just received an "Expect a secondary!!" email from UAMS (Univ. of Arkansas). Typically, I think those emails are just a tease (Vandy, UPenn, Emory, I'm looking at you), but this one was just so entertaining I had to share:
Dear Medical School Applicant:
We are pleased to know that you are making application to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine. You should receive a Supplemental Application in the mail from us very soon. We are about to matriculate 174 spankin' brand new Freshmen and are excited about the next four years of their academic lives. But as we plan to turn that corner, we are already looking ahead to the class you hope to join. Please know that the Office of Admissions stands ready to help you through these sometimes convoluted steps of applying to med school.
Word of advice: just because your uncle's second cousin, twice removed on your mother's side, once knew a taxi cab driver whose youngest sister passed through Little Rock and talked to a Wal Mart clerk who met a customer who claimed to have applied to medical school and "he said...." Dont believe it. If you have any questions about the process, please contact us directly. We're here to serve you as you wind your way through the application process at the College of Medicine.
We will make offers of acceptance to 174 of you. We will also put a significant number of students on our alternate list. Additionally, we will consider a number of non-Arkansas residents for acceptance, providing their MCAT scores and GPAs are above our averages. Please know that we invite competive non-Arkansas applications, typically with MCAT scores at 28 and above and GPAs at 3.6 and above.
Furthermore, if you are Native American and are recorded in the tribal rolls, please email me and I'll send you our policy that allows for specific tribal members to pay in-state tuition if accepted as a non-Arkansas resident.
Now, a bit of housekeeping for the hired help. Please double check your complete preferred mailing name and address to insure that you have used standard English practices (that means upper and lower case letters!) in your contact information. We generate letters, mailing labels, filing labels, acceptance offers, financial aid award letters, etc., from this database. You really don't want your acceptance letter to arrive with your name in all lower case letters. We appreciate your attention to this small detail. It saves us hours in manually making these corrections.
If you haven't already reviewed our catalog, please do so at www.uams.edu/com/comcat/. We wish you the best in your pursuit of academic excellence. Press on!
😍 😍 I'm in love 😍 😍
