PharmCAS: Before You Begin
Are you starting to think about beginning your PharmCAS application? Great idea! Here are some tips from the PharmCAS website about what to do before you begin your application:
CHECKLIST FOR APPLICANTS
This checklist is intended to help you prepare your application, but is not intended to be a
substitute for the full application instructions. The PharmCAS application is only one step in
the pharmacy admissions process. You must meet all PharmCAS and school requirements
before your application will be processed and reviewed.
- Read all PharmCAS instructions carefully.
- If you wish, you may print your copy of the PharmCAS Application Instructions.
- Create your PharmCAS login account immediately to obtain your PharmCAS ID number.
- Use the "PharmCAS Transcript Request Form" to arrange for ALL of your OFFICIAL transcripts to be received PharmCAS office by the application deadline! If you do not submit the transcript request form with each your transcript, your application file may be delayed in processing.
- Enter ALL of your U.S. coursework on your application using personal copies of your transcripts. Do not enter foreign courses.
- Arrange for your PCAT, TOEFL, and TSE test scores to be sent directly to PharmCAS, if required by your designated pharmacy schools. PharmCAS will match your PCAT scores to your application based on your PCAT CID. You MUST report your PCAT CID on your application.
- Submit the correct PharmCAS fee to the service by the pharmacy school deadline. Credit card payments are preferred. If mailing a money order, attach the completed PharmCAS
- Payment Form. PharmCAS does not accept cash or check payments.
- Review your application for accuracy. You cannot edit your application once it is e-submitted.
- Print your completed application for your personal records.
- Arrange for your summer and fall 2010 transcripts to be sent to PharmCAS as soon as they are available. Update your coursework during the Academic Update.
- Check your email for important messages from PharmCAS. Periodically check your e-mail spam folder.
- Login to your application frequently to check the status of your application.
Good Luck!

Top Pharmacy Schools
Ever wondered what the top pharmacy schools in the nation are? Well here is a list for you, straight from U.S. News and World Report rankings!
Will They Count CHEM 105???
Oh transfer credits. What fun! I know a lot of us can get frustrated trying to figure out what class counts for which requirements, but do not give up! Many of the school's websites have "equivalence guides" where you can read up to see if your class will count. Below is the guide found on the University of Utah's Pharmacy School website (found at this link)
And if you still can't figure it out, most schools have an admissions advisor for their pharmacy school who can help you out if you just give them a call!
