Hi,
I received mixed advices. My advisors said it's not really a big deal so I kinda forgot about it. It totally slipped off my mind while I was filling out my AMCAS.
I think my tickets were 2 in 2005 and 1 in 2007. Also, two accidents during a snowstorm.

Should I be worried about this?

you're ok they dont ask for moving violations.

you might have to report them on some secondaries, i think cincis the only one so far for me

AMCAS only asks for misdemeanors and felonies. Unless you got something like reckless driving, I kind of doubt you have anything above an infraction but it varies by state. Most schools, with the exception of Vermont out of the ones I'm applying to, explicitly say they do not want to know about traffic infractions, but do want to know about non-traffic infractions.

is this a serious question?

Yeah. Sorry I am just being neurotic I guess. The tickets did not show up in Certiphi09. So I guess it's alright...

Thanks a lot for your help guys!

Hey, did they ask you anywhere for speeding tickets? Vermont apparently does, but did you see it somewhere else?

cincy

Oh lol, I just realized that meant University of Cincinnati. I thought it was some kind of slang. So, Vermont and Cincy apparently don't like speeders.

OP, please let us know how it goes.

Thanks.
Dang the title sounds very misleading. How do you change it? 😕

If you left the "Speeding Tickets" section of your AMCAS blank, when a school inquires to Big Brother about your tickets, and finds out that you lied, you are blacklisted from every. single. med school. FOREVER.

Or you know, nothing comes of it.

They don't care.
