anyone else got accepted ?

Hello.

I have been accepted into Butler's pharmacy program, but it is not a 0-6 program. They have an automatic advancement after the two pre-professional years, but you must meet certain requirements...

• Cumulative grade point average (GPA) at Butler University greater than 3.0.
• GPA greater than 3.0 in ten selected, critical prepharmacy courses listed below.
• No grade less than C- in any of the ten prepharmacy courses stipulated below. For the purposes of automatic advancement, none of these ten courses may be repeated to improve the student's GPA. If a student must repeat a course in order to satisfy a subsequent course prerequisite, the first grade received in the course is used in the calculation of the student's advancement GPA. (NOTE! See handbook)
• Students must take the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) no later than January of their second preprofessional year and achieve a minimum composite percentile score of 55.

I just copied this from their website. It goes more in depth there...

Hope this helps!

anyone else?

ACP mailed acceptance (RD) on March 4th.

I hate asking stupid questions so I really hope this isn't one... feel free to call me an idiot if it is though.

What's the difference between the regular pharmacy path (2-3 years of UG and then Pharmacy School) and a 0-6 or 2-4 program? Is it only the early acceptance or is the course material also different?

 

[wchen0311]

I apply to ACP day before 2/1 (deadline), received my accepted letter early March.
Apply to MCPHS 1/1, submitted my supplement day before 2/1 (dealine....-.-)..havent get anything from them yet....

 

[speciald]

Cscull, probably not a big difference in the long run, many routes can get you to a PharmD. With 0-6 or 2+4 with early assurance (aka guaranteed seat), you know what courses and gpa you need to get a seat going in. You're generally not in direct competition with others, only with the standard. You may be exempt from taking the PCAT and reapplying that way. And you have pre-pharmacy advising and maybe access to into to pharmacy type courses, which may not be offered at other schools.

wchen, I think you should call MCPHS and make sure they have everything they need (mid-year grades, LOR's etc). Did you get your FA package from ACP yet? We were disappointed with the low scholarships they gave compared to the other schools. MCPHS was much better in that respect.

 

[cdpiano27]

Did ACP simply not meet the "financial need" on the FAFSA? Or they just gave out all loans with almost no grants? The Chinese girl that I recommended on this board 2 years ago to go to ACP got good financial support from them. If ACP did not meet the "financial need" on FAFSA, then I think you could call up financial aid department and speak to them, and tell them that MCPHS met your need, and you expect reconsideration of your financial aid package.

 

[speciald]

ACP came nowhere near meeting our EFC, not that we expected them to as their average need met is 51%, with 75% of that coming from loans/work study. Their FA package consisted of mostly student loans and a merit scholarship which was very small in comparison to other schools. For example, MCPHS would cost half of ACPHS after FA, and I know that ACP underestimates the COA (ie. the meal plan is $900/semester and is a la carte, which is obviously way too low for a resident student).

A close friend's son is a P3 there and said their FA has always been very small to nonexistent. I know ACP doesn't have a huge endowment and have undoubtedly been hurt by the recession. Not worth jumping through hoops for, even if they increased by a few thousand, as we still have adequate choices with the other schools. Just wondering if it affected alot of people or if this was actually an admit/deny situation! (But our high school sends kids to ACP fairly regularly with lower or similar stats so I'm thinking it's something else.)

 

[enchanted]

Applied to ACP on 1/25 and got my acceptance letter on 3/15
