Enter the information for the high school from which you graduated. If you attended more than one high school, include only the school from which you graduated.
The AAMC will provide medical schools with consistent, publicly available data about your high school from the National Center for Education Statistics Public School Search and the National Center for Education Statistics Private School Search.
If your high school does not have publicly available data, no information will be delivered to the medical schools about your high school. Additionally, the AAMC uses three years of data and may use imputations to calculate data when needed. This means that in cases where specific data points are missing, the AAMC may estimate or fill in these gaps using statistical methods. Applicants should be aware of this process as it ensures consistency in the information provided to medical schools.
