"Dead sdhere1234,
We received notification of your intention to apply to medical school based upon your decision to participate in the AAMC Medical Minority Applicant Registry."
Confused as to why since Asisns are not considered minorities in medicine, I looked up the registry and found this...
Who Is Eligible to Participate?
You are eligible if (a) you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. National, a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States (“Green Card” holder), or have been granted refugee/asylum or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status by the U.S. government, and (b) you are economically disadvantaged or of low socio-economic status (SES), or you self-identify as a member of a racial or ethnic group historically underrepresented in medicine--African-American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.
So is this just a mistake on AMCAS? I double checked my application and I have "Asian" selected for self identification and I also opted out of being considered a "disadvantaged applicant"
Any ideas?
