[superconduct]

Members don't see this ad.

I am going to take the August PCAT to improve over my previous score. I already submitted my application the PhamCAS and some supplemental application to the schools. Will the schools wait for my August PCAT to decide or they going to process with my old PCAT score. The dealine for the schools are in November, December and January.

thanks

I put the old PCAT date (as taken) and one in August (as planned).

i don't think anyone here can answer that question unless they were in an admission committee or asked one (even then it will only pertain to a certain school). What you can do is apply now for all the rolling admission schools and the other ones later once you get your new PCAT scores.

so it was a mistake on my part to apply the supplemental application too early? i should wait till late september when the august PCAT score out and then apply?

thanks

Since you put in both exam dates, i think pharmCAS will send to schools your score once you've taken the exam in August and the score is ready.
It's just like your new transcript. Pharmcas sends all school your current transcript and once you send them an updated one, it will be sent as well.
Hope that helps. I think you'll be fine. If you're still confused I would call pharmCAS and ask them.
