The standard application process involves the following steps once you submit your application:
- The AMCAS program emails you the acknowledgment that your application was received. You
may also verify receipt through your application’s Main Menu. The acknowledgment indicates only that your AMCAS application has been received; it does not indicate that your materials are complete or that you have met the deadline requirements. - The AMCAS program determines whether all official transcripts have been received. If they have not, your application is held until they have. The program will email you every 10 business days until the transcripts arrive or until all deadlines have passed. You may check the status of your transcripts by checking your application’s Main Menu.
- If any transcripts are missing or incomplete during verification, the AMCAS program stops verifying your materials and emails you. Omission of any necessary materials causes processing delays and could lead to missed deadlines.
- When your application and all transcripts are on file, the program verifies your entered coursework against your official transcripts.
