I was just wondering if anyone could tell me, if it's possible to turn in the same essay from last year application into this year's PharmCas application. Also, is there a system that check to see if you plagiarized, because it would be horrible to get caught plagiarizing my own work.

did you get accepted last cycle with this PS? I am assuming NO,so why would you use the same PS? obviously means your PS was lacking. retype a new one to incorporate any new experiences you may have had
The PS topics for each individual school does NOT appear on pharmcas. The pharmcas PS topic that is sent to ALL schools that use pharmcas is
"Your Personal Essay should address why you selected pharmacy as a career and how the Doctor of Pharmacy degree relates to your immediate and long-term professional goals. Describe how your personal, educational, and professional background will help you achieve your goals."
the individual topics for each of your schools can be found under the supplemental applications on each schools website.
I actually got accepted last cycle with my PS, so I think I'll just make minor changes and resubmit it
Absolutely. You may not want to compare with last year's application directly, but definitely put your best foot forward in your personal statement.
Also:
I always wondered - would the plagiarism filter catch your essay for... plagiarizing yourself?? 😛
I got accepted to UIC and Howard. I had to decline because I got really sick toward the end of the semester and couldn't finish my prereqs
I was wondering the same? Because I was going to just going to go through my essay and make the changes where I needed to.[/QUOTE]
maybe someone should email PharmCAS and find out

I called PharmCAS and they told that the schools you apply to check for all that. But it should not be a problem because it's your own work. So PharmCAS suggested that it should be fine as long as you didnt take anything from the internet, book, and things like that.
