Hello, I'm preparing for my second PCAT on October since I had like 57 composite score in my first test 🙁
I was looking to submit my pharmCAS application to schools after I take my October PCAT since I didn't want to be considered from current PCAT score, then I heard from my advisor that I should submit my application ASAP since it will takes about 5 weeks to process.
I have like 3.2 gpa with 91 credits on my hand (But i won't be graduating).
so, my question is should I work on my personal statement right now and submit the application since I have LORs, transcript, and other necessary things on file already?
How long was your personal statement? If you can provide some tips for writing personal statement, I would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
 
I am still working on mine. I wi be submitting no later tham the 15th. I wrote about background, why pharmacy, and how it will help me acheive my goals. I didn't have anything great to talk about. You can do a google search for personal statements for pharmacy and med school.
