WebAdMIT for AMCAS uses Amazon Web Services (AWS). If your institution uses our WebAdMIT for AMCAS API, you may need to safe-list IP addresses to successfully run those API calls and receive imported files through AWS. You can share this full JSON file containing AWS's recommended IP list with your IT department so they can safe-list these addresses. Be aware that AWS may update these IP addresses as needed.
