AMCAS preferred email snafu, please help!

[barrekelley]

Just go verified - I just realized that for my preferred email, I accidentally put my old school email that I don't have access to any more.

Can I go back to AMCAS application and change my preferred email address without having to be re-verified?

Also, will all the schools get my new email address?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that you can change your permanent email after you submit. And medical schools will use your updated one. I think you're okay here.

Good luck!

You'll have to recertify your app, but it won't be reverified. A.k.a. the new e-mail address will be used immediately.

First suggestion: stop panicking.

Second: You'll have to change your email regardless, so go do that..and THEN worry whether it's going to cause you to be reverified.

Three: It likely won't, but again, it's not relevant because you have to change it anyway.

Four: As you start to fill out secondaries, you'll notice schools encourage you to change your information via AMCAS so it gets updated with the school...

Good luck!
