Submitting Committee Packets for AMCAS (MD) Application - Fall 2010 Admission
Just a few quick points:
1) When you have submitted your AMCAS application and have received at least one secondary application (or been prompted to complete a secondary), please fill out and submit the Release Form to our office in 109 Norton Hall. Please ALSO complete and turn in the AMCAS Letter ID Form found in the actual AMCAS application as opposed to just providing your AMCAS Letter ID Number.
*** Note: We became aware just yesterday that once we submit a Committee packet to an MD school, your letter packet may be transmitted to all other MD schools you have designated at the same time. AMCAS and the individual medical schools are aware of this. Due to this change in VirtualEvals processing for 2010, it would actually result in your letters arriving to the other schools earlier (not later) than previous years. We will confirm our understanding of this and send out a follow-up notice to you ASAP. If this is the case, we do not need to stagger the transmission of your letters to each individual MD school as previously indicated. This seems to be true only for the MD schools, not DO. If you are applying to any DO schools, please also submit a completed Release Form listing all your designated DO schools and notify Virginia (Jinny) Majewski via email (vmajewsk@buffalo.edu) about your receipt of any DO secondary applications. As we hear from you about the receipt of DO secondary applications, we will forward your packet to those specific schools.
