Are applicants allowed to mail transcripts for amcas

According to the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) website, applicants can submit transcripts in one of two ways:

1. Electronic Transcripts: AMCAS accepts electronic transcripts directly from the institution. This is the preferred method, as it ensures that the transcript is received and processed quickly and accurately. To submit electronic transcripts, applicants should contact their institution's registrar or transcript office to request that they send the transcript to AMCAS.
2. Paper Transcripts: AMCAS also accepts paper transcripts, but only if the institution does not offer electronic transcripts or if the applicant is unable to obtain an electronic transcript. Paper transcripts should be sent to AMCAS at the following address:

American Medical College Application Service 5100 Backlick Road Suite 300 Springfield, VA 22151

However, it's important to note that AMCAS does not accept transcripts that are mailed by the applicant themselves. Transcripts must be sent directly from the institution to AMCAS.

It's also important to check with your institution to confirm their transcript submission policies and deadlines, as they may have specific requirements or restrictions.
