Welcome to the American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®). The AMCAS program is a centralized application processing service available to people applying only to a first-year entering class at a participating U.S. medical school. If you are an advanced-standing or transfer applicant, you should contact medical schools directly for assistance.
You are about to begin the important and exciting process of applying to medical school. The AMCAS program simplifies the process by requiring you to submit only one set of application materials.
The AMCAS program is never involved in the admission decision-making process. Admission decisions are made solely by medical schools. It’s important that you visit the websites of the medical schools where you plan to apply to familiarize yourself with each school’s admission requirements and process. Another helpful resource during the application process is the Medical School Admission Requirements™ (MSAR®) database.
