Please read the following items carefully:
- Applicants are invited to complete the Supplemental Application after receipt of the AMCAS application has been acknowledged with an invitation to access the "Applicant Gateway" on WebAdMIT.
- Please note: Emails from AMCAS (regarding payment and Supplemental Application completion) go to the “permanent email address.” Emails from WebAdMIT and the Applicant Gateway go to the “Permanent email address" as well. If you would like to change the email to which acknowledgements are sent, your AMCAS application must be revised to reflect the correct email. Applicants who experience difficulty accessing the Supplemental Application, or who have problems with submitting their fees should call WebAdMIT Support at 617-612-2881.
- The Einstein AMCAS deadline is October 15. The Supplemental Application and fee, and supporting documentation must be received by December 1. Completion of the Supplemental Application does not mean that the entire application is complete. The application is complete only when MCAT scores have been received, in addition to evaluations and Supplemental Application and fee. AMCAS sends reminders to applicants if letters are not received. Applicants are responsible for communicating with AMCAS in a timely manner, otherwise the application will be delayed or not reviewed.
- Applicants who have completed two prior applications are ineligible to apply.
- Prior to submitting a Supplemental Application, all applicants should read and consider the Class Profile and the Technical Standards links found on the admissions website.
- Please be certain that your application has been completed properly by checking: Completion Checklist
- When the application is complete, notification will be made via e-mail.
Applicants who apply to the M.D./Ph.D. program (MSTP) who decide afterward that they would prefer the M.D. program, must notify both the M.D. admissions office and the M.D./Ph.D. office, in writing. They then must be interviewed and evaluated by the M.D. admissions committee. This requirement applies also to accepted M.D./Ph. D. applicants.
Fee Waiver
Applicants may be eligible for an application fee waiver from AMCAS and for a fee reduction for the MCATs.
Please refer to: AAMC.org. Only applicants who have been granted a fee waiver (FAP) by AMCAS will be granted a Supplemental Application fee waiver by Einstein.
Application Fee
The Supplemental Application fee is $120.00 and will be collected via the Applicant Gateway on WebAdMIT, immediately following the completion of the Supplemental Application. Please note that AMEX is not accepted by TouchNet. Applicants who have a problem remitting the fee should contact WebAdMIT at 617-612-2881.
Applicant Issues on the WEBADMIT Applicant Gateway:
- If applicants are getting a “not authorized” error message, they need to clear their Browser cache and then close their browser. This issue can also appear for applicants with multiple medical school’s gateways available to them and open in multiple browser tabs. The system only allows one gateway open at a time and will throw this error if the applicant is trying to open multiple gateways at one time.
- When applicants click the correct link they will be directed to the AAMC sign-in screen. If they do not see this screen, they are not using the correct link.
- The last point of confusion for applicants is where to direct inquiries related to Applicant Gateway log-in issues. If the applicant can’t access the Applicant Gateway, after following the above instructions, they should contact Applicant Support at Liaison; their contact phone number is 617-612-2881. Liaison will be able to support the applicant to determine the issue and support them until they gain access.
- If an applicant cannot remember their AAMC username and password, or needs a password reset, they can contact the AAMC Services Contact Center at amcas@aamc.org or 202-828-0600 for help.
