Learn About Sending Applications to Programs
You apply to programs using the NMS Match System. Each program can set its own application requirements and deadline date, but the default deadline date for most programs is October 28, 2025. You should check with a program's information in the CASPR Program Directory as soon as possible regarding its application requirements.
Required components of your application include a Personal Statement, CV, and requests for at least 3 letters of reference. Your college will need to provide information (transcripts, GPA, Clinicals, class rank, Dean's Letter if applicable) on your behalf that will be included in your application. You can submit your applications before the letters of reference and college material are received; your application will be updated automatically when they become available.
In order to submit your applications to programs, you will need to have passed the APMLE Part I examination. AACPM will obtain your Part I scores directly from APMLE based on the CMS ID you provide as part of your registration and will upload passing results directly to the NMS Match System.
Fee
There is a fee of $650 USD to register for CASPR.
The fee pays for your CASPR registration, credits to send applications to twelve (12) programs, and participation in both the Match and MPII, if necessary.
If you wish to send more than twelve applications, additional application credits can be purchased for $15 per application. Applicants who register for CASPR but do not obtain a position in the Match do not have to register again or pay an additional fee to participate in MPII.
The CASPR registration and application credit fees are non-refundable (even if you subsequently decide to withdraw from CASPR) and are not transferable to future years or other applicants.
