The 2008 Application Season Is About to Begin!
Medical school applicants will be able to access the 2008 editions of the centralized online application systems for M.D. and D.O. programs soon.
AMCAS, the medical school application service run by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), is scheduled to go online on May 3. Although not all application features may be available at that time, applicants should be able to register for accounts and to begin inputting their basic application information.
Almost all U.S. schools that award M.D. degrees use AMCAS. The significant exceptions are the 6 state-supported medical schools in Texas, which have their own centralized application system, known as TMDSAS; the University of North Dakota; and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
AACOMAS, the centralized application system for osteopathic medical schools, is scheduled to go online in June.
The personal statement is a major component of the primary essays that med school applicants submit through these centralized systems. It's important for applicants to remember that these essays will be seen by the admissions committee of every school the primary application is submitted to, whereas the personal statement submitted with a secondary application will be read at only one school.
