Letters of Recommendation
We request letters of recommendation with the secondary application. We prescreen primary AMCAS applications before making a request for a secondary application. When we request a secondary, we ask for a statement from the Pre-Medical Advisory Committee at your college or university, or, if non-existent, three letters of recommendation with at least two from faculty. One must have been written within the past 12 months. If you are in a post baccalaureate or graduate program, you are strongly encouraged to submit at least one letter from your post baccalaureate or graduate program. If applying to the MD/PhD program, at least one letter must be from a researcher. Letters of recommendation can be sent at any time via AMCAS and we will keep them on file until we review your primary application.
If your letters are being transmitted to the admission committee by your undergraduate advising office, it is possible that office is using VirtualEvals. Once your letters are posted to VirtualEvals, they will be downloaded by AMCAS and made available to us. If you have a question about whether or not your advising office uses VirtualEvals, please contact your undergraduate advising office.
