Ok, can anyone help me out with WTF just happened? FIU is the only school I am under consideration at that participates in the AAMC Certiphi Criminal Background Check. I received an email this morning saying I had a conditional *acceptance* to one or more schools that participated. I called up to FIU to confirm/investigate and they said, "Hmm, we don't know. You're still on the waitlist, don't expect any movement for a couple of weeks, ttyl".
WTF!?! It's infuriating enough to have to jump through all of their hoops, why would I get an email when it's not even true. Did FIU screw up or am I under a false impression with the CBC?
