Hi! So I was wondering if its possible for me to apply to my top choices of pharmacy schools super early first (in July), then if I get rejected later on add more schools in late August/September? Is that a good idea or even possible to add more schools later on?

Yes, you'll be able to add schools later. This is from the PharmCAS website:

"You may apply to additional pharmacy programs after submission of your PharmCAS application. To apply to additional programs, log onto your PharmCAS application and designate additional schools. Do NOT create a new PharmCAS application to add new designations. PharmCAS must receive the appropriate fee for each additional pharmacy program you select. You cannot apply to a particular school after the application deadline date has passed."

Hope that helps!

Yep just go to program designations and add a school, pay the fee, and you're all set. Just did it to today.

Just be aware there are schools that would have taken you if you had applied early, but would reject you had you applied later in the cycle.

When would be considered late in the cycle? I am thinking of applying to some schools in July and then later on maybe in September/October for the rest?

It depends partially on the strength of your profile, but generally late is applying by January.

Is it true about applying later? when i asked schools they said that applying later doesn't affect chances that much.

I read online that it depends on the type of admissions. It its rolling it affects it, if its not rolling then it does not matter.
