To complete and submit your application, you must certify a set of statements, which serves the same purpose as your legal signature. Agreeing to the certification statements is binding. Once you submit your application to the AMCAS program, you can make only limited changes to it. Therefore, you need to undertake a careful review of your entire application, and we suggest you review a hard copy of it by selecting the Print Application button on the Main Menu. (It’s important to note only your processed application will reflect your AMCAS GPAs.)
