How long until application recieved?

So when PharmCAS mail out your application, the school recieves the application at a point in time from when the application was mailed. When the school recieves the application, they send you an email saying "We recieved your application, and this is your application ID for our school".

What was that time period between PharmCAS mailing and you receiving the email confirmation from your University of choice?

This depends on the school--I received one interview invite the day after my PharmCAS was 'verified' (all my supplementals were completed prior). Another school never acknowledged receipt of my PharmCAS app.

Jesus the second one alarmed me.

How did they give you an interview the day after if the application are physically mailed out? it takes atleast 3-5 business days for the school to recieve the application and then probably an additional 1-3 days for the secretary or whoever to sort it out and put it in the correct folder.

That's so confusing

And for the second school, they didn't acknowledge recieving your application, but did they tell you that you were rejected or accepted at all?

For the first one--I gather that they can electronically access the PharmCAS apps..

For the second one..they acknowledged my supplemental apps (in July)..didn't acknowledge my PharmCAS (in October). I received a letter that they were evaluating my application in December..and received an interview invite for January. I didn't worry about it too much since all the other schools acknowledged my application being complete, so I trusted that PharmCAS held up their end.
