I would assume (or at least hope) that since they do not require the PCAT, they do not count that as a factor when deciding upon acceptances!

yeah, i thought that at least most of the california schools did not look at test scores even if you sent them in...

Well I have to take the PCAT anyway because I'm applying to Midwestern in AZ. So USC accepts them but doesn't require them?? Which other schools are like this?
Can not doing well on the PCATs hurt me if a school doesnt' require them? Say I apply to USC but my PCAT scores aren't that great.. will they count that against me, and favor someone who didn't take them at all?
