I am about to graduate high school, and I was accepted into a university's dual admission pharmacy program, where I can do undergrad there and I will have a spot reserved as long as I meet the requirements. I am trying to decide whether I should accept this or attend undergrad at a different school and then apply to pharmacy schools once I have finished my prerequisites.
I want to make sure that pharmacy is right for me and I hope to shadow or gain experience by becoming a pharmacy tech. I also was planning on doing 2 years of undergrad and then pharmacy school, however is this possible? After reading threads under this, I realized I would have to apply for pharmacy school when I am towards the end of my freshman year in college / summer in between/ beginning of sophomore year. I am not sure I would have enough time to gain enough extracurriculars, as well as the letters of recommendation. I wanted to finish in 6 years as well with this path, as well as get into a better program. Also, with this school for undergrad, I would be getting paid to attend.
The program that I did get into, I don't really like the location and can't see myself spending 6 years there, however I believe it would be easier for me as I wouldn't have to apply to pharmacy schools. I also do have the choice to apply to other pharmacy schools as well but it would most likely follow the same path as attending a different undergrad school and those issues. Also this program is at a private school so I would have to pay more, compared to a public pharmacy school. Although I am receiving some scholarships and aid for undergrad, and I would have to pay out of pocket, and money is one of my factors to consider.
Please let me know what you think, the deadline deposit is due on the 15th (tomorrow).

Choosing between UNC Chapel Hill and Rutgers North Brunswick for pharmD as a high school senior (come out with pharmacy doctorate in 6 years). Please help me decide. Commitment deadline is VERY soon.
UNC: #1 for pharmacy, 60k estimate/yr (more accurate pricing would be $45-50k with budgeting, parents would only pay up to 35k), 6 year pharmD Early Assurance Program, Carolina Global Launch (semester study abroad with $1,000 scholarship). UNC has much more flexible AP credit waivers (if I remember correctly, there may be a 75 credit hour cap?). Non-North Carolina resident & out of state. Heard that there is little mental health advising for students. Not as big of an east asian enrollment. Heard that premed is cut throat; if academics are harder, may not have as much time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Would need to do work-study.
RU: #20 for pharmacy, 25k estimate/yr (parents would pay for all room/board/full cost of attendance), 6 year pharmD program, Rutgers Honors College, No study abroad allowed for pharmacy (after discussing with dean, only possibility is Douglass Global Village for a week during spring break). Rutgers only allows 8 AP credits waived (essentially an AP bio lecture/lab). NJ resident & in state (close family, although not extremely important). Felt very overwhelmed at Rutgers. Larger east asian enrollment. Also heard that pharmD is difficult, but would not need to do work study and could have more time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Am also currently in the process of interviewing for local pharm tech positions.
I am interested in going into industry or potentially clinical but definitely not retail pharmacy. Would love to get a fellowship, do research, or get an externship at a pharmaceutical company. May be interested in med afterwards but not very likely and set on chemistry/drug development/pharm for undergrad/first degree. Rutgers is also in a great place for pharmaceutical companies and I know Rutgers promotes it's Johnson & Johnson's affiliated opportunities a lot. However, UNC has the research triangle too. Finances and student debt is my main inhibiting factor; I would need to take out approx 20-25k/yr in private student loans if I attend UNC. It has more prestige, better placement into industry (according to my brief research, I could be wrong), is a research heavy school, I love the school culture, people are also generally much nicer in UNC. Personally hate how spread out the RU campus is but not a huge factor in my decision. If money was not an issue, I would choose UNC.
Can I get some input from current/former students that have experience at either school or experience with student debt? Is it worth it?

As of April of this year, I have completed my second year of studies in my major, and have gotten my grades back for the Winter semester. All I can say is, I'm utterly disappointed.
By far, my GPA is a 3.3/4.0. A lot of people would say that this is a decent average, but I disagree. My GPA coming out of first year was the same, so my grades haven't even improved, despite having another year to achieve that.
I came into second year with the intention of getting straight A's in all of my courses. As someone who is not in STEM (I'm in a social science major), this seemed pretty doable to me. But it didn't end up turning out the way I wanted it to. First off, I didn't get the best professors this year (I didn't give enough care towards the quality or reputation of the prof, just chose classes that would give a comfortable schedule), so I had a more difficult slate to begin with. Despite that, I chose to go along with it and make the best of it that I could. I tried to see it in a positive light, as in "challenging profs would allow me to learn more and grow as a person".
Right from the get go I implemented new study techniques that I hoped would help me excel in my classes (making question sheets/flashcards, taking thorough notes from the textbook). Turns out, it only helped somewhat. In some classes, I ended getting straight A's throughout. However, I had a bunch of other classes in which I only got B's (and even one C) as a final grade. Some of the classes were genuinely difficult (thanks to tough graders), while some I feel like I didn't put in the proper effort despite going in with the goal of doing so.
This is what truly hurts me. Not the part where I had hard profs, but the fact that a lot of this was within my control and that I still fumbled the bag for quite a bit. At the very least I can say that I put in more effort than last year, but in brutal honestly, I still fucked around for a bit. I have ADHD, and I STILL haven't fully gotten it under control. I had a damn year to do it and I still failed to tame it. It was as if I knew what to do (I watched as many "How to get 4.0 GPA type videos on YouTube), but my brain (still MY fault) didn't act on it properly. I would study hard for concepts that I could understand, but would still give up when things got hard. This manifested itself in the form of missed deadlines (for tasks I simply couldn't get), doing things last minute, and on multiple choice tests, doing poorly on the questions that I refused to study because I felt it "wasn't relevant" or because I got too lazy to go the extra mile. I made schedules, but didn't stick to them completely because I allowed myself to get distracted too easily with other stuff that didn't matter as much.
I valued studying and academics, but a part of me still valued having fun and a social life more. On the positive side, this drove me to get involved in more deeply in extracurriculars, which led me to build a huge group of supportive friends and the expansion of my network, which ultimately led me to obtain two pretty dope executive positions at some large student clubs and win second place in a case competition. This helped a lot in gaining experience on my resume, which allowed me to land the internship I'm doing this summer. On the other hand, I began to prioritize hanging out with friends and relaxing, which led to a lot of wasted time that I could have used to sharpen my knowledge of the subject matter I was supposed to learn in class. I partied more, which led to more hangovers and even more lost time. I made some really great memories along the way, but I was also still "all-over-the-place" and wasn't completely on top of my stuff.
Now, I feel like I have limited my post-graduate chances. I have ambitions to do either an MBA, go to law school, or simply do a masters in my major and go into research/academia from there. I very badly want to do all three at prestigious schools (U of T, McGill), or even the Ivy Leagues or Oxbridge. However, I don't think my chances of getting into Harvard Law or into an MA program at McGill will be too high after they see my average. I do have some pretty strong ECs as of now (which I am extremely grateful for) and am looking to begin with research in my third year, but my GPA so far just doesn't cut it.
I know that I'm still in my second year, and that I have a chance to still turn things around and raise my GPA to something much more competitive by the time I graduate, but the dream of being that "perfect 4.0 student" is impossible now. It hurts so deeply considering that I was one of the top (academically) students in my high school (3.8-3.9 GPA), getting honour roll all 4 years and earning a dope entrance scholarship. I feel like I wasted all of that, and that I'm continuing to waste my potential by failing to tame my bad habits.
So for my next two years, I'm promising myself that I'll be that top student I always wanted to be. I'm still gonna aim for that 4.0 every semester onward, or at least dean's list throughout the rest of my uni career. I want to fight for that high average and discipline, but I fear that I'll be doomed to repeat the same bs I did this year, considering that I spent two years being a mediocre student. I don't want to do that again, I want to actually EXCEL and react my FULL POTENTIAL. I fully regret giving in to laziness, I condemn myself for prioritizing partying over studying, I regret not asking for help when I needed it the most, and I regret any other imprudent decision I have made during this year.
I genuinely want to do better this time. I want that 4.0 desperately. Rant over.

Hi, I’m from nyc and I got into hunters nursing scholars program and UVA BSN program (both are direct admission). I’m stuck choosing which school to go to. If I go to Hunter college I will get money back. If I go to UVA I won’t need to pay much since I got a good scholarship that covers a lot of the cost. Both programs are good but I’m not sure which one to choose. (I’m planning to work in ny after undergrad.) I need to make a decision by the deadline which is tomorrow :)

CCNY or City tech or NYIT
I’ve been accepted into all. CCNY and City tech for mechanical engineering (might switch to electrical) and NYIT for electrical and computer engineering technologies. After aid I should be looking at going to both CUNY’s for really cheap if not free and going to NYIT with $9500 tuition per year. I have to make a decision tomorrow since the deposit deadline for NYIT is May 15th. I’m still debating whether or not NYIT is worth it. I heard it has really good internships and programs but I don’t know if I’m really willing to pay that much. My parents are telling me to go but I don’t want to put them in 40k debt. At first I was planning on going to cuny and transferring into NYIT with better scholarships but I noticed that Transfers get a max scholarship that is less than mine which would result in me paying more than I would be now. I’m also hearing lots of mixed opinions on CCNY and city tech. I heard that CCNY has good engineering programs but shitty teachers that make you graduate late. I also heard that city tech has worse programs but more hands on work, which is what I’m interested in. Honestly worst case scenario here is that I go to NYIT, Pay $9500, decide i don’t like it, and then go to cuny. Which is bad but at the same time I guess it’s not terrible. Either way I’m pretty sure I’m just boned.
Edit: Are there any additional grants or need based aid that I can apply for if I go to nyit?

I know the decision ay sa akin pa rin manggagaling of course pero I’m posting this one to have your insights and opinions po, you can be brutally honest because my future will depend on this one haha.
May 16 ang deadline ng confirmation fee and pagpasa ng documents sa UST, to have a quick background I passed electronics engineering and I am a financially unstable hahaha. Binigyan ako ng mama ko pambayad sa confirmation fee (10k) and of course pamasahe na rin and pangkain and she told me na ako na raw bahala mag decide kung i coconfirm ko or what. Kasi iniisip namin na what if makapasa ako sa mga scholarship na inapplyan ko sayang daw yung opportunity ganito ganyan kaya she gave me the money to decide. I coconfirm lang namin pero I still need scholarship para makapag aral kasi we’re financially unstable.
Is UST college of Engineering worth it po ba? (specifically electronics engineering). About sa Scholarship is there a scholarship po ba na pwede kong ipilit na makuha? (hahaha literal na ipilit just to study there) cause I’ve heard of yung San Lorenzo Ruiz scholarship. Kaya ba maging working student sa UST or do you guys know some jobs I could do as an SHS graduate?
What do you guys think? should I take the risk or not? I only have this day to decide huhu. Thank you so much :))

I just failed a year of college and I feel like such a failure. I’m so burnt out and I feel like I have the worst luck possible. I used to be an honor student in high school, but after starting college, I’ve struggled so hard.
I failed my first semester of college, bounced back, and now I’ve thrown away an entire year. I’m not worried about repeating a year or having to graduate later because I get that graduating on time isn’t a necessity. But I know my parents will give me shit for it and will try to force me into marrying someone or dropping out since I can’t do well in school. (They’ve threatened me with this before)
I know it’s not entirely my fault since a lot happened to me this year (got cheated on, sexually harassed, etc) and I was forced to take on the responsibility of being a primary caretaker of my sisters’ infant children due to her going through a messy divorce and her deadbeat husband. I had no time to study and trying to stay on campus after classes was a big no as my dad would yell at me or suspect I was doing something not good.
I’ve lost my scholarship for good since I tried withdrawing from my failing courses, but found out that the deadline passed a week ago. So now I can’t appeal. My GPA is in the gutter and my transcript sucks. Idk what to do anymore.

I’ve been accepted into both. CCNY and City tech for mechanical engineering (might switch to electrical) and NYIT for electrical and computer engineering technologies.

I’m currently a high school senior and the deadline to make a decision on what school I’m going to enroll in is coming very soon. I have been praying and trying to talk to God very much in these last few months hoping he would show me what path to take as I have two options and I’m not sure which to pick. I have missed out on a few big scholarships and my mom keeps telling me that is God trying to tell me to go to the college that I would commute to (as opposed to the one I would have to dorm at which is a few thousand more a year).
I honestly don’t know how to interpret her words (or any signs I may have received that I just don’t realize) and I’m scared I’m going to make the wrong decision. If it makes any difference I also got a fortune cookies that said “Do what you can with what you have, where you are”, “Don’t let your limitations keep you from reaching your potential” and “You have the determination to reach your goals and aspirations.” I’m not sure how much I believe in these but they are scarily accurate (albeit a little contradicting). What do you guys think?
Please any advice would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Has anyone whose deadline for the UCD Excellence Scholarship was March 31 applied and gotten a response? Its been 6 weeks now and not a beep from my side. Who else from the other regions has applied for it?

Hey everyone! I applied for Bsc in Cyber Security for Sep 2024 intake and got the conditional offer letters a few weeks ago. Since I am an international student, it would not be possible to study here at such a high cost and hence I applied for this scholarship program before the set deadline.
I have not set any priority or insurance choice yet in my UCAS application because I can only study here if I get at least 50% scholarship otherwise I will have to look for other universities.
Now that I have not made a choice yet in my UCAS application, will this have any effect on my scholarship decision? And will I be notified of the scholarship decision before 6th June? (UCAS deadline for choosing a university)

A couple of my friends got their scholarships on friday and saturday, but I haven't recieved anything yet. For reference, I got 86 on the euclid and 48 on the csmc so I'm a bit confused why I didn't get anything yet.
Is waterloo still sending out scholarships?
And is there a deadline for when they must all be sent out?

Hi guys,
I need some help, please; 2 out of the 4 Podiatry schools I applied to said that they would reconsider their scholarship offer (and try to increase it) if another school offers more. The thing is, I already submitted my intent for one of them because the deadline was approaching (and this was my top choice), and I received another offer from a different school after that which was higher. So my question is, how do I go about asking them professionally to reconsider their scholarship offer? Do I email or text? How can I word it? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I just got off the waitlist at UVA :)) I feel so incredibly lucky. I want to go, but I think I’ll be paying full price. I do not have any other scholarships to negotiate with.
I applied at deadline to Duke, UVA, Berkeley, UChicago, and was not accepted.
I guess my other option is to reapply later, but I have just been stuck in such a rut in my life and this feels like a ticket out. People seem to really love their time at UVA.
The other issue is that I don’t want corporate law. I am thinking either civil rights or criminal defense. Maybe I could explain that to the FA office?
Any advice appreciated!

I was doing some research and found out that WFU has a Nov15 deadline scholarship with full ride. But, I have heard that these scholarships like in any other school are biased towards US National (obviously and i'm not complaining), but, I wanted to know if you know any international student who have received it?
My Stats:
GPA: 4.0/4.0
SAT: 1530
Honors: National Oly Gold, and rank 7 in 2 different olympiads. National Hackathon winner. Merit list
ECs: Leaderships (3-4) over 4 years. 1 research. some community service. MUN stuffs. Jobs etc...

Alumni here. My sister missed the scholarship applications deadline, so I'm thinking if it's better for her to take a gap year and just apply for scholarship when the next school year admission starts.
Might be a dumb question, but I genuinely don't know. Will she still be eligible for incoming freshmen scholarships if she took a gap year after SHS? She's from a different school btw. Hope someone here knows 😭
