How to Apply to the Ohio State College of Medicine
Once you have completed all of the requirements for admission, your application begins with the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). AMCAS is a non-profit, centralized application processing service available only to applicants entering their first year at participating medical schools.
There are nine sections of the AMCAS, you will be asked to provide background information, course work, work experience and extracurricular activities and letters of evaluation. In the seventh section of the application you will be asked to enter all of the schools you wish to apply to, here you will designate The Ohio State University College of Medicine as one of your schools of choice. After this step you will submit essays, standardized test scores then certify and submit your application.
