The Biographic Information section captures details such as your contact information, citizenship, legal residence, language proficiency, self-identified ethnicity and race, parent(s) or guardian(s), siblings, dependents, and any criminal convictions. While some of this information may be used by schools for research and reporting purposes, it also helps admissions officers gain a deeper understanding of your journey and background. This context provides insight into the experiences that may have shaped your path to medical school and may resonate with the mission and values of individual institutions, supporting their goals in advancing health care and serving their communities.
Please note: Email is the primary mode of communication among you, the AMCAS program, and medical schools. We recommend entering the email address you check most often, during and after the application process.
