The Little Card

A professor of medicine told me to let her know when i applied to medical school. she said "send me an email when you receive the little card." What little card was she referring to? Does AMCAS send us a card once we are verified? Or do the schools send it to us? I am clueless and embarrased to ask her.

someone shed some light on my confusion.


thanks

Umm... "the little card" that she got when she was applying to med school? (n number of years ago)

I've never heard of little cards.

The little card saying you've been accepted somewhere?

It has to do with the application process, either at the amcas stage or secondary stage. maybe she meant something else. i am lost.

Back in the bad old days when you had to type your AMCAS application and mail it in, you got little postcards from each school telling you that they had received your application.

God, I feel old.

ah ha, this must be it. she is older so i guess she wants me to tell her when they send the school sends me the secondary (since this is the only way we find out that they have received our app from amcas).

I'm getting a sense from these responses that people used to communicate with each other before the internet somehow? What is this "mail" you speak of? How did correspondence get from one physical location to another?
