Advice needed on School List
Hello everyone,
I'm honestly lost on my school list and was wonder if anyone has any recommendations.
Stats:
ORM; NJ Resident 1st Generation (if this even makes a difference)
PharmD graduating in 2026 from RU.
cGPA: 3.46 (Slight upward trend) (I know it's pretty low lol)
sGPA: 3.3 (Slight upward trend)
Graduate GPA: ~3.6-3.7
MCAT: 512 (127/128/129/128) 1 attempt.
Clinical Hours: 1000 hour as a pharmacy intern (consultations and vaccinations) and 1000 hours across different rotations during pharmacy school.
Non-Clinical Hours: ~800 hours as a Walgreens cashier. 400-500 hours of misc. rotations that shouldn't count as clinical since I was mostly filling medication with no patient encounters.
Non-Clinical volunteering: 40 hours NJ Special Olympics working with special needs athletes. Currently only 8 hours at a food bank but I'll probably have ~60-80 hours by application.
Research: 80 hours with a poster presentation.
LORs: 3 PharmD professors (should be quite strong on all of them).
Shadowing: 20 hours IM
I haven't done my research so I'm in dire need of help in formulating my school list so any recommendations is appreciated. Currently have no budget limit for my application so as many school as possible. Preferably want to stay in the north east but not a for sure requirement. Do not care if it's DO or MD, I want family med and I'm dead set on the specialty. Thanks for all the help!
