Each day this week, we'll answer some of the most frequently asked AMCAS questions here. Let’s dive in!
When do I need to submit the AMCAS application?
We recommend that you submit your application no later than early to mid-June because your application will go through a verification process prior to the data being released to medical schools. This can take anywhere from a couple of weeks early in the process, to over a month during peak application submission periods. Note, in order to complete verification, your application must contain your official transcript, so request this document as well as your letters of recommendation a month or two before your planned submission date.
You also want to submit your AMCAS application early because this step triggers schools to send out secondary application materials, either automatically, or after a pre-screen of your application.
