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,

Expensive tan

Hi I was wondering what my chances are for January 2013 Admissions. I have a Science GPA of 2.8 if I count the two classes I did No Credits for. If I don't count those (Not sure if Caribbean schools count them) then my science GPA is 3.1. My overall GPA is about a 3.5. I have taken all my pre reqs. I've been volunteering at a local hospital for the past year. I also did a thesis paper for my Honor's psychology class and have a good recommendation from my professor. I also have recommendations from my Organic chemistry professor, my anatomy & physiology Lab TA and from the hospital I volunteer at. I was also a member of my school's Global Medical Brigades and got a chance to go to Honduras to set up clinics and help treat the locals. I just recently took the MCAT's and I expect my score to be between 25-30. Should I apply? Or is there something I can do to further improve my application?

Should be fine as is.

science GPA a bit low (yes, NCs like Fs count), apply, but MCATs will make a difference.

How long did everyone's app take for their final review? Mine has apparently been with the committee for two weeks now and still no word. I'm getting antsy as to whether I need to retake my MCAT this summer and re-apply places. I found out on Friday that I got into Ross...but SGU is my first choice. I'm not really wanting to go to Ross after all the negative things I've read about their clerkships being a mess. Thoughts?

I've been waiting two months and still no decision.

Should I tell them that I got into Ross so I need a decision? lol. I wonder why yours is taking so long. Did you apply for Aug or Jan?

yes, you should tell them that you have been accepted to ross but that sgu is preferred school and that if accepted, you would attend sgu.

this is a bad time of the year, since bay shore (or i guess we have to start calling it great river now) is busy with the graduating class and commencement that with applications for the aug class...

Ok thanks. Just making sure that this is an acceptable thing to do.
