Hi everyone. This is my first time applying so I'm kind of confused about the supplemental process. I see that a lot of the applications are already posted on the school's website. Am I supposed to be invited to do the supplemental applications or do I just do it and turn it in? Someone please help me! Thanks!!
 
Depends on the school. Some schools will screen your PharmCAS application and then invite you to do the supplemental application.

Other schools ask you to turn in the supplemental along with your PharmCAS app before they'll start looking at you

is it weird to send in the supp app for a school before submitting pharmcas?

Not entirely. I submitted my UoP supp app before submitting PharmCAS. I was informed that they would hold on to my supp app until my PharmCAS app arrived so they could match the 2. I would let the secretary or someone in AdCom know exactly how you are proceeding with your app. That way they know what to expect.
