I just noticed a small typo in my coursework. Will Pharmcas fix this for me? Or should I contact them to have it undelivered so I can fix it?
 
I believe they fix minor issues in your coursework section, but if there's too many they'll send it back and pretty much tell you to fix it.

I am applying to schools with 11/2 deadlines and I am officially freaking out. I submitted PharmCAS on 10/23, but I am not second guessing my entered Coursework. On my transcript, my AP credits were only listed as Advanced Placement without listing the actual subjects. I didn't list them on my coursework because I read on the PharmCAS facebook page not to add them if that was the case. However, as the deadline approaches, I am really afraid that all of my work will be for nothing if I ended up being wrong. I tried to contact PharmCAS and this is how they responded:

"Your application is currently being verified (and the GPA is being calculated.) If we need you to enter in those Advanced Placement Credits, we will contact you."

Ahhh are they going to send it back to me to fix so that I'll miss the deadlines?! I'm going crazy! Can someone put my worries to rest?
 
They do edit it and verify it against your transcripts so I would think so. However, a single typo is of trivial importance, and I doubt the admissions committee that will review your application is going to stop their meeting of reviewing hundreds of applications just to chuckle at your inconvenience. Don't sweat it, honestly I find the interview process much more important. The application gets you the interview, but the interview gets you admitted (as well as the application, but if they don't like you, they won't take you).

Edit: Also, as long as it is submitted by the deadline, you're just fine. I believe you have already submitted it, and having to edit the process doesn't mean that your PharmCAS hasn't been submitted. Same with letters of recommendation--your professors or whoever just gets those in when they can and PharmCAS enters them as they come.
 
Would it count as a typo since I completely omitted adding it on the Coursework in the first place?
