Admissions

Admissions: Transcript Verification ~ NEW!
Students interested in podiatric medicine can now begin their application at https://portal.aacpmas.org or from the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine's homepage www.aacpm.org.

Several enhancements have been implemented for the 2010 application cycle, including:

• AACPMAS now requires applicants to list their entire academic record within the application. This is a change from prior reporting solely of required coursework.
• AACPMAS now requires applicants to send just one set of transcripts to the application service rather than sending transcripts to each of their designated schools and colleges of podiatric medicine. Students should not wait to complete their application before forwarding transcripts to AACPMAS. Official processing of the application can not begin until all transcripts have been received. Students should send all transcripts to:
  

  AACPMAS
  PO Box 9200
  Watertown, MA02471
  

• AACPMAS now has expanded sections for describing an applicant's podiatric shadowing, health care, employment and extracurricular experiences
• AACPMAS now requires that applicants provide their 8-digit MCAT/AAMC number that was assigned to them when they registered for their MCAT exam. AACPMAS must have this number in order to accurately match their MCAT scores to their AACPMAS application.
• AACPMAS will begin collecting data about race/ethnicity in compliance with U.S. Department of Education standards.
• A chart outlining which colleges accept electronic letters can be found within the application FAQs. OCPM requires hard copies of original letters be submitted directly to the Admissions Office at OCPM.
