RE: PharmCAS Volume Update - November 2018 Attached is the latest PharmCAS applicant and application update for the current 2018-2019 cycle. The update includes new comparison data for schools by application deadline and program type.
The total number of PharmCAS applicants with verified status has increased by 4.4% as compared to this time last year. Unfortunately, the number of applications (designations) has declined by 18.7 percent to date, which may be partially attributed to greater participation in the Early Decision process. The average number of designations per applicant is expected to increase before the end of the cycle.
Additional trend data is available in the 2017-2018 PharmCAS Applicant Data Report (PDF) and can be downloaded via AACP Connect. Please contact me directly with any questions or feedback on the latest report. (Do not click reply to this message.) Thank you!
