I can't seem to find this seemingly-obvious information, but I just wanted to make sure. Sending updates, letters of interest, and in-the-area notices should be emailed to the admissions office email address?

Would the admissions office add any email and file that you send them with your name and AAMC ID to your application folder for futher review? The reason why I ask is because I didn't receive any reply to some of my emails to a number of medical school admissions offices; they don't always seem receptive to emails...

1) Most schools list an email somewhere on the secondary or within an email they send you. If its not there, there its probably listed somewhere on their website.

2) Some schools will, some schools won't. Most schools specifically say they accept updates if they do and where to send them.

3) If schools responded to every email they got, they would never get any work done.

For schools that do accept updates or letters of interest, any important emails or attachments that you send to their admissions office email address technically SHOULD be added to your file? What if the admissions office doesn't respond to your email...

If the school explicitly states that they do not accept updates prior to interview they probably won't respond to updates via email or other means.

Did you ask a question in the email? If not, I would not expect a reply. Even if you did ask a question, I probably would not expect a reply unless it was a vital importance to your application.

I guess what I'll do a few days after I send an important document without a reply is phone them to make sure that it's been added to my file.
