Thread: Post "What are My Chances?" Here ONLY

I am very interested in attending St. George.
I do not have a B.S. degree but have 206 units of college units.
I have earned Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree and a licensed pharmacist in the state of michigan.
My stats are as follows:
Pre-requisite GPA: 3.25
Pharmacy GPA: 3.03
Math/Science GPA: 3.25
Been in Active Duty for a few years and served as the Assistant chief, Department of pharmacy for a Military facility.
I have not taken the MCAT due duty but will do so ASAP once back in the States. Officer in Charge for Inpatient pharmacy for 2 years and Served as the Recorder and Coordinator of Medication Use Evaluation Committee for the Hospital.
Well, that is some of my stats and info.
Anyone willing to comment on my chances of admission at SGU is welcomed (Positive or Negative)
Thanks,

All the best with your application.

can i please have it as a graduation present??

please?

pretty please??

Roks, I was so happy for you when I saw this stickied last week (I think). It was a victory for the people!!

I now sympathize with your renewed angst...

Anybody else laying over in Trinidad tonight??

jiggin, I am only a 1st year so take what follows with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure a 2.7 science GPA will preclude an acceptance from SGU barring an "exceptional" MCAT score (by that I mean exceptional by SGU standards so like 30+). But just guessing, really.

If SGU doesn't work out, Ross is known for being easy on the acceptance standards and then flunking/decelerating all sorts of students but if you can objectively say with certainty that you can handle medical school then that's always a possibility. We obviously can't tell you what you should do, but I hope we give you some things to chew on.

All the best

UK medschools are really selective for who they'd accept (and have very few spaces for int students). UCAS Home Page is the directory and applications service for British medschools. Good luck

but why don't you do a master's in science and do well so that you may have a shot at a US school.

Hey guys, I applied to SGU about two weeks ago, and I'm wondering what my chances are at even getting an interview. My undergrad cum is 2.76 (majored in Biology), and my master's so far is a 3.3 (Biomedical Sciences). MCAT is a 25 the first time, 31st the second. Any thoughts would be appreciated; thanks!

P.S. If this post seems familiar, thats because I posted in the wrong thread before, I apologize for that.

In your case it will be very hard to predict. Although they will like that you have increased your gpa from undergrad, the 2.76 is fairly low and carries a lot of weight. On the other hand, your MCAT is excellent and hopefully will be enough to pull the other grades up. Also, hopefully you have a few good e.c.'s to spruce up your application some. Just stick it out, only time can tell......

Which term are you applying for? Term gets more competetive as you get closer to start date.

All the best with your application.
