I’m getting feedback from some medical school applicants that this year’s AMCAS verification process is taking longer than many candidates had hoped. According to the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), applicants should expect a wait of up to six weeks from the initial “Ready to Review” status post-submission to complete processing. To check on your AMCAS status, you can go to the Main screen of the application and click on the “Status” link on the left hand side.

You can send questions to AMCAS@aamc.org. I’ve found the response time to be quite fast.
