During peak season, AMCAS verification may take six to eight weeks. Once you have submitted your application and the AMCAS program has received all your required transcripts, your application will be listed as Ready for Review. At this stage, your application is in the verification queue. When your application status is Under Review, the AMCAS program determines if there are any missing or incorrect items that may prevent verification processing. If omissions or errors can’t be resolved, the program will return your application.
The most common reasons for a returned application are:
- Failure to include original grades and credit hours for repeated courses.
- Failure to list 10 or more courses that appear on an official transcript.
- Failure to list 10 or more credits as they appear on an official transcript.
- Failure to list 10 or more grades as they appear on an official transcript.
- Failure to list coursework in chronological order.
You can only correct or change an AMCAS application that is returned to you. Be sure to review your application carefully before submitting it to the AMCAS program. You will not be able to change anything unless the program returns the application to you and specifically requests corrected information.
