- Applicants are expected
to become familiar with and observe the application
procedures at each school to which they apply. All application
documents including primary and secondary application
forms, transcript(s), letters of evaluation, fees, etc.,
must be submitted in a timely manner.
- Applicants must
promptly notify AMCAS* and medical schools not participating
in AMCAS* of any change of address.
- Applicants must
respond promptly to all invitations for a medical school
interview. In those instances when an applicant cannot
appear for a previously scheduled interview, the applicant
is responsible for notifying the school of cancellation
of the appointment. The cancellation should be undertaken
by telephone, followed by a letter.
- Applicants in need
of financial aid must initiate the steps necessary to
determine their eligibility as early as possible. This
includes filing the appropriate need analysis forms
in January or February, and encouraging their parents
(if required) to file their income tax forms early.
- Applicants who remain
under consideration for admission should keep the medical
schools informed of the address and telephone number
where they can be reached. Applicants who are unavailable
(e.g. foreign travel) should instruct and grant authority
to a parent or other individual to act on their behalf.
- Applicants who have
made a final decision on the medical school they plan
to attend have the obligation to promptly withdraw their
application from all other schools.
