* @ribonucleoprotein when they see an "Unsubscribe from this newsletter" button.

I have an irrational fear that they will know that I have unsubscribed and they count it against me haha

Members don't see this ad.

If I just finished my 3rd year of undergrad, and have 84 credits, will they automatically reject me since it is not 90 credits? I still have one more year...

From what I saw on another post, yes, the 90 credits does not include future credits. However I would email the school and ask to make sure.

I just called. They said it is ok if you are still in university doing course work!

 

[BigSneed]

It was absolutely diabolical for them to send that newsletter💀

 

[SushiSphinx]

I didn’t get a newsletter.. does this they rejected me guys 😥 /s

 

[roadtomd1]

So, if I'm not getting newsletters, is that a bad thing? I just don't want to miss any communication from them, and I haven't unsubscribed from anything.

Honestly, they probably got our emails from people who authorized AAMC to release our score to other schools and to reapplicants or something. I never subscribed to them this year and I got them (come to think of it, I haven't subscribed to any newsletters...)

There is no penalty or disadvantage to those who do not receive them.

7. Is there anything else you would like the admissions committee to know when reviewing your application? If so, please use the space provided (1000 characters).
8. Describe what aspect of that experience best equips you to make an impact in the medical profession (1000 characters, applicant will choose one of their AMCAS activities from the list)
can anyone comment on what the second prompt is referring to? What is "that" experience?

"In the "Work and Activities" section on your AMCAS application, you provided the following list of experiences. Please select the experience that you feel has been the most meaningful in influencing your desire to pursue a career in medicine, explain why, and also describe what aspect of that experience best equips you to make an impact in the medical profession."

#8 is referring to the single activity you select

[DougEFreshh]

Good ole +1 OOS Newsletter titled “Admissions” 😵‍💫

+1. This email nearly sent me to the cath lab.

 

[husky12345]

i was also gonna say the news letter with "admissions" in the title gave me a heart attack

I love how they give a little personalized blurb at the end though haha

You know someone somewhere wrote this up and was like oh this will make them feel special:

“%applicantID=%,
We have begun sending Interview invites….”

Oh, totally, haha. Especially because they know all our hearts skipped a beat for a second 🤣

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

They put "Newsletter" in the subject, though, and it is also Sunday. I think some of you need to have your hearts examined!

i didn't get a duplicate one, so that prob means it was an II they meant to send to you, but they sent the wrong email -- they'll send it tmw tho

(let me be delusional)

[BiomedEGR777]

+1 for the OOS dupe newsletter must be a sign 🤩

 

[tinkertots23]

OOS newsletter. And got the duplicate too! Honestly they're kinda cute and at least they're updating applicants somewhat

They can be cute and not use the admissions email, just use a generic one so that there's no heart attack every single time they send out the letter

 

[hopefulpremed1923]

round 3! let's hear it for round 3 of the newsletter!

 

[Ray4141]

This is getting ridiculous hahaha

 

[futuresurg613]

:///

 

[dolephant]

They're j trolling atp. I've gotten 3 August 2024 newsletters. IDC what happens in the school until I get a II.

 

[Bubs22]

Third newsletter...

 

[husky12345]

I didn't get the third newsletter yet, should I email admissions??

/s

 

[BiomedEGR777]

this is insane lmao. im 4 news letters in and no IIs what are they doing

 

[shadysensei]

Three August 2024 newsletters? Sheesh, Albany, didn't know you wanted me this bad.

 

[Breadman10]

I got the third duplicate newsletter a few minutes after my friend who is also applying. Should I email admissions or just rescind my application altogether??

 

[sensorimotorstage]

I’d love an II instead of FOUR newsletters

 

[EpigeneticPlasmid]

Only got 1 newsletter

It's SO over...

 

[thegoat05]

I’d love an II instead of FOUR newsletters

idk, it is kind of like a game at this point. How many August newsletters can we obtain before II or R? Three and counting, stay tuned... /s

 

[husky12345]
