I'm a high school senior, and decided I want to apply for pharm school. I know that at University of Illinois at Chicago you take 2 years of pre-pharm, then after that only a slim amount of people are accepted. At other places like Butler or Drake, once you are accepted into the pre-pharm program, you continue into the PharmD program as long as you keep up a certain average.
Well my question is how likely is it I will be accepted into UIC's pharmD program? I received a 30 on my ACT, I'm taking AP CHEM and CALC (which will be a struggle for me), and have about a 3.5 GPA. Honestly, I'm not super intelligent or extra special, so I'm worried that I'll be wasting my time at UIC, but I reallly want to go there. Can anyone give me some advice or an educated guess as to if I will be able to make it into the program?

Unless you are applying for UIC GPPA Pharmacy, they won't care about your high school record. In my class, 60% of students have a bachelors, and that percentage is rising. I can't discuss your chances because you're not in college. If you have both, in the top 15% of your high school class and have an ACT score greater than 28, then you can apply to the GPPA program. It will guarantee you acceptance.
However, if you are still worried, local 6 year schools are Butler, Drake, St Louis COP, and Ohio Northern.
