looking at the posts I dont see anyone talking about Rutgers University. Did anyone get in, or are Rutgers only accepting their students and not transfers.
I am interested in applying and just wondering..
 
I am a Rutgers 2011 student. I was accepted right from HS, since I only completed my first two years I don't have too much to say about the pharmacy school as of now. All I know is that they accept a very small amount of transfer students, also there usually are not to many people talking about rutgers on this forum.
 
I've been accepted into the Rutgers Class of 2011 as a transfer student. I was REALLY not expecting to get in there because I heard that they only accept 10-20 transfer applicants a year. The majority of the ~300 pharmD students come in from Rutgers pre-professional years.
I have almost no pharmacy experience, but very good stats (98 PCAT & 3.9 GPA). I think numbers are more important to Rutgers than to some other schools.

In any case, their application is cheap ($60) and easy (bio. info and one short personal statement), so it can't hurt to apply. But leave yourself plenty of other viable options.

Good Luck!
 
Invisigoth, could you provide me with more information about your background and who the advisors were that accepted you? I am looking to be in your position soon but I did not do as well on my G.P.A.. What school did you go to before hand?

Hey, did you apply via college-to-college transfer, or as a transfer student from another school? I only ask cuz I applied through college-to-college, and I interviewed with them on the 29th of May, but I'm still waiting for a response. Please lemme know.

I don't know who the advisors were or who reviewed the application. I interviewed with the dean, who most likely conducts all the interviews. I've just completed my last semester at Touro college, a small liberal arts college in NY, where I earned a BS in bio. I worked at a community pharmacy for about 6 mo.s and volunteered for a couple of months at a hospital pharm. in Israel, on vacation. Anything else?

I heard they only have about 10 seats for college-to college transfers so its real difficult. do u mind sharing ur pcat and gpa scores.
 
If anyone hears back from RU and they are a college-to-college transfer, please post. Thanks.

I don't know yet. I am doing a fellowship which starts Monday. There are several different options to complete the Rutgers component, and teaching is a popular one. I really want to try teaching. 🙂 I actually was accepted into Rutgers as a student, but I decided not to go there - still, I was fated to be there, apparently. 😀
