Applying Overview

Transcripts Overview

  1. If I applied to SMDEP last year, do I need to submit my transcripts again?

    Yes. The SMDEP program requires a new, up-to-date set of transcripts for each application year.

  2. If I applied to AMCAS or AADSAS this year, do I need to submit a set of transcripts for SMDEP?

    Yes. SMDEP, AMCAS and AADSAS are separate entities. To avoid processing conflicts, applicants must adhere to each program's guidelines.

  3. I'm a freshman and have not received my grades yet, can I send in my high school transcript?

    No. SMDEP does not accept high school transcripts. If you are a freshman in college and you have not received your first semester grades, please allow time for grades to be established before sending your transcripts to the National Program Office.

  4. Although I have attended several colleges, all of my coursework appears on my transcript from my primary college. Do I need to send transcripts from all the colleges or just my primary college?

    SMDEP requires a transcript from each institution you have attended, regardless of transfer credits. This guarantees a complete record of academic performance.

  5. Can I forward my own copy of my transcript?

    No. The SMDEP National Program Office must receive an official transcript directly from the registrar's office. Please print a copy of the SMDEP Transcript Matching Form on the SMDEP Web site, complete it, and forward it to your school(s) registrar's office.
