Personal Statement:
Growing up with a family strongly affiliated in the medical profession, I find myself also leaning toward the field, particularly pharmacy. Throughout my academic career, I have always found myself excelling in the science curriculum, so in the future I want to incorporate science into my life and make that the foundation of my career. Also, I want to be in a school that gives back to the community. Learning the importance of community service and serving the society that has given me so much is a major part of the career choice I want to pursue. As a pharmacist, I get to work directly with the community and incorporate these values as well as help people deal with their number one priority, their health. Not only do today’s pharmacists count pills, but new laws have been passed across the United States that enables pharmacists to perform check-ups on patients’ blood pressure and give patients vaccinations for some illnesses. In view of my commitment to a diverse population, I hope to use the academic programs to combine my leadership abilities with the social opportunities that will enhance my college experience. I know St. John’s will provide me with the challenges I seek to grow into a well rounded young adult.
So what do you guys think? Do you think I should wait for St. John’s or should I enroll into MCPHS Boston Pharmacy program?
Another thing–I used the SuperMatch feature (on CollegeConfidential) — where I compared my results — and it said I have a high 97-98% chance of getting into St. John’s PharmD program but I don’t know if this feature is accurate or precise. So yeah, what do you guys think, what are my chances of getting into St. John’s University Queens Pharmacy?
