The PharmCAS school deadline indicates
the date your application and all materials must be received
in the PharmCAS office. This
is NOT necessarily the deadline by which your verified application
must arrive at your designated schools.
After your application, official transcripts and
fee are received, allow up to 5 weeks for PharmCAS to process
your application. Whenever a deadline falls on a weekend
or Federal holiday, the deadline is automatically extended
to 11:59pm EASTERN time on the next business day.
PharmCAS will not process applications received after an
institutional deadline. If you miss the application
deadline for one or more, but not all, of your designated
colleges, your application will enter processing, but materials
will be sent only to those pharmacy institutions whose deadlines
you have met. PharmCAS does not issue refunds for withdrawn
applications or missed deadlines.
APPLY EARLY!
Participating PharmCAS programs encourage applicants to
submit applications at least two weeks before their institutional
deadline to avoid Web congestion due to heavy applicant
and Internet traffic. Submitting your materials early will
ensure timely processing, help avoid delays, and may improve
your chances for admission to those pharmacy institutions
that use a rolling admissions process. PharmCAS is not responsible
for any materials lost in the mail or for delays caused
by the registrar's office. Express or certified mail does
not guarantee expedient processing, nor does sending transcripts
express or certified guarantee receipt by PharmCAS.
DEADLINE EXTENSIONS
PharmCAS does not accept deadline extension requests from
applicants. Please contact your designated pharmacy school
directly to request a deadline extension. The pharmacy school
will notify PharmCAS directly if it agrees to grant you
a deadline extension. You have 48-hours to complete and
submit your PharmCAS application once the deadline is granted.
If you fail to e-submit your application in that time, you
must contact the pharmacy school directly to request a second
48-hour deadline extension. Pharmacy schools are not obligated
to grant deadline extensions or give consideration to applicants
who submit application materials after the institutional
deadline.
CHANGING YOUR SCHOOL DESIGNATIONS
AFTER YOU SUBMIT
Withdrawing Your Application
If you wish to withdraw your application from consideration
from one or more schools of pharmacy, you must contact the
institution directly. PharmCAS application fees are non-refundable.
PharmCAS does not issue refunds for withdrawn applications
or missed deadlines.
Substituting or Deleting Pharmacy School Choices
PharmCAS will not accept requests to substitute or delete
school choices or refund application fees. If after delivering
your PharmCAS application, you wish to rescind your application
to a particular pharmacy degree program, contact the institution
directly to remove your application from consideration.
Adding a Pharmacy School after Application Submission
You may apply to additional pharmacy programs after submission
of your PharmCAS application. To apply to additional programs,
log onto your PharmCAS application and designate additional
schools. Do NOT create a new PharmCAS application to add
new designations. PharmCAS must receive the appropriate
fee for each additional pharmacy program you select. You
cannot apply to a particular school after the application
deadline date has passed.

Early Decision process
TRANSCRIPT DEADLINES
You must arrange for PharmCAS to RECEIVE all of your official
transcripts by the application deadline date. A pharmacy
school may not consider your application for admission if
PharmCAS receives your transcripts late. PharmCAS does NOT
enforce transcript deadlines and will forward your verified
application to your designated schools even if your transcripts
arrive late.
