Hi, I looked at the PCAT facts thread but I didn't see anything about fee waiver. I was wondering if there is any fee waiver for the PCAT because I know that there is one for the MCAT. And if so, where do I obtain an application. Thanks! =)

I was wondering the same thing. I checked Harcourt's website but I didn't find anything. Are fee waivers available for the PCAT?

If you cant afford to take a PCAT how will u afford everything else?

The PCAT is nominal when you start adding up the PharmCAS application fees for each school, each school's supplemental application fee, and travel/lodging for your interviews. Plus the $100-200K for your next 4 years when everything is added up.

I don't believe so. Harcourt Assessment is a for-profit institution.

you might be able to afford the test but if you don't have to spend the money for it, why not look for a fee wavier.

I know that this is an old post but I could not help but comment on the insensitive comments. No one knows this person's financial status. We are here for encouragement and support. Come on people. For those of you looking for fee waivers, if you can't find anything online, call the institution. Good luck to you all. Don't allow your financial situation to prevent higher education. There are student loans to help you get through the process.

I was wondering the same thing. I know that PharmCAS has a fee waiver and MCAT/MCAS has a Fee Assistance Program so why doesn't the PCAT have something like that?

About the people saying that the OP couldn't afford Pharm School if he couldn't afford the PCAT, maybe he or she is from a underprivileged background such as myself and will qualify for subsidized loans and other financial aid. They may also live near a Pharmacy school making the interview expenses pretty much nothing.
