The AAMC, with input and feedback from the admissions community, has decided to delay transmitting AMCAS applicant data to medical schools by two weeks.
At this time, they intend to open the AMCAS application as planned on May 4, and this transmission delay – moving from June 26 to July 10 – will give applicants additional time to complete their applications during this rapidly changing situation due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
They do not expect this two-week delay to impact AMCAS operations, including application processing and verification.
Many schools are updating their policies and timelines daily. Please check Medical School Admission Requirement (MSAR) (Links to an external site.) for those changes to ensure you have the latest information.
