The new application system will go live on May 5, 2015. To prepare for the launch of AACOM’s new application system, please be aware of the following important updates:
- We strongly encourage you to save/print off a copy of your current AACOMAS application in the event you plan to re-apply.
- The 2016 AACOMAS Application will not have the roll-over feature. Re-applicants will need to re-submit all transcripts. (This feature will resume in the 2017 AACOMAS cycle)
- Applicants may begin to apply to 2016 AACOMAS the first week of May 2015. As in previous cycles, COMs will not receive applications until mid-June.
- Letters of Recommendation: AACOMAS will now be able to receive and process letters of recommendation directly. Letters may still be received from Virtual Evals, Interfolio, and USPS mail.
- Military and foreign coursework will no longer be verified by AACOMAS nor included in the GPA. AACOMAS will still collect these transcripts and evaluations and make them available to the COMs for review. WES along with other foreign transcript evaluators will process these and forward them to AACOMAS.
More details about these changes are forthcoming. We will be communicating updates on our website: www.aacom.org , AACOMAS Facebook page, Twitter, and with our member medical schools. Should you have questions, please contact aacomas@aacom.org
