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.

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

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
