I want to mail out/online submit my supplemental applications, but I have not submitted my pharmcas application yet. Is it okay to submit the supplemental application way ahead of the pharmcas application?

I'd also like to know this. But I bet you need to submit Pharmcas first because how would the schools know who you are? How long do people wait between submitting Pharmcas and sending supplementals?

I guess I'll call them this week and find out. But on each supplemental app, they ask for your pharmcas ID so I assume they might hold it and wait for your pharmcas app. But I have to confirm this.

I think it depends on the particular school that you are applying to. The schools that I'm applying to all have steps to their admission process. The first is typically the PharmCAS application, then the supplemental application, and then the interview. So, again, I think it depends on the school.

I would do the PharmCAS submission first, and if you are held up on anything, I tell whoever you're waiting on to hurry up!
