My plan was to apply for Fall of 2011 because I wanted to spend a year to work and pay off my undergraduate debt, but now my friends and coworkers say I should just apply since I really have nothing to lose (besides the application fees). I took the PCAT already (and got a 90) but I haven't asked for LORs yet. Is there a snowball chance I might still have time to apply to the schools with March 1st deadlines?

It's funny because sometimes we focus so much on getting accepted that we forget how darn expensive going to pharmacy school will be. SIGH 😱

Thanks.

You should probably apply to at least Touro, if the deadline hasn't passed ( which I don't believe it has). If you get your LORs quickly ( which depending on your relationship with the person may take you one day ), you can most definitely make it. 👍 Check pharmcas for the list of schools that you can apply to.

Hey, thanks for the response! I can only e-submit my PharmCAS after I get the LORs and transcripts in right? Thanks again.
 
Nope, you can e-submit your PharmCAS application now, however, you must have already sent the letters of recommendations to whomever is doing it so that when they are finished, it will be updated and submitted to PharmCAS electronically.

Check the PharmCAS directory for individual school deadlines. It is late in the cycle, but certainly not too late. That is an excellent PCAT score, not get those LORs done NOW -mmkay😀

Thanks for the help! Too bad Pacific deadline passed already, I would love to go there.
