I took the June 09 PCAT and ended up with a composite of 49, so I am taking the October test again. SHould I do my pharmcas application now or after I get the October scores back?
 
If you are applying to schools with rolling admissions, I would say now. Make sure you put your intent to take the Oct PCAT in PharmCAS.

Otherwise ... let's say you get a good score on the Oct test. You get your scores back in Nov, fill out your PharmCAS app, and then wait up to an additional 5 weeks for them to process it. If the schools to which you are applying have rolling admissions, then this puts you into December before they even receive your file.
