Hey all, I'm currently a Junior in college (graduating in Spring 2010). I already took the PCATs in August 2008 and I'm not planning on retaking them. I want to enter Pharmacy school in Fall 2010. What's the earliest I can start applying? By what time should I have all of my applications sent in?

Thanks!

You should begin applying next summer. Everyone that is applying now is applying for Fall 2009.

PharmCAS opens on June 1st I believe. But it's always a good thing to prepare early. Maybe in the springtime you can start thinking about your essay, whom you'll ask for recommendations, etc. so by June 1st you'll be one of the first to e-submit.
