Fishy waters here.

PharmCAS is going to send the application as soon as your application is complete and paid (in the proper window) and sends your PCAT scores as they arrive to whatever institutions you apply to.

The problem here is that the colleges will recieve your application first and then wait for your PCAT scores to judge you for admission. It is to my knowledge that PharmCAS WILL send the second scores as well, however during this process, they might already make a judgement about you based on reciept of your first scores.

The good thing is that many schools, instead of outright sending a denial letter, put you into a "less competitive pile" and put your on hold incase they do not get enough competitive applications. During this, if your new scores arrive, you could very well be considered again depending on how the school conducts their admission process.

Best way to find out is the contact the colleges you are applying to as this is more a college-specific question rather than PharmCas.
