Can you log into PharmCAS?

[mjmjoa]

Trying to log in but I can't... chose forgot password and put my email and it says my email isn't associated with any account. Is this just a glitch or something?

OMG THANK GOD SOMEONE IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE

 

[MyRealNameIs]

weird I had no trouble logging in about an hour ago.

Did you create a PharmCas ID in advance?
Because the application for this cycle just opened 7/15/15.
Your old account would've been deleted if you didn't send your application to any school before.

So if you made a new account before 7/15/15, that account would be deleted since it was for last cycle and you didn't actually apply to a pharmacy school.

If you actually applied to a pharmacy school last cycle, then you can reactivate your account. But until you do, you can't log in.

Really? So I have to make a new account and re-do everything? :|

I never applied but I am working on completing my application to apply..

Yes. I did the same thing haha. Good thing I got lazy and only filled out like 20 percent of it.
I read through their FAQ and found out.
I don't know why Pharmcas allows you to create an application if they are just going to delete it in May. It is not like any schools are accepting anymore.

But question, won't that change my pharmcas ID or something? I already applied to take the PCAT in september and I'm pretty sure I linked my pharmcas account to it. Won't that cause a problem in sending my PCAT score to my pharmcas account if I need to make a new one?

And do I need to re-send my transcript??

 

[MyRealNameIs]

You might have to resend your transcript. I am not sure about that one since I didn't send my transcript yet. You will have to ask them directly.

I know you can simply relink your PCAT CID with your new Pharmcas ID. No problem with the PCAT.

Do I do that through my Pearson account or PharmCAS? Just put in my new ID or something?

I can't believe I have to re-send my transcript :| I can't be the only person that hasn't sent their application yet? It's still July for godsakes.

Just reenter the ID in your PharmCAS account. The ID should be on your Pearson account. Pharmcas will pull that information from Pearson and link it to your account.

The reason your account (and mine 😀) got deleted was because you signed up for the 2014-15 cycle when you made an account in May or whatever. For this cycle, 2015-16, the app just opened in July 15. They don't make that clear when you sign up.
I don't get why Pharmcas even lets people sign up for an account in May since it will just get autodeleted since it is too late to apply for that cycle anyway.

I had same problem. Sent my transcripts early June. I was trying to called/emailed them to ask if the old one can be used since I know they received and posted it on my last application. Waited on the call for 1 hr and finally gave up. I'm on the West coast and I worked all day so don't really have time calling them. I'll try again Monday morning. Otherwise I will resend it which I don't looking forward to since I have 3 different schools transcripts to do.

Do you mean same ID for both Pearson and Pharmcas in order for them to be linked?

So, make a new PharmCAS account, get a new ID, go to my pearson account, and change the ID thats there to my new ID?

And re-send the transcript also? I don't recall having to put any ID on the transcript or anything, so I'm not sure.

And I agree, this is really dumb, especially since many people just took the PCAT.

I used the same ID as the Pearson one when recreate account so I hope it should link together. I'm guessing they could also match your name with your application, otherwise not really sure how they know your PCAT score is yours to link.

The transcript request form has your Pharmcas ID only so they can match it to your application. But I don't know how they can match your PCAT score to your Pharmcas application though. I'm gonna ask this question when making the call about transcript resend also.

Oh so you can choose your own ID when making a PharmCAS account?

Please let me know what you come up with. I remember one time emailing them a question and they didn't respond for like 2 weeks.

Called them this morning, the call never went though :/ I went ahead and ordered new transcripts already..

I tried calling as well.. it just keeps ringing for a minute then a message comes up saying they are experiencing high call volume (seriously doubt that) and to call back later. I guess I will do the same: make another account, send the transcripts again, and not sure what I'm doing with the PCAT situation yet. A big time waster. :/
