Attention all premeds! AAMC has just announced that many medical schools have extended their deadlines for applicants as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

Here’s the email they just sent:

Dear Applicants,

We hope that those of you affected by Hurricane Sandy are safe and dry.

We understand that many of you are in situations that would make it impossible for you to submit your AMCAS application to meet the November 1 application deadline. In consideration of these circumstances, some medical schools have extended their application deadline.

Updated deadline information will be available at www.aamc.org/amcasdeadlines and via social media as this information becomes available. If you need an extension beyond the date listed, please contact medical schools directly to make a request. [/dropshadowbox]

I’ll monitor this and keep you updated with any additional details as they occur.
