If you decide to withhold your scores for obvious reasons from a school of your interest, will that school eventually figure out through Harcourt Assessment what you received on your test?

If a school requires the PCAT for admission, then your application won't be complete until you send them your PCAT scores.

If a school doesn't require the PCAT, they could give a rats ass about your scores.

If you selected PharmCAS as one of your designations, then all your PCAT scores will be sent to your PharmCAS schools anyway making your attempt at withholding a moot point.

Remember that many schools look at only your highest composite score. So even if you did worse on a recent test, they'll look at the best.

Sorry, my question was not clear enough. What I was alluding to was sending your scores to non PharmCAS related schools so that the PharmCAS related schools would not receive them. That it was I meant by "withholding." I am just wondering if it is possible seeing as that you can always send the scores later to the PharmCAS related schools.
