Check the sticky at the top of the threat titled, "Pre-Pharmacy FAQ", you might find the answer to your question in there. However, most if not all of the CA schools do not require the PCAT.
If you know the schools you're looking at that doesn't require the PCAT, then read the Roll Call thread stickied at the top of this forum to see the people who got into the non-PCAT schools.
Every single student would have or did get into the following schools without PCAT: All California schools, Oregon State, University of Idaho and Pacific University.
Look into the FAQ forum to understand how applying works and what is needed at particular schools.
I did not take the PCAT and I applied to USN and LECOM-Erie. I was offered an interview at both. Turned down the interview at USN since it came after I had already been accepted to LECOM.
