12 SMART TIPS FOR YOUR AMCAS APPLICATION Medical school admission is fierce. We are here to help you get noticed!
1.
2.
Aim to send out your application in the J's
Plan to submit your AMCAS application as early as possible—ideally in June or July. Applicants are usually processed in the order that their applications are received, so send your application as early as you can.
Have a copy of your offical transcript by your side
Order a personal copy of your transcript so you can refer to it while filling out the Course Work Section of your application. Write down course names exactly as they appear on your tran script, including those you withdrew from, failed, or repeated. AMCAS will check your application against your official transcript, and typos or misremembering on your part can hold things up.
3.
Know exactly what you'll need. Get familiar with all the pieces of your AMCAS application well in advance so that there are no surprises or races to get transcripts and professor recommendations later on. For example, all official transcripts must be sent to AMCAS directly from the registrar's office, accompanied by the AMCAS Transcript Request Form. AMCAS says, " Problems with transcripts are the number one cause of processing delays and missed application deadlines." To find out how to send transcripts to AMCAS, visit their site. 4. Be honest
In no case should you fabricate, alter, or omit information that is requested on your application. If you are caught lying on any part of your application, even after being accepted or starting at a medical school program, you will be barred from entrance, put on probation, or even expelled.
