On my UC transcript, there is a list of transfer courses from community colleges. Do I have to input those grades under my UC too even if I already inputted them under the community colleges?

I realized that my application was sent out July 27th but all my references were not completed until July 30th. Does this mean that the schools do not have my references? If not, when will they actually receive my references since they are all complete now? Thank you for the help.
for the descriptions that we write for our volunteer or work experience...is it necessary to write complete sentences? or can we abbreviate...and like skip the spaces between sentences?
i want to fully describe my experiences..but this text limit is killing me!
So now the mailing date all of a sudden changed to today 08/02/11 from the previous date of 7/28. That's weird, I guess the first time it said mailed it really didn't mean it.Has anyone else checked their app on pharmcas? Mine says "mailed"

Really?
My application is completed (Transcripts, LORs are received and GPA has been calculated) but, my status still says "not mailed". I thought pharmcas was going to mail it yesterday but did not. They did not do it today either. Anyone else having the same problem?
PharmCAS only sends them out once a week. In the past, it has generally been on Mondays.
Searched for this, couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated:
My school gave me credit for some AP scores, but it is just credit for the sake of credit and is not in substitute of any course. What do I put under title? On the transcript it does have the name of the AP class (ENG LANG/COMP) but would I put that?
I ask that because for other ones where it does give credit and substitutes for a class, they also have the class name (i.e. CALCULUS AB/SCR 5 P 4.00 MATH140 ) with math140 of course being the class it replaces (so for that I put the course name as the name of math140 (Calculus I).
I go to the University of Maryland if that helps anyone (if you go there and have done this already ).
Thanks for reading.
So even for calc I should put CALCULUS AB/SCR instead of the class I got credit for (Calculus I)? For class prefix I still put math140 though right?In both case, you should just enter exactly what the transcript indicates. Be sure to also check the AP credit policy for schools you're applying to.

Thanks for the help by the way
It has been 17 days since my school mailed out my transcript (from CA) to pharmcas. They still haven't received it. Did it take anyone else this long to send their transcripts? I think I am going to resend another one soon.
I have E submitted my application and have all my LOR in. The only thing left is I Have my transcripts being sent in. Will Pharmcas send my application while my transcripts are still being sent? I sent my transcripts in a couple of days ago and they have not yet received it. Thanks
Definitely not. Your application is still not complete if they haven't received the transcripts. Once they receive the transcripts, they will verify it against your entries to ensure accuracy before mailing it.
So the only thing left for them to send it is receiving my transcripts and comparing it to my entries?
I did some volunteer work at the hospital and I entered under the "work experience" on the application but it only tells you how many hours of week I volunteered. Does volunteering go under work experience? And also it doesn't say anything about showing proof of it, so how do I provide proof of volunteering???

Volunteering is not "work experience". I seem to recall a whole section just for volunteering.
You do not submit proof of volunteering, it is the honor system.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Enter any paid or volunteer work experience. List experiences in order of importance to you. List each activity only once. Do not repeat any activities listed in the previous section.
I stand corrected. I would not list it as work experience.
Hey guys, I am new to this forum and am in the process of putting the final touches on my pharmCAS application. I know there has been a ton of questions on AP credit and I've tried searching every pertinent discussion to see if anyone else had the same problem as me but haven't found anything. On my unofficial transcript, I can't see the invdividual AP courses that I took. All that shows is total transfer credit (I've attached a picture). I know we are supposed to exactly replicate our transcript so I e-mailed pharmCAS asking for their advice. They told me to call in the school and report individual AP credit so it can show up on my transcript but I've already submitted it to pharmCAS (and they've received it). There is a total of 28 transfer units. I tried inputting them all at once, but the credit number won't even go that high plus I wouldn't even know what to put for the course title. Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Hello everyone!
I have a question about the PharmCAS personal statement. I know it asks us to talk about MANY different things-- our background, why we chose pharmacy as a career, our goals, etc. Does anyone have advice as to how much space we should allocate for each question? For example, would it be a bad idea to talk mostly about your past, and then mention briefly how it will affect your future goals?
"Your Personal Essay should address why you selected pharmacy as a career and how the Doctor of Pharmacy degree relates to your immediate and long-term professional goals. Describe how your personal, educational, and professional background will help you achieve your goals."
You can certainly try asking your school but I doubt that they'll change the way AP credits are reported on the transcript.
The picture only shows the summation. Are there any line items on the transcript that suggests those 28 units are from AP? If so, you can just add two courses as 14 units each with course name "Advanced Placement," course prefix "AP", CR for grade, none for score, and "Advanced Placement" for classification.
If you are using any of these AP credits to fulfill prerequisites, you'll need to check with the schools individually to find out the policies and procedures.
2. for student registration status, do I put freshman if it's my 1st year, sophmore if it's my 2nd year in college and so on? Or do I have to go by specific units (0-45 is freshman, etc.) since I got AP credit so it's a bit confusing?
If I go by # of units then I would've started school as a "sophmore"
So now the mailing date all of a sudden changed to today 08/02/11 from the previous date of 7/28. That's weird, I guess the first time it said mailed it really didn't mean it.
For the pharmCAS application, I need a letter of reference from a pharmacist but I don't know any. Do you know what questions they ask on the electronic reference form? Do they ask how long they have known me?
Then how can I show pharmacy schools that I have some pharmacy experience?
Also I haven't submitted my application yet, so it's ok to just send them my transcript anyways just so they have it, right?
xNeenax said:It says on the application once submitted no changes can be done so that means I have to wait until all recommendation letters are in, right?
xNeenax said:Also, I'm taking the PCAT in September (for the first time), will they give you the PCAT code on that day or do I have to wait until I get my score report? When do the score reports usually come in?
Does PharmCAS wait for ALL letters of recommendations in order to process our applications ????
Uh, isn't volunteering "pharmacy experience?" You don't have to get paid to get experience...
Your PCAT CID is actually on the first page after you log into Pearson's PCAT portion of the website, in the upper right corner of the info box (which is sort of in the middle of the page). You are assigned this as soon as you register for the test. Input it into PharmCAS before you take your test (so you don't forget later).
Score reports come out about 5 weeks after the test. I believe I read scores are mailed to the institutions you indicated within 2 weeks after the score report. More information available in Pearson's instruction booklet about the PCAT. By the way, make sure you put PharmCAS on your PCAT registration to receive your scores.
