Anyone get this email today?

[Tony2009]

I got an email yesterday or today that went to my hotmail junk mail folder with the title "Interested in medical school?". It also had a big attachment with it. My hotmail account screwed up and deleted it before I could read it, so I was just curious if it was spam or something important. The return address was ADMISSIONS@...? not sure the rest, it was a four letter abreviation I think. Anyone else get this and open it?

I did...it is from kirksville -- a DO school

 

[Davina3000]

Spam.

I got the same one. It was from Kirksville asking us to consider applying to Osteo schools, including theirs. Nothing important

 

[jlgettin]

I received the same e-mail. Nothing important, unless your interested in going to a DO school.

 

[Hersey]

Worse still, whoever sent it has never heard of "Bcc", so now about three hundred random knuckleheads have your email address.

 

[Geronimo]

Yep, that was a mistake. Never a good idea to give out people's email addresses like that. Privacy violation. Techinically, I suppose we could get a large class action law suit and complain if we start getting spam as a result, right? I guess that might not be wise . Anyway, I think they got those emails from people who have requested information. It says something about listing friends who may also be interested in their school on the "information" website.

 

[Tony2009]

I guess I didn't miss anything. Thanks for letting me know so I don't obsess over missing important info.

I rec'd that email and I did NOT request it. Furthermore, it went to an account which is NOT associated with my application process.

Spam.

 

[DoctorMalki]

yeah I got that email too but my email had nothing in it. It was just blank

 

[rockstar2525]

I feel like sending that email (particularly without bcc) was a really bad move on their part, and for the reputation of DO schools. What school has to cold call applicants and beg them to apply? I wonder if what the AOA thinks of that?

 

[UCLAstudent]

Yeah, it was blank for me, too.

 

[brats800]

deleted it too

 

[drguy22]

yes it was blank for me too...hit the delete button.
