If the AMCAS Letter ID number listed in your application differs from the number provided to your letter author, the AMCAS program will be unable to match them. You will be notified by email that a letter of evaluation has been received but not yet added to your application. You will need to log in to match the letter received to the letter information entered. The letter will be displayed under Received Letters in this section of your application.
To match a letter of evaluation for which you already have a letter entry:
- Log in to your application and go to the Letters of Evaluation section.
- Select Match This Letter.
- To match to an existing letter entry, select the letter entry from the list and select Save Match.
To match a letter of evaluation that you have not yet created a letter entry for:
- Log in to your application and go to the Letters of Evaluation section.
- You will be prompted to complete an Add Letter of Evaluation/Recommendation entry. For more information, refer to Creating Letter Entries.
- Once you have completed the fields, select Save.
- Regardless of how you added letters to your application, if you have previously submitted your application, go to the Main Menu and select Resubmit Application to save your changes. This will not cause processing delays or result in additional fees.
