Click the subject line to view the content of the email. If the email includes an attachment, you can download the attachment to view it.

Email Statuses
Once you send emails in WebAdMIT for AMCAS, you can track email statuses. These statuses include:
- Bounced: the message was rejected by the recipient’s email server; you should verify the recipient’s email address. Contact the Client Support Specialist team at aamcwebadmitsupport@liaisonedu.com for further assistance.
- Clicked: the recipient received the message, opened it, and clicked a link or image.
- Deferred: the message was not sent and is in queue for redelivery.
- Delivered: the recipient’s email server received the message; however, this does not indicate that the applicant opened or viewed the message. The recipient may have recently changed their email address, or they may have rules or junk mail settings enabled that prevent the email from reaching the inbox. Applicants are encouraged to maintain updated contact information and disable junk mail filters.
- Dropped: the email provider is preventing delivery of the message. Messages are typically dropped when they contain an invalid or non-existent email address, or when the recipient marks a previous WebAdMIT for AMCAS message as spam. Contact the Client Support Specialist team at aamcwebadmitsupport@liaisonedu.com. Additionally, you may want to confirm with the recipient that you have the correct address and that they added donotreply@webadmit.org to their "safe senders" list.
- Failed: the message was not sent. Contact the Client Support Specialist team at aamcwebadmitsupport@liaisonedu.com for further assistance.
- Opened: the recipient received the message and opened it.
- Sent: the message is being processed for delivery to the recipient.
- Spam Report: the recipient reported the email as spam.
- Unknown: the status of the email can’t be determined. This status typically appears for recently sent emails and is replaced by another status within 24 hours.
Some emails will remain indefinitely in a status of Sent or Delivered if the recipient’s email server fails to process read receipts.
Email Troubleshooting
In some cases, emails sent through WebAdMIT may not reach their intended recipient. This can occur even if the email status is listed as Delivered, as the Delivered status simply indicates these emails have been successfully delivered to the recipient's email server.
After being delivered, emails may still be restricted or quarantined by the recipient's email server. IT teams can help resolve this issue by completing the following actions:
- Safe-list our sender IP address (167.89.98.50) and our sender email address (donotreply@webadmit.org), and
- Check SPAM traps and quarantines.
