As the 2021-22 medical school application process ramps up, I want to remind candidates about the Association of American Medical Colleges' (AAMC) Fee Assistance Program (FAP) and Insider Medical Admissions' available discount for those with a current FAP. The FAP is designed to offer help to individuals with financial limitations who cannot pay the MCAT registration or AMCAS application fees without financial support.
If you think you are eligible, it's worth applying for an FAP grant early: If an applicant submits his/her AMCAS prior to receiving a decision on his/her FAP application, that candidate will be ineligible to receive the FAP for the AMCAS. In other words, the candidate will not receive a refund.For more information on the FAP, please click here. I offer reduced rates for applicants demonstrating financial hardship through a current AAMC FAP grant. After researching the issue, I believe Insider is the only medical consulting company that currently supports a discount for FAP grant recipients. (I apologize if I'm missing a company.) Once you have been granted the FAP and thus, can prove receipt, please feel free to contact me for more information.
