- Can I add schools after I certify and submit my initial AMCAS
application?
Yes. You may re-enter your certified and submitted AMCAS application
at any time to add additional medical school choices or designations,
as long as the deadline has not passed for the school you wish
to add. You must re-certify and re-submit the application at that
time, and this must be done by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
(EST) of the deadline day. Re-certifying and re-submitting your
application will not cause any processing delays, but you will
be asked to submit payment of $31/school.
- Can I make a change to my application
once it's been submitted?
After the initial submission of your application, you may only
make changes to the following information:
- Required and Alternate IDs
- Name, including Full Legal Name, Preferred Name and Alternate
Names
- Contact Information, including Permanent and Preferred Mailing
Addresses, and Alternate Contact Information.
- Next MCAT
- Letters of Evaluation can be added and assigned to medical
schools.
- Medical schools can be added if the deadlines have not passed.
You must re-certify and re-submit your application after making
a change. This will not cause any processing delays and you will
not be charged.
Other Changes: To address changes to your Course Work
made by AMCAS during the Verification process, you must submit
a change request to AMCAS using the Academic Change Request option
on the vertical menu located on the right side of your application
screen. This option becomes available only after your application
has completed the Verification process. Allow at least five business
days for AMCAS to review and/or process the academic change request.

of your application by sending a fax or mailing the following
information to AMCAS:
- Your name

in the application

How can I withdraw my AMCAS application?
To withdraw your AMCAS application from consideration you must
do so online by selecting withdraw application from the right
side of the main menu. This option is only available after submission
and before verification of your AMCAS application. In order to
withdraw you must certify that you have read and understood the
statement provided within the application. The certification will
serve as your signature. You will receive a refund for the medical
schools deadlines that have not passed and will not receive the
non refundable $160 service fee.
Please Note: An application cannot be withdrawn if monies are
owed to AMCAS. All monies must be paid before an application can
be withdrawn. If your AMCAS application reaches the verification
status your application may not be withdrawn and you will not
receive a refund.
