[Harvardocs-medschool-applicants-list] [2023] Ordering your Harvard transcript, AAMC AMCAS Transcripts FAQs and tools

Dear applicants, As many of you have let us know, the link to the 'Transcripts' page on the FAS Registrar's Office's website in our Completing the 2023 AMCAS application webinar and slide deck is broken (our sincere apologies - the link did work on 4/22 when we held the webinar, but the Registrar's Office updated their page shortly thereafter). If you arrive on the broken link, you are actually on the Registrar's page, and you can click on 'home' from there and then click on 'Transcripts'). The correct link can be found in the FAQ section at https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/amcas, under the heading Ordering & Sending Harvard Transcripts to AMCAS For instructions about how to obtain your official Harvard transcript, please see the FAS Registrar's Office instructions.<https://registrar.fas.harvard.edu/transcripts> If a school has placed a financial hold on your transcripts, AMCAS will not grant an exception under any circumstances. Important: Some of you have also asked if your House will order and send your transcript to AMCAS/your medical schools. Although your House Premed Committee requires you to send them your Harvard transcript, that is for their records and purposes only. Your House will not send your transcript to AMCAS or to the medical schools you are applying to. The correct way to transmit your Harvard transcript (and any other required transcripts you may need to request from other post-secondary schools you may have attended and taken courses at), is to order the transcript/s from within your AMCAS app (this is done in the section of your app called "Schools attended" - after adding Harvard University, you will be asked if you want to request a transcript from this school, to which you will answer 'yes'; you are then issued a Transcript ID: you will enter this ID, plus your AAMC ID, when you order your Harvard transcript via Parchment (uploading the PDF of your Transcript Request form into Parchment is optional and not necessary); all instructions and steps for how to order your Harvard transcript are provided on the FAS Registrar's page and on the Parchment platform). The following AAMC pages are helpful for transcript ordering, status, processing times, and how to contact AMCAS if you think there is a problem with your transcript request/status/receipt by AMCAS: * https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/faq/amcas-faq?t… * https://students-residents.aamc.org/how-apply-medical-school-amcas/amcas-tr… * See this AAMC AMCAS webinar for detailed step-by-step instructions: https://students-residents.aamc.org/amcas-tools-and-tutorials/amcas-tools-a… - scroll down to locate vimeo recording called "Navigating the 2023 AMCAS Application Cycle for Applicants" - instructions for the schools attended section, incl how to order transcripts, begin 13:11 minutes in to the video ("This session will prepare applicants for the 2023 AMCAS application cycle, including a walkthrough of the AMCAS application and available AMCAS resources.)
