Withdraw AMCAS application

[superapps]

I got accepted to a program for matriculation in July very recently after being on a waitlist. Because I didn't know if I was accepted until just a few weeks ago, I submitted a 2022 AMCAS application and it was processed. But, now I want to withdraw it/don't want it to be sent to schools. Is there any way to do so? If not, should I just contact the school I added in AMCAS to let them know the situation?

Can’t you just withdraw on AMCAS? Look at AMCAS and see if you can. Congrats on the acceptance!

Thank you! You should be able to easily withdraw it, but apparently you can't if your application was already processed (which is stupid). So, I think I'll just have to contact the school.

Page 65 of the AMCAS Applicant Guide:

Withdrawing Your Application
Withdrawing your application is final and cannot be reversed. Once you do so, you may no longer apply for the current application year. To withdraw your AMCAS application from consideration, log in to the AMCAS application and select Withdraw Application on the right side of the Main Menu. This option is available only after submission when your application is in one of the following statuses: • Submitted to AMCAS–Ready for Review; • Submitted to AMCAS–Waiting for Transcripts; • Returned. The initial processing fee is nonrefundable, but you will receive a refund for each additional school designation whose deadline has not passed.

If you need to withdraw your application from consideration after your AMCAS application has been processed, you will need to contact directly the medical schools to which you applied. You are not eligible for an AMCAS refund in this case.
