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
