Have you committed your AMCAS ID to memory?

Some time last year, I discovered I had inadvertently memorized my AMCAS ID. I seem to have retained that memorization over the application break, and I can rattle it off at will. Should I seek help?

Not if I were you. Just wait till you join med school, it will be like your new SSN and guys at bar would ask for your AAMC ID rather than your cell phone.. lol (assuming you're a girl)

You assume incorrectly.

I haven't used my AMCAS ID # since applying, but I still have it memorized.

You'll be using that mostly during application season. After that, it pretty much falls off the planet...

Incorrect!

You use the same ID for Step I, Step II and to apply to internships and residency

yeah i know mine for sure. i will always hold a special place in my heart for this number... not unlike the random numbers after my initials in my college email address 🙂

x2. Seems like wasted brain space right about now...

 

[Fighting Illini]

yeahh..i still remember mine...

Not only do I have my AMCAS ID memorized, but I also have my credit card # and 3-digit security code (on the back of the credit card) memorized...

Ditto.

i remember once asking my mom (i was probably like 9 or so and just getting into pop music) if all the song lyrics i had memorized would leave no room in my brain for the stuff i was supposed to be learning in school.

lol...I was thinking the exact same thing

 

[JJMrK]

Yep.

 

[DrYoda]

I haven't used it in a good 6 months and I still know it.

 

[UnfeatyOblation]

Yup. Inadvertantly.

Me too. Damn Ebay.

Haha me too. She lied and said there was no limit to how much information the human brain can hold. The thing is, she went to law school, and so she never had the opportunity to feel the inadequacy first-hand.

Kinda stuck in my brain after having to use it to log in to my second secondary.

lol. so owned.

 

[WilsonFan]

Me too. Damn Ebay.

More like, me too. Damn fricken expensive secondaries... after about the first 500 they drained from my life I had it down.

 

[BlueElmo]

I can recite my AMCAS ID and my credit card number and expiration date, in my sleep. I don't think I can ever forget these numbers.

 

[kac714]

this is pathetic, but i used my amcas id as a password for awhile... once i got in i also bought a lotto ticket with those numbers. i lost.

 

[RecyclingBinh]

Heck yes!!!! I know my AAMC + TMDSAS ID by heart.

I can cite them forwards, backwards, however you want it. This is what happens when you're on SDN too long and had filled out many secondaries and made numerous phone calls with an ID # as identification. 😀

 

[Myuu]

I've actually forgotten my AMCAS ID number... had to look it up the other day to fill out the MSQ...
