How long did it take for YOU to memorize your amcas ID#?

[marq_bme]

about 4 days....damn im obsessive with apps

 

[relatively prime]

about a month!!

 

[Adcadet]

I refuse to memorize mine. I keep copying and pasting it to wherever I need it.

(hmm...now that I think about it, I nearly do have it memorized...damn AMCAS!)

a few days after apps started coming in!!

 

[chopsuey]

I can't UN-memorize mine, and I have absolutely no use for it anymore. Watch out - AMCAS messes with you head.

 

[nylee]

I'm right there with you, Jess! In fact, sometimes, I can still log on to the USC website and subconsciously type in my AMCAS ID to see my status from last year!

That's one number I will never forget!

 

[smilez428]

so funny so funny!

i had a little debacle with memorizing the WRONG ID number. Boy did that suck a lot. Had to call all of the darn schools and fix my error. good thing i realized it now!

now i have the right one memorized, one day after figuring out the real one

Dudes/dudettes....I still remember mine! It's 11XXXXXX. I hadn't even thought about it in forever...

foe real.
it's a part of my identity now, just like my social security number.

Unfortunately I had it memorized fairly quickly because I had to enter it on MSU's status check page. I still remember the darn thing.

haven't done it....and probably won't do it

 

[jot]

hah- i have to log into amcas everytime i need it - i suppose memorizing it woudl be easier ... but i doubt that is goign to happen- who needs another useless string of numbers? just think of how many you already have destroying old memories of your childhood - amcas # could take out all knowledge of your favorite kickball or something

It took me like 2 weeks of cutting/pasting before i finally just memorized it. i used the following convention: 12-345-678 to remember it. just realized i could have also used the ssn format of 123-45-6789, or a telophone number 1-234-5678 (pretend it's like u're dialing #9 to reach an outside number).

 

[DrBravesgirl]

i had it down cold by the time the 2nd online secondary came in...got tired of cutting and pasting. now i've made it a little song. i really need a vacation.

i logged in to the UCSF status page around 400 times in the first 10 minutes after submitting AMCAS "just to see"....that pretty much burnt it into my memory

 

[imtiaz]

who cares?

unfortunately i recently realized i have the dumb thing memorized. yuck! but hey, it's easier than logging onto amcas everytime to copy and paste it.
