If you are only applying to participating medical schools you need
not use the Career Center Letter Service. Your letter writers
can send their recommendations to AMCAS directly by mail (surface or FedEx),
or can electronically upload them as a PDF to their secure site
(for further details and instructions, go to the AMCAS Letter FAQ section).
If you want to apply to any of the 15 medical schools who are
NOT participating in AMCAS Letter
(or potentially other graduate programs), you will need to
have either a Career Center Letter Service account, or have your
individual letter writers forward your letters of recommendation
to each institution when you are invited to complete a secondary application.
If you already have an
active Letter Service account
(current student or Alumni Advantage member)
and it contains all your letters and AMCAS matching forms, you
only need to submit a single, online request and have them sent to AMCAS. AMCAS will then distribute your letters to all
participating schools to which you have applied.
If you have an active Letter
Service account and are applying to any non-participating medical schools,
you will need to submit an online request for each school to which you have
applied.
If you are an alum,
have an inactive Letter Service account, and are not
interested in the other services offered through Alumni
Advantage (e.g., counseling, statement review), you can submit an
online request to send your letters to AMCAS by utilizing our One-Time-Send
option.
If
you do not have a Letter Service account,
you can ask your letter writers to submit their letters directly to AMCAS. AMCAS charges no fees for this service.
If you send your
letters to AMCAS via the Career Center Letter Service, you may want to do
so using our Express
or Rush service. For an additional fee, these requests are sent via
FedEx and you can confirm their arrival via the tracking number posted to your
Letter Service account’s request history.
