AAPI Program User Guide

This guide provides you with documentation, reference guides, and direct links that answer common admissions questions about the AAPI Applicant Portal and Outcomes. It also contains resources that may help you work more efficiently throughout your admissions process. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please contact a member of your account team.

Cycle Timeframes

Applicant Portal

The Applicant Portal opens in mid-July and closes in early July. You can view the specific cycle dates, including final processing dates (e.g., last date to submit transcripts, last date to request letters of recommendation, etc.), on the AAPI Application Cycle Dates page.

You can view new applicants in early October.

Program Participation Requirements

APPIC requires all programs to designate two contacts at your institution who will receive all communication from APPIC and AAPI, including the application and Outcomes launch notifications.

Applicant Portal

The first three sections of the AAPI application (i.e., Personal Information, Academic History, and Supporting Information) compose the core application. They contain questions that are commonly asked of applicants across all participating programs, such as an applicant's biographic information, standardized test scores, and experiences. The fourth section of the application is Program Materials, which is customized by you through the Configuration Portal (discussed in the next section).

You can access the AAPI application and AAPI Applicant Help Center to review the applicant experience. You can also create a test application in the Applicant Portal; we recommend creating a new account and adding "test" to your name (e.g., TestJohn TestDoe).

For a general overview of the applicant experience, review the following documents:
