Do I need to have my evaluators submit LORs to the schools in addition to going through PharmCAS?

From the schools' websites it appears that I would have to do it for USC and Western. UCSF, UCSD, and UOP seem to prefer PharmCAS. I'm not planning for Loma Linda or Touro so I don't know about those schools. If you guys can let me know, that'd be great!
 
For UCSD, UCSF and UOP submit LORs to PharmCAS. For Western they need to go directly to the school (make sure the person signs over the seal of the closed envelope). I didn't apply to USC so I'm not sure. Since UOP requires a LOR from a pharmacist (and none of the 3 I submitted to PharmCAS were from a pharmacist), I submitted the pharmacist LOR with my supplemental app. But that was for UOP only.
