    Anybody else list experiences in ERAS under the wrong category?

    Hi everyone, I submitted my ERAS application this Sunday, and NOW I notice I put a good amount of experiences under the wrong category. I proofread my experiences multiple times on different days and thought I was careful. I don't know how I overlooked the category originally selected. Now I am...

    ERAS mistake - did I mess this up badly?

    I applied for neuro a few weeks ago and got one interview call. Today, I received an email from a director at a hospital I applied to pointing out that I messed up the city in my address - I wrote '(city in Florida), CA'. The city is my hometown, and I currently live in CA. I don't know how I...

    MAJOR AMCAS HOURS MISTAKE

    I made a major mistake on my AMCAS. For my most recent employment, I meant to write 1600 hours but instead wrote 6600 hours. I did not realize the mistake until I was going through my primary while working on secondaries. Obviously, this isn't something that will be missed by many medical...

    MISTAKE ON AMCAS PRIMARY - what to do?

    So I accidentally listed one of my experiences as "paid-medical/clinical" when it should have been "paid-Non-medical/clinical". I have over 800 hours in this experience, and I don't want adcoms to think I am trying to claim more medical/clinical experience than I have. Should I email individual...

    Submitted blank essay on AMCAS. Help!!

    I know I'm gonna get a lot of well-deserved hate for this, but I was reviewing my work/activities section because one of my secondary apps requires me to re-enter that info and I found out that none of my essays saved on one of my activities that I marked as "most meaningful." Does anyone have...

    CAN I RE-SUBMIT THIS CYCLE IF I WITHDRAW BEFORE VERIFICATION? this is probably the most pathetic thing you will read. I submitted my aacomas last week. I now downloaded the application as pdf to read through it and found 6 mf typos in my activities sections like a random "i" or period or wrong...

    What kind of mistakes have you made on placement? HELP!!

    So I'm in 4th year and I've completed 13 weeks of Clinical Placement so far. Today, I injected a cat with 10x the correct dose of Meloxicam...and I am really struggling. The cat is ok at the moment (being flushed with fluids, and it's a stray cat, not one with an owner), but I am beating myself...

    Do I let the admissions committee know that I made a dumb mistake?

    So I wrote the essays and submitted the fee for my University of Chicago secondary application months ago, but just today realized that I never hit that crucial "submit application" button. I feel like an idiot and I assume that the school is going to think I'm a huge slacker and pass me over...

    Mistake on AADSAS after verification

    My AADSAS has been verified since the summer. Last night, as I was preparing to add another "achievement" to that section on my AADSAS application, I had an unfortunate slip of the finger resulting in me submitting an empty achievement titled "e". No description. Nothing. After emailing AADSAS...

    AMCAS Mistake - New Applicant but hit "Reapplicant" for 2 schools

    The title pretty much says it all. I've already emailed them, but I was hoping for some insight on how much this will delay/prevent receiving secondaries. Any advice or experience you've had would be great! EDIT: App has already been processed too.

    Possible mistakes in a LOE

    I recently received a LOE from my research PI and all seemed well. I had previously asked him about a friend of his who is a doctor in a very rural part of the state because I was interested in shadowing him. However, this doctor is no longer practicing, so he sent out some emails to try and...

    Grade Change After Interview

    I updated a bunch of schools with the final grades from my grad program and have since received an interview invite from one of the schools I updated. Recently, I was made aware that an "A" I received was meant to be recorded as a "B+": all of this AFTER I already sent my updates. Obviously I...

    Worried I Might Lose My Spot

    I have had 1 II and have been accepted to one MD school this cycle. I don't have any other II and don't realistically expect one at this point (borderline applicant, ORM, this is my state school). I made a mistake on my AMCAS that I didn't notice until after it had been verified. I listed my...

    Random question: accidental acceptance?

    Just out of curiosity, has a med school ever accidentally accepted an applicant and then had to say "jk that was a mistake?"

    AMCAS formatting problem

    I went back and looked at my AMCAS personal statement....and I realized its ALL ONE BIG BLOB AND NO PARAGRAPHS. I worked extremely hard and I thought it was a great essay. However, now that I see its like this I'm afraid medical schools will overlook me from the get go. Any advice??

    Mistake on AMCAS - Volunteer Hours/Paid

    While reviewing my AMCAS for one of my secondaries I noticed I accidentally labeled a previous job as "Community Service/Volunteer - Not Medical/Clinical." It was a paid job. Somehow I missed this mistake when proofreading my app. I'm worried that this will be a red flag b/c it could look as...

    Your biggest pre-med mistake

    For those who have been accepted, what's something that you regret doing as a pre-med, or something that you were lucky to have gotten away with? It doesn't have to be incriminating, although that would make things more interesting. Mine is that I did virtually nothing during my gap year, apart...

    I think I just hurt a patient and now I'm freaking out

    So I'm on my OB rotation and the teaching has been subpar to say the least. A lady was in labor today and terrified about having a laceration so as she was pushing (2+ station) I was doing some posterior pressure with perineal massage. Now at this point it is just me and the labor nurses. The...
