Are there any substitutions? Or will admissions be willing to omit this small portion of applying? Or are they willing to take into account some “outside economic experience”? Also instead of public speaking, I’ve taken small group communications. Will that work?

For recommendation letters: We'd need at least 3 on file (with PharmCAS) to review your application. You can certainly submit your application by the priority deadline, but there's not much we will be able to do until everything is complete. Of course, EVERYTHING would need to be received by the Final deadline, otherwise this could be problematic. Joel W.
