Getting into a school that doesn't accept transfers, but already a sophomore?

I live on Long Island, and I really want to go to St. John's in Queens. The only thing is that they don't accept transfers for their Pharmacy program, but I am willing to start from square 1.

However, I did apply during my senior year of high school and my application was late, but someone from the admissions office e-mailed me and told me that even if my application was on time, I wouldn't have gotten into the program because it is very selective.

My SAT scores weren't horrible but I'm guessing it was because of my low grades in Chemistry. I have good overall GPA though.

So is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting into this program, or am I pretty much screwed? I'm working in a Pharmacy now since June/July, so that could be a plus.

Not sure what to do...

Why don't you look into other pharmacy schools? A PharmD is a PharmD no matter where you go to school as long as the school is accredited and meets the requirement of the State of New York, if you want to stay in NY after you graduate.

I really like this school, and it's the closest to where I live.
