Releasing scores to AACOMAS

Can someone please explain how to send my MCAT scores to AACOMAS? I just started my AACOMAS application and it didn't ask for my MCAT identification number or anything. It says: "AACOMAS MUST have this number to match your MCAT scores to your AACOMAS record." But where do I enter it??

Any help is really appreciated, Thank you.

Read the AACOMAS instruction booklet. On page 13, it tells you that you must forward from the AAMC website

To forward your MCAT scores to AACOMAS: 1. Visit the AAMC's web site at
http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat
2. Log into the MCAT Testing History system and select AACOMAS as a recipient of your scores to ensure that your scores will be transmitted to AACOMAS.
3. Your MCAT is transmitted electronically to AACOMAS and is linked to your AACOMAS record using your full name and the eight-digit MCAT/AAMC number assigned when you reg- ister for the MCAT. Be sure that you accurately enter the eight-digit MCAT/AAMC number
– providing the wrong number will delay the transmission of your application to the colleges.
Applicants should allow at least 3 business days from the date AAMC completes their request before contacting AACOMAS to verify its receipt.

I read that, but I didn't quite get it. I'm hoping someone who has done it recently can give me a step by step. Not sure how to forward scores, etc. Does it cost money?

Thanks!

What dsoz gave you was a step by step. You have to log into the AAMC Thx website, then go to transmit/send your score report. Then it asks you where you want it sent, and you pick AACOMAS. If I recall correctly its free. You have to enter your AAMC id number into your AACOMAS app.

Do I pick anything other than AACOMAS? Such as PCOM?

Nope - just AACOMAS. Schools might accept MCAT scores for other reasons (like for master's program applications), but for applying to DO schools, the only place you need to send them to is AACOMAS.

Thanks. It doesn't say exactly AACOMAS, right? It has it spelled out?

Also, should I enter the scores unofficially on the AACOMAS site?

Thanks again!

I can't remember how it's listed, but I'm sure you can find it. 🙂 Go ahead and list your unofficial scores - I think AACOMAS prefers that you do that.

I didn't report my 2nd MCAT scores to AACOMAS, do I have to? (2nd scorese were worse), Im taking the MCAT for a 3rd time soon.

You have to report all scores.

Once you update the score from your 3rd attempt the ones from your 2nd attempt will be on there.
