You may access the AMCAS application log-in button by visiting aamc.org/amcas.

Information you entered when you registered for an AAMC account will populate on the first page that comes up in the application process. You can make any necessary changes to your legal name, preferred name, citizenship (only changeable before submitting your AMCAS application), birth date, and email address on this page. You may also need to add information that was not in your AAMC profile. After you have submitted your AMCAS application, you can update the information in your AAMC profile as needed.

Be sure that your information is accurate because this address is tied to your AMCAS application notifications.

Please note: Any changes you make to your My AAMC Profile, even for another AAMC service, will update your AMCAS application. Please also be aware that if you have already submitted an application, any changes you have made to your My AAMC Profile will not be reflected in that application until you resubmit it. Resubmitting does not slow down your application processing time.

• A red asterisk (*) marks required fields and sections throughout the application. Even though optional fields are obviously not required, the information may be helpful to medical school admissions officers and, ultimately, to you. If applicable, provide the optional information.
• Medical schools receive all text-entry responses as plain text, which means that formatting options (such as bullets, bold and italic fonts) do not appear for reviewers. You should enter text responses in the application exactly as you would like the medical schools to receive them (e.g., avoid using all uppercase or lowercase text).
• To make sure you receive emails from the AAMC, we recommend you add aamc.org as a “safe” domain to receive messages from. It is your responsibility to ensure you receive messages from the AMCAS program and medical schools.
•  The AMCAS application times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. A time-out warning will appear to alert you that you have five minutes left before the system logs you out of your session. Remember to save your work often!
