Members do not see this ad.

i got the first e-mail from certiphi saying that a school i applied to uses their program and that i should expect an e-mail from them later or something.

Is there any significance to the timing of this e-mail? I mean, if I didn't interview somewhere would I not have gotten this e-mail?

Did I get accepted and not know it or something? 😎

You probably have an acceptance coming since schools don't waste resources on waitlistees or rejectees.

to clarify though: here's the e-mail I received. It's NOT a request for a background check but it's a e-mail saying I might get one.

John Quincy Adams,

As you were notified in the AMCAS application, you have applied to at least
one medical school that is participating in an AMCAS-facilitated national
background check service, through which Certiphi Screening, Inc. (a Vertical
Screen? Company) will procure for participating medical schools a national
background report on applicants at the point of initial, conditional
acceptance. In our first year of this service, ten medical schools have
agreed to participate in order to assist the AAMC with this new endeavor.

Upon your initial, conditional acceptance by a participating medical school,
or upon request by a participating medical school that adds you to its
alternate list, Certiphi Screening, Inc. will send an email with additional
information to your preferred email address. To ensure that you meet this
requirement, please:

* Ensure that your preferred email address is up to date at all times
* Add [email protected] as a trusted email sender

For additional information, including details regarding the consumer report
to be procured, go to our web site at http://www.applicationstation.com.

me thinks thats different. the actual request to do the check is probably much more correlated with being accepted

I think everyone gets that email at some point. I did, and its different from the other email you get when you get an acceptance.

I'm really starting to hate these threads. We should have a running counter of how many background check threads we have going that ask the same thing. "I got/didn't get a background check email!!! What does this mean???"

I agree... I received the exact same email one week before I received an acceptance letter in the mail. Good Luck!
