Submitting transcripts
You are required to submit copies of your official transcripts (sometimes also known as "marks reports"). Some transcripts must be sent to PharmCAS, and some must be sent to UCSF. For details, see Checklist: Transcripts.
Submitting letters of recommendation
Do not confuse transcripts with applicant recommendations. All letters of recommendation are submitted electronically through PharmCAS -- do not deliver these to UCSF.

If you're an international applicant, see Information for International Applicants for other considerations you should be aware of before you submit an application. If you're not sure if you're an international applicant, see Residency.
