From the AMCAS team (emailed)
Now that you have submitted your American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®) application, here are a few things you need to do to help you successfully navigate the remainder of the medical school admissions process:
1. Follow school-specific policies and procedures: Review each school's application instructions, policies, deadlines, and requirements. We recommend visiting each school's admissions website, checking the Medical School Admission Requirements™, and directly communicating with the schools where you applied to ensure you understand their specific instructions and procedures.
2. Review the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool information: Many schools use the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool. In February 2025, this tool becomes available within the AMCAS application to applicants who receive an acceptance offer from a participating school. You should use the tool at the direction of the school(s) to which you applied.
3. Understand Professionalism Expectations: The Application and Acceptance Protocols for Applicants are guiding principles for professional behavior during the application cycle. They are not intended to supersede the policies, timelines, or discretion of individual schools or programs. Expectations of Professionalism During the Medical School Admissions Process and Tips from Admissions on Maintaining Professionalism Throughout Your Interview also highlight areas of professionalism that medical schools are looking for from applicants.

- “Plan to Enroll” becomes available for accepted applicants to select in the Choose Your Medical School tool, located within the AMCAS application
- Only applicants who receive an acceptance offer from a participating school will be able to see and use the tool.
- “Commit to Enroll” becomes available for accepted applicants to select in the Choose Your Medical School tool, located within the AMCAS application.
- “Plan to Enroll” is still available for accepted applicants to select during this time.
