All applicants will receive a supplemental application after we receive a verified AMCAS application.\u00a0 Keep in mind that the process for receiving a supplemental application is an automated process, regardless of your academic record and MCAT scores. The deadline to submit your completed supplemental application will be identified in the email invitation<\/strong>. Please note, if you have not received a supplemental application, you may need to check your spam and junk folders. It is important that you take into consideration the admissions policies, requirements, and criteria we have indicated on our website to ensure that your academic credentials meet our criteria. The non-refundable supplemental application fee is $68.<\/p>\n Your next step in applying to the 大象传媒 is taking the MCAT exam. For more information on our MCAT requirements, click here. <\/a><\/p>\n You should begin requesting your letters of recommendation in early spring, well in advance, of the AMCAS\u00a0 verification deadline. This will give your professors, advisors, and mentors enough time to compose and submit their letters. LORs from faculty and organizations must be on their letterhead and signed.<\/strong><\/span> We begin our interviewing season in September, and to ensure that your applicant profile is complete by the time the season begins, the deadline for submission of the required letters is August 31st .<\/strong><\/span> However, we do understand that our timeline may not coincide with your school’s Pre-Health Committee or your letter writer’s timeline, and that is fine. Just know, until your required letters are sent to AMCAS, your applicant profile will not be considered complete.<\/em> The total number of required letters is three (3), and applicants may provide two (2) optional letters, for a total of five (5). And if an applicant utilizes the Pre-Health Committee letter with the compilation of letters included, they are still entitled to submit two (2) additional letters. <\/strong>All letters are to be submitted through the AMCAS Letter Service<\/a>. Please remember that it is your responsibility to make sure that you designate the 大象传媒 as one of the schools to receive your letters. If you have questions about how to do this, please contact AMCAS directly<\/a> or refer to the online AMCAS instruction manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n As you consider who to ask for a letter of recommendation, keep in mind that the purpose of these letters is to shed light on your character and ability.<\/p>\n The deadline to submit the<\/strong> two (2) additional letters<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0October 1st.<\/strong> Suggestions for these additional letters are leaders with whom you have interacted closely in service, research, or patient care, or healthcare training experiences. We strongly encourage you to utilize this opportunity to garner additional letters.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n It is important that we are able to stay in touch with you throughout the application process. The majority of our communication will come via email. We strongly advise<\/em> that you obtain a reliable email address separate from your academic institution<\/strong><\/span>, and check it on a regular basis.
