Dear Current Medical School Applicants,
1. AMCAS submission-For those of you who are planning to apply for 2019, it is getting quite late to submit your primary AMCAS application if you have not already done so. If you are trying to decide whether this is the right year for you to apply, please email premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu> and we can arrange a phone appointment.
1. Timing of Harvard letters-As long as you have gotten your information to your House by their deadlines, then your Harvard Committee letter with your letters of recommendations will be uploaded and sent to your medical schools by August 15. Medical schools are used to this date and our letters are submitted sooner than many of the letters from our peer institutions. Many schools will begin reviewing your application before this date or will put it in a queue once they receive your secondary, so you still need to get your materials in as soon as you can.
Good luck with your secondary applications and remember to keep checking those spam folders.
Best wishes and happy summer,
Emiko and Oona
