Pharmcas personal statement

[bboyroxas101]

I need to write my personal statement and I have some questions. Is the pharmcas statement just a basic one then I have to write another one to the pharmacy school on the supplemental application? Can I just send my pharmcas to a bunch of schools at the same time?

On PharmCAS, you will have to write a personal statement that has a prompt and will serve as the personal statement that all schools that you apply to via PharmCAS will see. Some schools require you to complete a supplemental application that will have mini essays or other essays if they choose to require them. Once you complete your PharmCAS application, you may send it to as many schools as you want as long as you are not applying via early decision.

Well I am applying for early decision

Well, then you can only apply to one school until you hear a decision from that school. I would also refrain from personalizing your personal statement to a specific pharmacy school (even if you are applying early decision) because if you don't get accepted, you can't change the content of your personal statement.

O so I can only chops one school for early decision??? I did not know that was the case

I've never gone through the PharmCAS deal but if it works the same as the AMCAS deal, then you can pick one school and the other schools will not see anything from you until the chosen school makes a decision on your app (again, as I understand it). It's a gamble obviously because you delay your application to all the other schools. ED wasn't right for me but every person and situation is different.
