I am taking pcat on oct and I still have not applied pharmcas. I am so stressed out with the test and don't have time for the personal statement and LoR.


i see that most of the sdners are done,,👍👍
it looks like i m the only one 😕 who have not applied.

what shoud i do? 🙁 should i do the pharmcas after the test? What is disadvantage of doing the pharmcas late? why is everyone so rush with the application?
 
pharmcas takes a long time to complete...trust me, i was married to it for like a month getting my coursework in verbatim. also, the sooner you get your app in, the more likely you can secure an interview. that means applying right around now for a january deadline.
 
Trust me, the majority of people don't submit their application until the very last minute. The people on SDN tend to be overachievers who get things done early. Worry about the PCAT first and then PharmCAS. Though if you have a few extra minutes, get your transcripts and LORs sent in. Those don't take a lot of time on your part and can be tricky since you are relying on a third person to do them. The advantage of getting your app in early is mostly for rolling admissions schools that start accepting people before their application deadline.
