Add $40.00 for each additional school

In addition to that, you also have to pay supplemental application fees.

You have two application phases during your application to pharmacy school: the primary application (a.k.a. PharmCAS application) and a separate secondary/supplemental application from each of the schools you apply to during a admissions cycle. Both phases require that you pay a fee. Look at the page on this LINK for the fees that are based on the number of schools you designate on your PharmCAS application. In addition to your PharmCAS application, most schools will request a secondary application with another fee attached. These fees can range from $0 (Drake I think?) to $30 to about $100!

So, you pay a lot of money if you apply to multiple schools. Most of us do, however, to ensure that we have the best chances for getting into a school somewhere. Having to wait another year before getting into a school sucks.🙂
