Is it still early to submit my application in mid August

Honestly I am a bit behind. Writing my personal statement is harder than I thought, I am struggling with it and feel like I need some help. Is it still early if I apply mid August? I was hoping to have it submitted this week, but I am too busy with work. How early is early anyways? I have almost 300 units of school work, it might sound crazy but it's true, and I am wondering if it is going to take too long for PharmCAS to calculate my GPA for all the classes I took.

August is still considered early. Many kids take the September or even January PCAT, so by the time the scores are sent in, it's no longer early in the application cycle.

The earlier you apply the better. You have a better chance of getting an interview when there are 300 seats available rather then 10. I plan on applying right after I take my PCAT in September. Admissions office dont even begin to look at applications until October.

I think I should be done with the application next week. It's good to know I am still early, because I was stressed for time.

Phew! Me too. Everybody was saying apply in June! But I'm still in the process of editing my PS. I wanted to submit in July but procrastinated on the personal statement x___x
