you want to apply for next Fall semester (2014-2015)?Cause if you haven't started, then you a LIL bit late. I mean, i think deadlines for most schools are almost over.
I dont think you can apply to the 2013-2014 cycle cause those people are already in the 1st year of pharmacy school, So I think you mean the 2015-2016 cycle? :O

Application for the 2014-2015 cycle doesn't open until beginning of June 2014. The one you opened is for 2013 - 2014 (this cycle). So you still have awhile before the application cycle you want starts. For now, look for potential people to write your letter of recs and prepare your personal statement or prepare for the PCAT if you haven't taken it already.

Lol yeah I think so. I assumed "cycle" refers to the time the application is open

Get started ASAP. Sending in your PCAT, transcripts, rec letters, etc. I started in June and didn't send until October. It did take me sometime to make sure everything was "perfect". Especially the personal statement.
