lol, I just figured that I get a ballpark figure... for me I guess if I don't get into an accelerated pharmacy school... I'm looking at just finishing my BS next year and then doing my school's +3 (ACP). There aren't alot of those accelerated programs... *sigh
I can't speak for all of your schools, but I believe you have a very good shot at Sullivan. Also, if you don't get in at one of the 3 yr programs, but do get in at LECOM - Bradenton, I would recommend going to LECOM rather than waiting another year and getting your BS. Nothing in life is guaranteed and if you get accepted, go for it. Besides, if you were to wait another year and go to a 3 yr program, you would finish at the same time if you started a 4 yr program this year.
About 20 schools.
Granted... there are so many choices. My sister is in the same boat as me but I think she is going to take her BSPS and then do the change of programs @ the end of her final year to the pharmd. Eh sooo many choices but Lecom-erie is my top pick... but everything comes down to finances and oppurtunities...
For my I'll have a pharm.d in 4-5 years... just which route is the question.
PS. intraschool program transfer bypasses pharm.cas.

About the same as cinnamoroll, I've applied to 15 and thinking of adding 3 more schools. I don't know if this is overkill, but I would rather spend the money than another year waiting!
My friend has a 3.17 overall gpa, 2.81 sci gpa, 75 PCAT score, no degree, a year and a half of experience as a pharm tech, donated $5,000 to a homeless care group which helped a homeless couple get put into an apartment. He also helps these people by supplying them and aiding with pharmaceutical products since this couple has major health issues. He has also told me that he has an awesome personal statement and letters of recommendation.
Since he has a bunch of the requirements completed since this is his 4th year, he tells me that he plans to apply to at least 30 schools. Do you think that he will get in somewhere by applying to this many schools? He always asks for my opinion but I really do not know.

12 so far. Got 2 more I'm definitely applying to. Then I've got a few more that I will be applying to if I can scrounge up some more money for application fees.
Right now, just one: University of Minnesota. I may add another one, but I'm not too sure. Technically, I don't have to apply this year (since I already got accepted to one school), but I deferred and am exploring other options.
