhode Island

[poolshark333]

I'm a Junior in High School living in Albany, New York and very interested in getting a PharmD. Can anyone give pros / cons for each of these schools? I would also like to run track/cross country for a Division 1 school as well (which would leave out ACP since they only have club but its close to home)

Albany doesn't have track, but Union does. From ACP's athletics page:

"Our students also are eligible to participate in Union College athletic programs that are not offered at ACPHS. Union offers NCAA Division I men's hockey and a full range of NCAA Division III sports, including football, lacrosse, softball, baseball, swimming and track."

Have you looked at the accepted students stats for all these schools? Rutgers and URI have much higher acceptance standards, particularly Rutgers since you're out of state.

If cost is a factor or you're likely to qualify for fed/state aid, you might want to look at that now, ie. get an estimated EFC number. If you stay in NY you'd be eligible for TAP and other instate funding programs.

that's funny, i'm from Albany NY too poolshark. Anyway, I'm wondering the same thing - can anybody answer please?

They are all 0-6 programs which i like, but how do they compare with regards to strength of school/social scene/atmosphere/being too "weedy"

Thanks!

Thanks! I got a letter in the mail on Saturday 12/5. Your profile says you are a pharmacy student. Where do you go?
