Hi,

I am gathering letters of recommendation well before PharmCAS opens. I'm not even sure when PharmCAS opens. Anyone know?

Is it a good idea to have my letter writers send letters to Interfolio just as a place to keep it and then have Interfolio send it PharmCAS?

I am aware there is a PharmCAS recommendation form and I can have my writers fill that out when necessary.
 
PharmCAS usually opens during the summer (June/July) for the next cycle. I'm not aware of Interfolio but most schools use PharmCAS and your references are able to submit their recommendations online versus letter forms.

I think typically PharmCAS's forms are mostly Q/A and ratings versus accepting a typed paragraph from the references. So I don't think interfolio will be useful to you.
