Submitting transcript to AMCAS

Hey all,

Just wondering is the earliest I can submit my transcripts to AMCAS?

I know that you can submit your primaries in the beginning of June. But I'm just wondering if it's possible to submit my TRANSCRIPTS earlier?

I have attended more than one college which means I'll have transcripts coming from multiple places. For my home institution, I need to wait till my final grades are in, but for schools I've taken classes at, there is no need to wait. Just wondering if I can send those in earlier.

Also, does the transcript need to come directly from the school? Or can I send it to them?

Transcripts & MCAT Scores

1. Missing, incomplete and unmatchable transcripts are the number one reason for processing delays.
   To prevent these delays from occurring, applicants should use the AMCAS Transcript Request form, available within the AMCAS application, when requesting that official transcripts (OTs) be sent to AMCAS in support of their application. This form, which registrars submit to AMCAS alongside the requested OTs, includes the AAMC ID, the Alternate ID identified by the applicant as being used by the transcript-issuing institution, and other information helpful to the matching process.
2. When are transcripts due?
   AMCAS accepts transcripts starting on or about May 3. Transcripts are due 14 calendar days after the deadline date. For example, if School A's application deadline is October 15, their transcript deadline is October 29.
   Exception: Transcripts in support of an Early Decision Program (EDP) application are due on August 1, the EDP application deadline.
3. Can I send an official sealed copy of my transcripts?
   AMCAS will not accept transcripts from applicants under any circumstances. Transcripts must arrive directly from the Registrar's office. Registrars should forward transcripts to: AMCAS, Attn: Transcripts AAMC Medical School Application Services, P.O. Box 57326, Washington, DC, 20037.
