What is Certification?
Certification refers to the process of certifying the following statement
prior to submitting your application:
"I have read, understand and agree to comply with AMCAS Instructions,
including the provisions noting that I am responsible for monitoring
and ensuring the progress of my application process, by frequently checking
the Main Menu of my application. I understand that I am responsible
for reviewing my application after AMCAS processing is complete. I
acknowledge that my failure to identify potential processing discrepancies
may result in adverse admission decisions, and I understand that I am
not eligible for a refund of AMCAS fees if I do not contact AMCAS within
10 days of application processing completion. I also understand that
I am responsible for knowing and understanding the admissions requirements
for each school to which I am applying, and that I am not eligible for
a refund of AMCAS fees if I do not meet the admissions requirements
of the medical schools. I acknowledge and agree that my sole remedy
in the event of any errors or omissions relating to the handling or
processing of my application is to obtain a refund of my AMCAS application
fee. I certify that the information in this application and associated
materials is current, complete, and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
I further certify that AMCAS has my permission to release information,
at the request of the medical school(s), to a third-party to pre-populate
online secondary applications."
Your certification of this statement serves the same purpose as a legal
signature, and is binding. Applicants must re-certify and re-submit
their application each time they make a post-submission change.
