The American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) is a non-profit,
centralized application processing service for applicants to the
first-year entering classes at participating U.S. medical schools.
For the 2009 entering class, most
medical schools are participating in AMCAS.
AMCAS does not render any admission decisions and does not advise
applicants where to apply. Each participating school is completely
autonomous in reaching its admissions decisions. AMCAS provides
only the application processing service. The AAMC and AMCAS neither
endorse, nor have any relationship to, commercial counseling services
concerned with admission to either U.S. or foreign medical schools.
Regardless of the number of AMCAS schools to which you apply, you
submit just one application to AMCAS via the Web. You must also
request an official transcript from each college of registration
in the United States and Canada. AMCAS then assembles your application
file, verifies it and forwards the application to your designated
medical schools. AMCAS also sends your MCAT scores for tests taken
since April 1991, provided you have released them to AMCAS.
Applicants to medical schools that do not participate in AMCAS,
as well as all advanced standing and transfer applicants, should
contact schools directly for application instructions. You should
also contact schools directly for application information regarding
joint or special programs, such as B.A./M.D., M.D./Ph.D., M.D./J.D.
and so forth. More >>
