I know that the PCAT is not mandatory, but on their website it says it is favorably considered. Is there anyone here who has gotten accepted without taking the PCAT, or does anyone know anyone who has? It is one of the only schools who even considers it, so frustrating! 👎 Thanks!

I'm a P1 at USC and never bothered with the PCAT. I applied to 4 schools and was accepted to 2 (Western and USC) without PCAT. Now both of these were off the waitlist, so maybe I wouldn't have had to deal with waitlist had I taken it, but yes, it can be done.
