It opens June 1. I plan on applying for this cycle as well. I'm not sure when the 2013 statistics come out.
 
It opened in the morning today;
by far the longest process is entering each individual course and each individual semester......
 
Question for all of you filling out the pharmcas:

Are you including job shadow experiences in extracurricular activities? Is that acceptable? Or are you just discussing experiences in your personal statement?

I do not have a ton of healthcare experience but have done a significant amount of shadowing different pharmacists, so I want that to be known in my application.

Im putting it both in my personal statement and in the pharmcas application. I have my volunteering experience under extracurricular and pharmacy related job under work experience. They are two different things.

But I technically don't have a pharmacy related job, just observational hours...

I listed my shadow hours under extracurricular and in the first line of description stated "shadowed for x hours" with further detail of which kind of pharmacies I shadowed - I shadowed multiple pharmacies in one hospital in one day.

I ended up not mentioning this in my personal statement because I was able to work and volunteer at two different pharmacies. But if you don't have any pharm related work experience I would also mention your shadow experience in your essay and state what you learned.

Hope this helps 🙂
 
You list under references both the names and the e-mail addresses of whom you want PharmCAS to send an e-mail to. They will receive an e-mail and will write the LOR and fill out a survey about you,
 
When do pharmacy schools stop taking "classes in progress" into account? Do they consider summer/fall before they accept?
