Has anyone ever applied and sent everything close to the deadline and still get an interview and get in to a pharmacy school?

I dunno how close you are asking, but last year, my application had to be postmarked by 2/1 and I mailed it on 1/26, and it was received on 1/28.

One of my LORs was running late and had to be postmarked by 3/1. It was probably not postmarked until later because it was received on 3/11 or 3/12. One of my professors was a bit late in sending in the LOR, but that wasn't a big problem.

Yes, after submitting my pharmcas, I hoped on a bus, rode it for 10 minutes, got off at the school, walked over to the admissions office and turned in my supplemental ~ 1 hr before it was due. Now I get to go to school there !

I interviewed at Madison even though my LOR was more than a week late. I had contacted them regarding the issue, though. And I turned in every application (except PharmCAS) basically the day before the deadline and have received interviews to those two schools.

Cheb, always the sarcastic one...

@OP - I'm sure it's happened and is possible, but flying in under the wire definitely puts you behind the 8-ball.

Actually true story , whenever I ran into secretary that used to work at admissions and took my supp in, we still giggle about it like two kids.

That's probably not what the OP is asking though. I just thought it was a cute story.

Yep, My application was due on 2/1 last year, and mine got there about a week before the deadline (non-PHARMCAS school).

I turned my UofA one in like two days before the deadline and I have an interview there on 2/5
