Script volume is at its lowest in the summer, so applying now is probably a waste of time if you're going the online route. (Budget cuts on technician hours). Most of the applications are put automatically on the backburner. Call if you must get something now, but I suggest trying just before school starts and offer a lot of availability. If you can't handle both school and work, then you might not get a lot of response from pharmacies. It's a business not an institution.
