Secondary Information
In addition to the AMCAS application, our admissions process includes a secondary application specific to the UTHSC College of Medicine. Once we have received a verified application from AMCAS, a select group of applicants will be sent a link to complete the secondary application.
Applications for admission are not considered complete until the secondary application has been received. Important notes:
- Any omissions will delay the processing of your application
- The fee for the secondary application is $100.
- Please refer to the instructions in the UTHSC College of Medicine online secondary application.
The UTHSC College of Medicine utilizes WebAdMIT as our applicant gateway tool for communication, scheduling, and information sharing. If you do not see the secondary application invitation in your Inbox, spam filters may be the cause. Your email service provider may have flagged the email as spam for your account or at a system level. To resolve, check your Spam or Junk Email folder. If found, move the email to your inbox and add the sender address to your list of approved senders. The address you need to add is ‘donotreply@webadmit.org’.
Falsification of Documentation
Applicants who receive the Secondary Application must understand any intentional misrepresentation of any information contained in the submission may result in a denial of the complete application.
Prospective Students Must Meet Minimum Technical Standards
The College of Medicine Committee on Admissions will consider for admission applicants who demonstrate the ability to perform or to learn to perform the essential skills listed in theTechnical Standards for Medical Students page. The College must ensure that patients are not placed in jeopardy by students or physicians with substantially impaired intellectual, physical, or emotional functions. Students will be evaluated not only on their scholastic accomplishments, but also on their ability to meet the full requirements of the school's curriculum, with or without accomodation, and to graduate as skilled and effective practitioners of medicine.
AAMC Recommendations for Medical School Applicant
To ensure that applicants are afforded timely notification of the outcome of their medical school applications and timely access to available first-year positions and that schools are protected from having unfilled positions in their entering classes, you are asked to read the recommendations promulgated by the Association of American Medical Colleges [AAMC]. These recommendations are being distributed for the information of prospective medical students, their advisors and personnel at the medical schools to which they have applied.
Pre-Professional Evaluation Letters and Letters of Recommendation
AMCAS accepts letters of Evaluation/Recommendation for participating medical schools. This service enables medical schools to receive all letters electronically via AMCAS and enables your authors to send all letters to be considered by schools participating in this service to AMCAS rather than each school.
