I'm a senior in high school, and I have a list of schools that I'm applying to, but I know I need more, including some safety schools just in case. My SAT's aren't impressive, as I have a 1780. And I have a weighted GPA of 4.1. What colleges have early assurance programs? So far I know there's Duquesne University and Albany College, which are probably within my reach. Hopefully.
Do you know of other schools with early assurance or 0-6 programs?
Also, what schools are you applying to? 🙂

Here's some of the other schools that I'm also applying to:
UOP
St. Louis College of pharmacy
St. John's University
Massachusetts
USP
URI
Presbyterian College

Thanks guys!

I thought STLCOP isn't 0-6 anymore starting 2014, and the others will follow suit soon. Anyway, if you do get accepted, pick one that's been around for a while (so not Presbyterian) and is cheaper. I went to USP and am not liking those student loans.

StLCOP is 7 years starting with the incoming 2014 class...I'd cross them off your list. Too expensive.

Oh okay, but how do you like USP? I know, these schools are so expensive. Maybe I should try the traditional 8 years instead..
For the early assurance and 0-6, what happens if you don't meet the required GPA to transfer to the professional stage?

I believe PharmCAS has a longer list, but off the top of my head, Rutgers University in New Jersey also has a 0-6 program.

I didn't like it too much, but it got the job done of getting me out in 6 years so now I'm a clinical pharmacist at 25. If you don't meet the required GPA, well then you're out of pharmacy and can get a BS in something

Hello!
I am currently a P2 student at ACPHS and thought I could give you some helpful information. ACPHS does have an early assurance program. If you are accepted early assurance, you will have to meet 4 criteria in order to progress into the professional years: GPA of 3.0, PCAT scores in the 20th percentile, a PCAT writing score of 300, and you will have to pass a faculty interview. If these four criteria are met by the end of the pre-pharmacy program, then you will not have to reapply via PharmCas, and you can progress into the professional years. I hope this was helpful, and good luck!
