Hi,
This Upcoming fall I will be a Senior in HS. I currently live in Illinois and I am confused on what to do. I have a GPA of about 3.5 and an ACT score of 24 without the writing section & I'm in the top 10% of my class. My choices are: 1. go to U of I Urbana-Champaign for my pre-requisites and transfer into either Purdue or UIC for Pharmacy School (I would prefer Purdue, but the Out-of-state tuition would be high). 2. Go to Purdue for all 6 years but my total 6 year school cost would be high because all of my years would be out-of-state, or 3. Apply to STLCOP and hope to get in. Please Help! Any UIUC pre-pharmacy students out there? How hard is it to transfer into Purdue and UIC? What are the minimum GPA, PCAT scores accepted? HELP!!!

If I were you I would apply to STLCOP and other 0-6 programs. If I knew I wanted to do pharmacy in high school, I definitely would have went to a 0-6 program.
