1. I do not submit all required recommendations through PharmCAS eLOR service,..."

I think they mean letter of recommendations to PharmCAS - it doesn't necessarily have to be a paper LOR but all three must be sent to PharmCAS - not the school itself

That is exactly what I was thinking! I think by eLOR they just mean that you do it through PharmCAS. Why would PharmCAS accept paper recommendation letters if they weren't valid by other schools? Also, if you have any doubt just call UCSF and check with them. Its still not too late to correct that, if it is the case (hopefully it isn't).
