Transcripts

Estimated Read time: 2 minutes

If the AMCAS program requires a transcript from your school(s), you must list each school in this section. You will then be able to create and print an AMCAS pre-barcoded Transcript Request Form to send to the appropriate registrar(s).

Pre-barcoded Transcript Request Forms are only needed for paper transcript submissions. If you are submitting a paper transcript, we strongly recommend including the pre-barcoded form to help ensure your transcript is correctly matched to your application.

For each school listed in your application, a unique transcript ID is generated. When requesting an electronic transcript, you must provide both your AAMC ID and the correct transcript ID to the transcript vendor or registrar. These identifiers ensure your e-transcript is matched accurately to your application. Entering incorrect AAMC or transcript IDs may result in processing delays. 

Issues with transcripts are the No. 1 cause of processing delays and missed application deadlines. Please review this section carefully.

We also strongly recommend you request copies of your official transcript(s) for your own use in completing the Coursework section of your application. Please review each transcript carefully to be certain that:

  • All coursework to date is listed and accurate.
  • Any narrative evaluations received instead of grades are attached to your record.
  • All final grades are reported correctly.
  • All final grade changes are clearly recorded.
  • Any list of other institutions attended is correct and complete.

You must submit new official transcripts each year you apply.
