If you are a deferred or delayed matriculant, log in to the AMCAS site with the same AAMC log-in credentials you used for your previous application. You are a deferred or delayed matriculant applicant for the entering class if you:
- Submitted an AMCAS application for the previous entering class,
- Received an acceptance,
- Delayed your matriculation with the approval of the medical school granting the acceptance, and
- Were instructed by the medical school to submit your application to the institution as a deferred or delayed matriculant.
Before you submit an application to the next entering class, you need to verify your status as either a restricted or an unrestricted delayed matriculant applicant with the medical school that offered you an acceptance. When you receive the confirmation and instructions from your designated medical school to apply with delayed or deferred matriculation, the school will let you know whether your status is restricted or unrestricted.
If you are a restricted delayed matriculant applicant, you have agreed with the medical school granting the deferral that you will apply only to that medical school for the next entering class. In this case, you will not have to pay an AMCAS processing fee for resubmitting your application to the school granting the deferral. Violations of restricted delayed matriculation agreements are violations of admission processes and may result in an investigation.
If the program is unrestricted and you are allowed to designate additional schools, you will be required to pay the standard AMCAS processing fee as well as the appropriate fees for each designated school (minus the fee for the school granting the deferral).
