so the early decision deadline is 9/4, but the on the school's website is 9/1. Why are they different. It doesn't matter either way since I will submit my application way before then.
Now does the application have to be received by the deadline or the submitted by the deadline? Pharmcas states it take them 4-6 weeks to process the application. I don't know i f I submit the application on August 10th it will received by the deadline. Interview starts in September I am worry If it would be too late. Thanks.
 
Email pharmcas and ask them. I am sure they can give you a more accurate answer than anyone on here. Then you will be sure exactly when you must have everything submitted to make your deadline.
 
according to the school I am applying to, apparently you have to submit by deadline.

Meanwhile, I am really confused about e-submitting, when should I do it? I have every piece information entered. Pharmcas have not received my transcript and LOR has not been sent. can anyone help?

Just e-submit already. I e-submitted my PharmCAS on June 9th, before my transcripts had been cleared as received.

As far as the timeline for my transcripts, I sent them from my registrar's office on June 7th and PharmCAS marked it as received on June 12th. They received them 3 days after I e-submitted and it was no problem. As far as I know, they don't start GPA calculations until transcripts are in.. probably the only draw back. The good thing is you probably already sent in your transcripts.

For LOR, you can always add in references after e-submitting too. I added in my LOR before I e-submitted and just let them submit it to PharmCAS whenever they were done.

tl;dr Submit it now! Schools can see when you submit your PharmCAS too!
