Important Message from the AAMC FW: AAMC Open Letter to MCAT Examinees

by Ceder, Oona Britt

Dear students and current medical school applicants, Those of you who took or are still taking the MCAT after the start of the pandemic should have already received the email from the AAMC included below. If you did not receive this email, sent earlier today, please take a moment to read it and the important open letter, written by David Skorton, AAMC president and CEO, and Karen Mitchell, Senior Director of the AAMC Admissions Testing Service. Many of you had to reschedule a spring 2020 MCAT exam date five and even six times over the past months, and you were or still are faced with the challenges posed by a new and shorter MCAT, early morning or late evening exam times, and the logistics of taking the exam during the ongoing COVID situation while wearing masks and relying on the safety precautions taken by the test centers. Although a number of you have now been able to take your delayed MCAT, many of you are still waiting for your rescheduled exam date. We are keeping our fingers crossed that your upcoming exam dates will not be cancelled, and that test day will go well and safely for all of you who are still taking the test this summer. Your House premed teams have also received this email via our OCS Premed Tutor list. Do not hesitate to reach out to your resident premed tutors if you experience any additional difficulties around an upcoming MCAT exam date. I will soon be sending out an email over this list with more information about virtual medical school interview plans and resources, as well as instructions for how to manage questions and advising needs during the month of July, when OCS as a whole pauses individual advising in order to focus on planning for the upcoming school year. In addition to communicating the AAMC’s and the medical schools’ collective recognition of the extremely difficult circumstances under which perhaps as many as half or even two thirds of this cycle’s ~50,000 applicants are taking their MCAT this spring and summer, the open letter also addresses the fact that you are dealing not only with the challenges of the pandemic but also with the “continued racial injustice in the United States and by the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, and others.” The AAMC, the medical schools, and your Harvard College advisers are all aware that this is a time during which the country’s students “have found it understandably harder to focus and study for exams during this time of great anxiety and emotional pain.” We are here to support you now and for the duration of the application cycle. As stated above, please stay tuned for an important update about the medical schools’ and the AAMC’s plans and resources for virtual interviewing during the 2021 application cycle, using the newly created AAMC VITA system as well as school specific platforms, which I will be sending to this list later this week. Best wishes to all of you, Oona From: MCAT Program Office <mcat(a)email.aamc.org<mailto:mcat@email.aamc.org>> Sent: Monday, June 29, 2020 4:27 PM To: Ceder, Oona Britt <ceder(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:ceder@fas.harvard.edu>> Subject: AAMC Open Letter to MCAT Examinees We wanted to share with you an open letter to MCAT examinees from David Skorton, AAMC president and CEO, [http://image.email.aamc.org/lib/fe8e13727c63047f73/m/1/5689c427-55da-4084-b…] Dear Advisors, We wanted to share with you an open letter to MCAT examinees<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> from David Skorton, AAMC president and CEO, and Karen Mitchell, senior director, admissions testing service, that addresses recent challenges and answers questions about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the MCAT program.

How to prepare for tomorrow's (6/27) Virtual Health Professions Fair

by Ceder, Oona Britt

Dear Applicants, Planning to attend tomorrow's (Saturday 6/27) Virtual Health Professions Fair (see below for instructions for how to register with CareerEco)? Then you will find this short video - Making the Most of A Virtual Fair - helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qagpus1F89s Some of you will recognize two of the presenters who have visited us at Harvard in the past: Christian Essman, Senior Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine (SOM) and Jennifer Kimble, Director of Admissions at Vanderbilt SOM. The other presenters are: Sandra Quezada, MD, Dean of Admissions & Assistant Dean for Academic and Multicultural Affairs at the University of Maryland SOM; Paula Watkins, Assistant Dean of Admissions at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, NJ; and Olivia Sheridan, Assistant Dean for Admissions at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. As a current applicant, you may still be finalizing your school list, so the fair gives you a chance to visit with schools you are still hoping to learn more about before adding them to your list. For schools already on your list, the fair provides the opportunity to ask your own questions as well as to read and view answers to questions asked by other applicants and students attending the fair. For those of you not yet applying, attending virtual health professions school fairs are a great way to learn more about schools to which you may apply in the future, and also for learning more about the admissions process and criteria generally. Have fun at the Fair!

Important info from AMCAS for 2021 applicants Fwd: AMCAS Operations Update

by Ceder, Oona Britt

Dear 2021 applicants, If you have already submitted your AMCAS you should have received the message from the AMCAS Outreach Team below. If you have not yet submitted, I would guess that you are not on their 2021 applicant list yet so you likely did not get this email from them. Everyone: Please carefully read all portions of the communication from AMCAS included in the emails below (please scroll down all the way to the end of this message) for important updates about AMCAS submission, medical school timelines, and transcript ordering and sending (*please note that AMCAS as well as your OCS Premed advisers asks you to direct any questions about transcript transmission to the Registrar at the school where you took the courses; questions about problems with receipt of your transcript should be directed to AMCAS). For information about ordering and transmission of your Harvard College transcript, see the slides on this topic at https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/amcas > Completing the AMCAS 2021 Application<https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/files/ocs/files/amcas_2020_presentation.pdf> (pdf)) and the "FAQs for Applicants" section further down on the same page (at https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/amcas). I will be holding the last of our six AMCAS Q/A today, 6/10, from 4 to 5pm - please register in Crimson Careers. Good luck finalizing and submitting AMCAS and any other common applications you are completing. We send you our best wishes for the official launch of your medical school application!

[AMCAS for Advisors] Dear Advisors, We hope this message finds you and your loved ones well during this time. As we continue to navigate the 2021 AMCAS application cycle, we want to keep you informed of communications to applicants. The below message was sent to applicants on Friday, June 5 to help correct some misinformation and confusion around this current cycle. We wanted to highlight the following: * Information on how applicants can submit transcripts is available here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>. If there are any questions about transcript transmission for your institution, please contact your registrar. The correct address registrars should mail official transcripts to is: AMCAS, Attn: Transcripts AAMC Medical School Application Services PO BOX 57326 Washington, DC 20037 * Please note, paper transcripts are the slowest method of transcript delivery, but there are currently no delays in receiving or processing paper transcripts or with verifying applications. Daily processing updates can be found on our website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> and Twitter feed (@AMCASinfo).

Best regards, AMCAS Outreach ________________________________ Dear Applicant, We hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. Your decision to enter the field of medicine is admirable. The next generation of physicians is important now more than ever, especially amid the global coronavirus pandemic and ongoing civil unrest. We are here to support you in achieving your goals as future physicians and navigating this challenging AMCAS application cycle. As a result, the AMCAS team would like to correct some misinformation we have seen recently online and on social media. Medical School Admissions Schools understand the many challenges faced by applicants during this cycle and are aware of the AMCAS processing timelines. They are taking into consideration the delays in MCAT scores and transcripts while developing their internal processes and acknowledge the need to remain flexible during the application process. Please review the Medical School Admission Requirements<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> and Participating Medical Schools and Deadlines <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> for updates provided by medical schools. Application Processing Earlier this week, the AAMC office building was damaged during protests in Washington, DC. Thankfully, no one was injured, and the building is now secure. This incident has not caused any delays in the processing of AMCAS applications. AMCAS staff have been working remotely since the middle of March and have processes in place for operational adjustments. Please note that due to the rapidly changing environment, AMCAS verification may take up to eight weeks for the 2021 cycle. Currently, verification of submitted applications are tracking ahead of this timeline. You will receive application status updates via email and we will continue to post daily processing updates to our Twitter feed (@AMCASinfo) and on our website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>. Transcripts To avoid processing delays, AMCAS developed expanded solutions with undergraduate institutions to accept transcripts. Please follow instructions on your registrar's webpage or contact your registrar directly for more information. AMCAS is accepting and processing transcripts that are submitted electronically, by email, fax, and regular mail. AMCAS is retrieving paper transcripts from the PO Box (listed on the transcript request form) - please do not send paper transcripts to any alternate address. Please review processing timelines<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>, as mailed transcripts take longer to receive and process than other methods. You will receive an email once your transcript is processed and has been marked "Received." We will post transcript processing timelines updates to our Twitter feed (@AMCASinfo) and on our website <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> . Please come to the AAMC for the latest information.
