Applying after August PCAT?

[optimistic01]

Members don't see this ad.

So I'm taking the August 23rd PCAT. From what I've read it takes about 4-6 weeks for scores to be sent out. I have already e-submitted pharmCAS for non-PCAT schools, however if I do well, I'd want to apply to PCAT schools. Would this be considered late in the application cycle...is it recommended?

I just dont want to pay for all the PCAT participating schools on pharmCAS if I don't score well on the test...
Any advice guys? What should I do?

there are people that only just recently found out they got accepted. You have a chance at getting accepted until all the seats are filled, up to june/july/august. sometimes people get accepted into multiple schools and so seats open up. look at the roll call thread. you can see when people got accepted. Early is best, but sometimes later works too

For most schools, you would still be way ahead of most of their applicants.

this doesnt really relate to this post but it is still about the aug 23rd PCAT. anyways, i have heard from a lot of ppl who have already taken the PCAT that usually the percent of questions correct is on avg 10 percent less than the percentile (ony applies for 40%-80%)? is that an accurate statement?
