Hi MD/PhD applicants, We wanted to reach out about the MD/PhD interview season. As you probably know from the calendar<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=6juva39u7on1a4jclfrne8i0f0@g…> shared on the AAMC site, the MD/PhD season is more condensed than that for MD only applicants. With that in mind, if it gets to be mid-October and you have 0-2 interviews, we recommend that you reach out to us and your House tutors, and also think about sending updates to the schools at that point. Good luck with everything! Best, Emiko & Oona

MCB 68

by Morimoto, Emiko Taira Adachi

Hi all, Just a quick note- for those of you who are current students at the College, we just found out the MCB 68 will NOT be offered in Spring 2019. If you were planning to take that to fulfill your second semester of biology with lab, please find an alternate course for this Fall or plan for a different course in the spring. Best, Emiko

in the area emails, completing applications, MD/PhD interview calendar, schools of public health, med school visits, financing your med school education

by Premedical College

Dear Applicants, We hope this finds you well and surviving the "waiting for interviews" stage. Some of you have received a couple interview invitations, and many of you have none so far. This is all normal at this stage since it is still very early in the interview season. Hang in there for now. We believe that ~15-20% of interview invitations have been sent out. This can vary widely from school to school and applicant to applicant. 1. "In the area" emails for interview invitations. We have started getting questions about sending "in the area" requests. The answer is that it is fine to send these to schools that are some distance away once you have one interview in the area. It makes less sense to do them for places like NYC if you are in Boston, but by all means try to group your California interviews, your Chicago interviews, etc. We suggest you not try to do this if the scheduled interview is less than two weeks away. When you send your request, you want to be very gracious with the language--you realize that not everyone is granted an interview; you understand this may not be possible; you will be honored to come whenever they invite you, but it would save you the financial hardship of an additional trip; etc. Give them the specific days you would be willing to come. Keep the language professional. This is not the time to sneak in an update. This is just a simple request. If you are unclear about whether you are saying the right thing, it is fine to send your draft email for the school to premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu> or you can ask your House tutor to take a look at it. 1. Secondary applications and completeness of application. We have heard a stories from applicants who found long-buried secondary invitations in their spam folders. This would be a good time to make sure your application is complete at all your medical schools and to dig a bit deeper for any medical schools where you have not received a secondary. For some schools, you need to go on to their website/application portal to access their secondary. For some schools you will have already received an email saying your application is complete or you are able to check on their application portal. For schools where you have not heard yet and can't check online, you can send a brief email just confirming that your application is complete. This is not an update, but rather a simple request for confirmation. 1. MD-PhD interview calendar. The dates for MD/PhD are finally on the AAMC.ORG website and can be found here.<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=6juva39u7on1a4jclfrne8i0f0@g…> This is especially useful for schools that have a very limited number of days, so that you can try to save interview dates for those schools. 1. Schools of Public Health Visits. If you are considering getting a joint MD/MPH, we suggest you come hear about these programs. Please RSVP in Crimson Careers. Columbia Mailman, Harvard T.H. Chan, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg, and Yale Schools of Public Health Monday, September 17, 1-2:30 pm at OCS 1. Upcoming medical school visits We will have several medical school visits this fall, and more are being added every week. If you are applying to these schools, you should definitely make an effort to attend. Here are the ones that have been scheduled so far. Please RSVP in Crimson Careers. Georgetown University School of Medicine Monday, September 17; Virtual Information Session 4:30-5:30 pm at OCS Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Thursday, October 11; Information Session 4:30-5:30 pm (location TBD) Duke Medical School Monday, October 15; Information Session 4:30-5:30 pm at OCS Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Thursday, October 18; Virtual Information Session 4:30-5:30 pm at OCS Harvard Medical School Thursday, October 18; Information Session 7-8 pm (location TBD) 1. Financing Your Medical Education We will have a workshop on Financing Your Medical Education on Wednesday, November 28th from 4:30-5:30 pm at OCS. Please RSVP in Crimson Careers. The presentation will be given by Stephanie Hunt, Director of Financial Aid at Harvard Medical School, but the workshop is relevant for people attending any medical school. Please stay in touch if we can be of help and have a good weekend! Best, Emiko & Oona
