You must provide your letter author(s) with your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID to ensure your letters are matched correctly to your application.
- AMCAS Letter Writer Application: This application enables letter authors to upload PDF versions of a letter(s) securely to the AMCAS program. Your letter author will be required to register (if not previously registered) and will need your AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID in order to upload your letter(s). The ID numbers are found on the Letter Request Form.
- Interfolio: The AMCAS program can receive letters sent to Interfolio if you are an Interfolio user or your institution uses Interfolio to deliver evaluation letters. Authors should add the appropriate AAMC ID and AMCAS Letter ID to their Interfolio account; the IDs must accompany your letter for your letter to be matched to your application. It can take up to three business days for letters to be delivered to the AMCAS program. Instructions are provided below.
