Is it just me, or have you guys been recieving more spam since youve applied to mstps? I noticed that I get some medically related spam from the army, but now I seem to be getting all sorts. I must have given my email away tens of times for the secondaries (and Im only about halfway through!).

Its not really a burden, my filter clears away almost everything, i just wonder who leaked it. I wish i created a new email for amcas, and one for each school, so I could have some sort of proof of where its all coming from. actually on second though, that would be a little too crazy.

Grrrr... I've gotten about 10 of those army emails. I finally emailed them back and said 'leave me alone I'm doing an MD/PhD.' They emailed me back and apologized 🙂
 
Really? Nothing like that has happened to me thus far... is there a school to which you two have applied but i have not?
 
I've got some of the military spam, but other than that, nothing.
