I am just wondering, if I don't get into pharm school this time around and have to reapply, do I need to get 3 new letters of recommendation, or does pharmCAS save them for the next time I apply?

From what I have gathered so far, PHARMCAS do not save anything. Ya have to start afresh for every application cycle. Fellow SND members please correct me if I'm wrong.

PharmCAS states that they do not carry over items from year to year. In that spirit, I thought it prudent to ask the people providing letters of recommendation to do so on paper, so I had a copy. I did make it clear that I wouldn't reuse their recommendations without notifying them first. They all stated to a point that they'd write letters ad naseum for me, until I get in, so that made me feel all warm-and-fuzzy. 😍

I thought this prudent, because my academic record is a little tarnished, so if I'm very lucky to get an interview outside my home state. Since I haven't gotten warm-fuzzy feelings from the Dean of Admissions at KU, I've already planned what-ifs should I not get into pharmacy school this coming cycle.
