What is the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) letters program?
• This is a program wherein 117 medical schools are requiring that letters of reference be sent to them directly from AMCAS. Visit the AMCAS website for a list of participating medical schools. • These schools will not accept a packet of letters sent directly from the CDC’s Reference File Service. • This program enables medical schools to receive all letters electronically from AMCAS. • Applicants can add up to 10 letters in their AMCAS account and can send “targeted” letters to individual schools. • Be aware that AMCAS retains letters for one application cycle only.
