If you have submitted your application to the AMCAS program and are then granted a late deferral by one of the schools to which you applied for the previous entering class, you may need to complete one of the following tasks, depending on the type of deferral you received:
- If the program granting the deferral is restricted and you have designated other medical schools, you will need to withdraw your application from the other medical schools by sending them a written notice of withdrawal. Once your application has been processed, you may not un-designate any institutions from the Medical Schools section.
- If the program is unrestricted, you need to ask the medical school granting the deferral to extend your deadline; once your deadline has been extended, you must select the Deferred/Delayed program type for the deferring school in the Medical Schools section of your AMCAS application and then update your application by selecting Resubmit Application on the Main Menu.
