Hey guys,

I'm a MI resident so i'm definitely applying to Wayne State and Ferris State universities. I'm not applying to U of MI because they require a supplemental application and I don't think i'd be able to finish it in time. Plus I don't have 100% confidence in my stats.

-GPA: 3.7
-PCAT: 79 with 3 writing score/
-LORs: 2, one from an employer, and one from a science professor.
-Pharmacy Experience: about 40 hours in a hospital pharmacy.
-Volunteer Experience: various events with a volunteer student organization.
-Work Experience: Kroger deli for 3+years next to full time, what makes this experience unique is that in our store, we have a cultural council team (volunteers) of 10 people to organize events and raise funds, etc, and I'm part of that team.
-Personal statement: pretty good so far, edited and proofread at by writing tutors and SDN proofreaders.
I think it's worth mentioning that I'm not a US citizen but a US resident. I haven't taken TOEFL because some schools are OK with ESL classes and getting an associate, which I have. Other schools require it. but again it's too late now for that. I have also mentioned my background in my personal statement.


What other schools should I apply for?
I'm thinking Purdue, SUNY, Pittsburgh so far.

Any advise? suggestions? All welcome !
 
You have to make the decision and consider what is best for you. That's completely up to you and no one can tell you what to do or where to go.
