Sharing your applicant IDs with our office
Once you have a) submitted your Applicant Portfolio (though not necessarily completed your Applicant Coaching Session yet), and b) notified us through submitting the Health Professions Letter Packet application that ALL of your individual letters of recommendation have been received, office staff will move your Letter Packet application into the ID Submission stage. You will be notified by the Quest Portal system when this change has occurred. Navigate to the Health Professions Letter Packet application in the Quest Portal and click “Start.” Next, select “Application IDs” under “Your Tasks” (see screenshot below).
The Application IDs form will prompt you to enter any and all applicable IDs for the application services to which you are applying.
AMCAS [MD] applicants:
We will need two IDs—your AAMC ID and your AMCAS Letter ID.
AACOMAS [DO] applicants:
We will need one ID—your AACOMAS ID.
AADSAS [Dental] applicants:
We will need one ID—your AADSAS ID.
TMDSAS [Texas medical & dental] applicants:
We will need one ID—your TMDSAS ID.
Be sure to mark the form as complete AND submit the form when you have entered all applicable IDs. This moves the Letter Packet application into the IDs Submitted stage, allowing the office to prepare your letter packet for submission. Please enter your IDs in a timely fashion or there may be a delay in our office submitting your letter packet.
