another fun year of dealing with the "AMAZING" customer service of PharmCAS. such a waste of money and time....
Wow it's been a year already, that was really fast. I remember making the same post last year about PharmCAS not opening up on June 1st. Just a reminder, turn in your application early, first wave of applications should be sent out by late july/early august from PharmCAS. G'luck to 2010 applicants.
I have not had any issues with them. Just give them a day to get stuff straight and you will be fine.
what is the hold up?! haha
this is so sad.. i even tried changing the url from "applicants09" to "applicants10" and it didn't work :x i'm way too anxious.
RELAX. If you turn it in today or next week it won't matter. Go watch some TV or take a nap (my personal favorite) 🙂
Good luck to everyone.
I learned to HATE PharmCAS over the years! Unreliable and lack consistency.

I just got off the phone with them and was told and I quote "The application will be available by 11:59EST" so I said its "1PM EST" and Jennifer said "No 11:59PM EST" Stupid PharmCas!
So, the application won't be 100% available until June 4th... so chill out everyone she said "It may open up before then but not likely" Eh, I'll relax for a few more hours before my sleepless nights begin.
Good luck to everyone!
I got "The requested URL /applicants09/index.cgi was not found on this server." 
I give up stressing about PharmCAS...but you should take a few minutes to read some of the things at this post:

Does anyone know where I can find my PCAT CID on the PCAT website?
PCAT CID - Canidate ID - assigned to you when you have completed the registration.

I haven't sign ed up for it yet, but Im going to since Pharmcas requires it.
you can also find the PCAT CID on the score report (if you already took the PCAT and have received your score report)
Never mind, figured it out. Sorry for wasting this post!
the university at buffalo is listed by pharmcas as the university of buffalo 😱

I took the pcat last October and plan to take it again this August. Would my CID be the same as the one reported on teh october report? Or would I get a new CID in August?
(Sorry, I'm a newbie at pcat)
I just called to ask about that. They said you can enter it in once you've registered for the PCAT. I also went onto the Pearson website to look it up from my previous PCAT, but I didn't see any PCAT CID. So I'll enter it in as soon as I register for the next one.
Yes, that's what I just did. The section for PCAT CID is not required, so you can always go back to enter it in before you e-submit.
I took it on october 2006 and plan to retake it again this october. I would assume that it would be the same. Really, it would have to be (from my logic). Because you should be sending scores from both times you took it. Kind of like when you take other tests (like the SAT or GRE) they send one score report with two dates listed. So I assume that it would be the same. You could contact the pcat people if you wouldl iek to check on that.
Where can we print the transcript request form?
so what all does the application require? any paperwork i need to have handy? do you have to submit a personal statement through PharmCAS?
If I'm half European Spanish would I choose Spanish/Hispanic/Latino as my ethnicity?
I believe the CID is the PCAT Candidate ID, which is a long-sequenced number you find at the top right corner when you view your receipt on the Pearson site. Correct me if I'm wrong, since that is what I've done for now.
Since some people suggest looking at the application even if you're not applying, I was wondering if it was worth the effort to sign up, etc. Does it mandate that all fields be completed prior to advancement to the next section?
No, you can pick and choose which order to do them in.
Click on Coursework > Add Session > and add your courses based on the quarter/semester you took them in.

I am going to take the PCAT for the second time this August. When I registered for the PCAT, I already told them to send the scores to PharmCas.
Now the question is, for the PCAT I took first time around back in last October, do I have to request PCAT to send this score to PharmCas?

The advice I got when I asked the same question was to choose 1 year, because you have lived there one year or over but have not yet reached two years, despite being there for 2 years by matriculation.
In short, I don't think it really matters a lot either way.
Go PharmCAS! I'm glad I didn't try to use the system before when everyone else was having problems, I probably would've had a nervous breakdown.
correct, i just started filling out mine, will probably take me few days to finish it all.
Can I take the PCAT before I fully finish and submit the PharmCAS application?
Question.... I'm trying to put in my courses. However, what exactly do they mean by "credit hours." Is that just the normal credit - ie. a normal science class is usually 3 or 4 credits. At my undergraduate school, we had these things called "units" which were basically how many hours the class was supposed to take - so 9 or 12 units usually (our rule was divide by 3 to get the number of credits).
Sooo... which is it? Thanks!
