Raymond Said:

what percentage of people that apply to Clark Atlanta University actually get accepted?

We Answered:

Their acceptance rate is 60%, but your GPA is way above their average, so you shouldn't have any problem getting accepted. Two factors to consider -- they don't offer much financial aid (if you need that) and their student population is 30% male and 70% female.

Which is a better pharmacy school in Georgia? Mercer University(Atlanta) or the University of Georgia?

We Answered:

I'm a pharmacist and a pharmacy instructor. I get a lot of questions that I've begun writing about at my website which you'll find at the bottom. So you can always check back there but the short answer to your question is this:

Most students get it wrong when it comes to choosing a pharmacy school.

By that I mean they focus to much on pharmacy school rankings. Almost every 'rankings' score I've seen is biased to one extent or another. You should base your decision on what is best for you and what will give you the best return on your investment.

So, just because something is the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best. Ask around to other pharmacists but also keep in mind that they will likely have a bit of a tainted view because of personal bias.

The main point is as long as a pharmacy school is accredited then you are good to go. From there you base it on more personal factors. You can find a much longer discussion on my pharmacy school rankings page below.

Does anyone know how hard it is to get into Clark Atlanta University?

We Answered:

I am an alumnus of CAU. It's not going to be extremely hard to get into CAU (not to mistaken for easy because by no means is it easy). If you seem like the average high school student with some extra curricular activities and a half descent SAT or ACT score, you should be ok. I would aim for a B- (2.66 and above) average and a score in the 960-1050 SAT and 18-22 ACT score range. With that range, I got into CAU, Hampton University, Johnson C. Smith University and Florida A&M University (the only schools I applied to).

Do not wait until the last minute to apply to any school. Right now is a great time to collect the applications and know their requirements and which essays you will have to write. The best way to know when to send off the application is to check the cut off date. I would send them off around Thanksgiving and at the latest Christmas so that the second half of your senior year is dedicated to waiting for the letters to roll in instead of stressing over deadlines.

You're going to have at least 2 issues with any HBCU's financial aid office (including CAU)- slow and unorganized. Whatever you do, fill out whatever you need early. And if you're having any complications, visit and call often. Make sure they know who you are from 20 paces. But I have to stress that these people are under a lot of pressure and it's best if you're nice but firm with them. They are cursed out almost every semester by students and parents alike. Just go in with an open mind.

The most important thing you need to be worried about is if the school is going to nurture your major interest. I fell in love with North Carolina A&T but their Journalism department was a wing of their English department when I visited WAY back in '99. Plus, the school's major focus is toward science and technology. At CAU, their Mass Media Arts department is always one of the top three majors at the University. CAU's interest was my interest and that's why I chose CAU. It's probably the best decision I ever made. That should be your main concern. Everything else will fall into place.

Go Panthers!

Fernando Said:

Is Clark Atlanta University a good school to go to if you want to major in pharmacy?

We Answered:

The best HBCU for pharmacy is FAMU (Florida A&M University). It is also one of the top schools in the graduation of black students.

-The person below me is wrong. FAMU doesn't have the best pharmacy school in the world, but as for HBCUs they are know as the best and they are accredited. The best thing for you to do is make a list of schools your interested in and research each school.
