Hi everyone! I just had a hard question that I can't figure out on my own, so I thought - maybe someone here could help me. =)
There's been a family emergency and I have to go back home to DC. Currently, I'm a high school senior and have a great GPA but I only applied to schools in New York because I wanted to stay here. However, I just found out I'm going to need to take a semester or year off from school.
My question is if I apply as a freshman for the six year program to St. John's or LIU a year after graduating high school - would my application be looked down upon?
I have several other questions like if I were to work in a pharmacy either in DC or NY (depending on when I could come back) - would that help my application a bit? Also, if I do come back early, I might do a semester in either a SUNY or CUNY school but St. John's doesn't accept transfers and LIU only accepts transfers for the third year but they're much more competitive on transfers. I would much rather attend St. John's though. Another thing is that my guidance counselor is telling me that I have almost a 100% chance of getting into both if I come in as a freshman and write a letter about what I had to do during my year off school, but that my chances aren't 100% if I were to do the prerequisites at another school and transfer to LIU.
All in all, what should I do? And does anyone have any information or comments about the Pharmacy program at St. John's or LIU?
Thanks! =)
