After the initial submission of your AMCAS application, letter entries may not be deleted; instead, they may be designated as “No Longer Being Sent.” This can only be done if the letter has not been received by the AMCAS program. Log in to your application and go to the Letters of Evaluation section to make the designation:
- A notice above the letter descriptions reads as follows: “Medical schools need to know if you no longer plan on having specific letters sent to the AMCAS program. If one or more of your letters listed below is not going to be sent to the AMCAS program, select here.”
- Check the box next to the letter(s) that will not be sent to the AMCAS program. Be sure to select the correct Author and Letter ID combination from your application.
- You must read and acknowledge the following: “I understand that if the AMCAS program receives this letter at any time during this application cycle, the program will forward it to the medical school(s) that I have selected to receive this letter.” Then, select Save.
- To save these changes in your application, you must officially update your application. Changes will not be saved unless you officially update your application by selecting the Resubmit Application button on the Main Menu. Updating your application for this purpose will not cause processing delays or result in additional fees.
- The last column of the letter entry will now read “No Longer Sending.”
- Designating an entry as “No Longer Being Sent” does not remove a letter entry from your application.
