<p>Hey, you know that DNA card we received… Do we just fill out the information, or do we have to get the blood sample? Is the blood sample done on I-Day? And if we get it now, where should we get it? Our local doctor? Police Station?</p>
<p>I was just going to create a thread about this. Has anyone done it? Do you just prick yourself and place the blood on the pads?</p>
<p>I like how there are absolutely no instructions for the kit.</p>
<p>That's what i was wondering... it confuses me and there is no phone number to call about... maybe i'll just call the admissions people in the morning.</p>
<p>I tried calling the medical group a few weeks ago but nobody there knew anything about it.</p>
<p>Oh... shucks.. ummm, well, i'll still try the admissions department, but I'm hoping someone out there from class of 2010 will know.</p>
<p>I just opened it and filled out the info part of the card. I pretty sure they take the blood sample on I-day.</p>
<p>Got this info from another parent: "Yes, I called to verify and they said to just complete the info section of the card inside the plastic bag and bring the complete kit to inprocessing. They will do the test
there. Looks like they will put some blood on the card."</p>
<p>Why are there two dots inside of every box on the info card?</p>
<p>Because they want you to write the letters in a specific manner and the dots help to guide you</p>
<p>Someone said "In my opinion they sent us the kit because the card inside must be filled out in a certain fashion. Meaning, the letters and numbers must go around two dots a certain way to prevent confusion. When I did this it took a long time so maybe this is why they sent it out early. "</p>
<p>And there was a little pouch with balls in it, is that like a silicone packet, or is neccesary?</p>
<p>I think it's just a silicone packet.</p>
<p>I called the Medical Group and the lady said to try and fill out the card as close to the example letters as possible and the silicone packet thingy will be used when we get to AFA. It is for blood and probably will be just another time they stick you with a needle.</p>
<p>There was an example letter of how to fill out the DNA card?!</p>
<p>The example letters are on the card.</p>
<p>The silicon packet is to absorb moisture since it's a sealed plastic bag with paper inside.</p>
<p>Anyway, fill the card out and bring it on I-day. I've called 3 times to confirm this.</p>
<p>Yup, TN is spot on. I called as well. This was sent early to avoid the delay of filling it out on Iday. It's not the end of the world if you don't do it (you'll do it there) but given the hectic day you'll be having, why not make it easier on yourself. Best of luck all you RTBs, I'm getting excited for you!</p>
<p>what if you already put the blood sample on the card already?</p>
<p>They'll probably have extras, and you'll just have to fill out another one, or they'll use the one you have done...</p>
<p>They'll want to do another one.</p>
<p>They would do another one. What if your DNA was not on the card? They cannot confirm it.</p>
<p>That's what i was just thinking. Okay, stupid question or not... what is an RTB? Everyone keeps saying that and I feel out of the loop. It's porbably something simple that i should be able to figure out (but when i was in middle school i didn't even know that SNL stood for Saturday Night Live, not very good with acronyms you see) ;)</p>
