Central Application for Podiatry (AACPMAS) Now Open
We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2010 AACPMAS Application. Students interested in podiatric medicine can now begin their application
We have implemented several enhancements for the 2010 application cycle, including:
AACPMAS now requires applicants to list their entire academic record within the application. This is a change from just reporting required coursework.
AACPMAS now requires applicants to send just one set of transcripts to the application service rather than sending transcripts to each of their designated schools and colleges of podiatric medicine. Students should not wait to complete their application before forwarding transcripts to AACPMAS. Processing of the application can not begin until all transcripts have been received. Students should send their transcripts to:
AACPMAS
PO Box 9200
Watertown, MA 02471
AACPMAS now has expanded sections for describing an applicant’s podiatric shadowing, health care, employment and extracurricular experiences.
AACPMAS now requires that applicants provide their 8-digit MCAT/AAMC number that was assigned to them when they registered for their MCAT exam. AACPMAS must have this number in order to accurately match their MCAT scores to their AACPMAS application.
AACPMAS will begin collecting data about race/ethnicity in compliance with U.S. Department of Education standards.
Many of the nine colleges of podiatric medicine use Interfolio, Virtual Evals or both services in collecting letters of recommendation for their applicants. The chart outlining which colleges accept electronic letters can be found within the application FAQs.
