Paper Reference Request

So one of my references is having issues receiving my electronic reference request through her email service and has requested a paper form instead. Does anyone know how long it takes for PharmCAS to process the form? The website just simply says that paper forms takes longer to duplicate with no definite time frame given.

I'm not sure what the website says, but in my experience, it takes 2-4 weeks for it to appear on PharmCAS.

BUT the good thing is i heard that you can e-submit your application when your side of it is finished, and PharmCAS won't hold back your application to the schools...the schools will still be able to access the LOR if they come in after you e-submit.

I called pharmacas directly about this because I am going through the same situation with my reference and they said the time delay is just the additional time for it to go through the mail. Hope that helps
