Releasing Information to Advisors

Estimated Read time: 1 minute

If you wish to authorize the AMCAS program to release information about your application to the designated advisor(s) at the school(s) you attended, select Yes. These advisor(s) have met AMCAS-established requirements and are bound by confidentiality. Transferred information includes your personal and demographic information, MCAT scores, PREview scores, GPAs, the names of your letter writers, your letter of evaluation types, the names of any other schools you have attended, the medical schools to which you have applied and actions those schools have taken, and the status of your AMCAS application. In addition, selecting Yes for this option allows AMCAS staff to discuss your application with the designated advisor(s) at each school.

Prehealth advisors use this information to gauge the effectiveness of their advising program and to improve advising services at their school.
