All transcripts needed?

Ok...so I'm getting ready to submit my PharmCAS.

Only problem is that I started attending two new schools this fall. I won't even have grades with these schools until december. Is it still necessary to send in transcripts(with nothing on it) from these schools to PharmCAS. Could this hold up my gpa calculation because they don't have all my transcripts?

Interesting dilemma. In AMCAS (med students) this isn't a problem, you clicked no previous coursework. In PharmCAS, I believe you must submit it so they can see it's in progress.

Send them in during academic update. I forgot exactly when it starts, but sometime in December-January. That's so you can update your fall grades. Make sure to list anything you are taking this semester as "In Progress."

I don't think that's the issue. For PharmCAS to be considered complete, all transcripts from all schools need to be received. Even if the grades are absent, a transcript may be sent. Try calling PharmCAS. If everything else is in, then they may be able to put a note on your app to continue the GPA calculation.

Keep in mind, this includes any Dual Enrollment you may have done while still in high school. Last year, my transcript was delayed because I didn't realize the credits presented on my UF transcript did not count towards the courses, and I had to go through the ordeal of requesting a transcript from the local community college I DE'ed at... five hours away.

So... if you have Dual Enrollment credits, put them on the list, and get in touch with that school as soon as possible.

This is correct. Put your current classes as "In Progress" under the correct college name and have a transcripts from all colleges you are attending this fall sent at the end of fall semester. Then you will be able to enter those grades during the academic update. PharmCAS will email you to tell you when that is available. Doing this will not hold up the processing of your application, as long as original official transcripts from all "Completed" classes have been sent to PharmCAS.
