I'm applying for Fall 2011, and I submitted my application in mid-October. I have not heard back from the school I applied to so I thought it was probably because my PCAT score was pretty low and other candidates were higher on the list than I. Yet, since most of my friends (who submitted their applications in December or January) got invitations for interviews and I haven't, I gave a call to the school. Then I found out that they have not received my PCAT score from PharmCAS because I had not entered my PCAT CID # on PharmCAS.....I never knew we had to do that!!! The admission officer was very vague about whether I still could be considered or not. She said she didn't want such a little thing to put me out of the list, yet my application IS incomplete. I do admit it was my responsibility to make sure everything was submitted...But I really didn't know, and I have no other excuse. I figured out my CID # and entered it on the PharmCAS account, so hopefuly PharmCAS posts my score asap (they said 48-72 hours till they post the score online and 10 business days to send to school. Why so long???). Do you think they'll give me another chance and review my application at this point? What can I do right now to hasten the process (Can I do anything at all)??

Depend on University. Which university you applied to?

I'm pretty sure the deadline for UMaryland was early Jan if I remember correctly from when I applied last year. I know they have their interviews in Jan and Feb, so you might want to call them and specifically ask if your application will be considered.
