It is rare (but also *totally* fine) for high school seniors to know EXACTLY what they'd like to do with their lives, so I'm just asking you to consider your options. Job outlook isn't so great right now-- at least in the places where most people would like to live. Midwestern and Loyola aren't particularly cheap schools, either, and if you commit to their program there's not much room to change your mind. If you are absolutely dead-set on doing pharmacy, however, DAP/another 0-6/guaranteed admissions etc. would pretty much be the best way to go. Going through a traditional undergraduate program, however, has the added benefit of being able to do something else if you'd like. Up to you, I guess.
I don't know if I should tell you what my stats were because I don't know if I was in the top half or bottom half of people who got accepted, nor do I know if anything's changed since, so I don't want to be misleading you, or anything-- since Midwestern doesn't release data about their applicants it's hard to tell for sure. If you'd like to know regardless, I don't mind. I could see them granting you some leeway for a low ACT if you had pharmacy-related ECs to make up for them (I didn't have those when I applied, though other people I talked to at Midwestern did).
Not sure where you're at in the application process, but I remember I had to apply to Loyola first and wait for an acceptance before I could access the DAP application materials. Sent my ACT, transcript, LORs and all that other good stuff. A few weeks after the deadline or so, I got an e-mail asking to attend an MCV on their campus. They had a small panel of DAP students who talked about their experiences with the program and some other Midwestern staff talked to us, and then we had to write a few timed short-essays. Can't remember what the essay questions were by now but they were pretty typical college-app essay grade stuff. We then got separated into groups of 6 or so and assigned to different rooms to do group interviews with 2 or so other people from Midwestern. Having to do it in groups eased the tension down quite a bit, though I don't know if it was actually much easier because people would sometimes say what you were going to say before you had a chance to say it. Parents had to wait outside the entire time. They said they'd do a campus tour at the end but decided not to because it was already dark and the buildings were already locked (Midwestern was really anal about security, not sure if they still are). That's it.
