missing course work, interview prep (including interview webinar link), secondaries & app completeness, MD-PhD interview cal, Penn MSTP panel, med school visits

by Morimoto, Emiko Taira Adachi

Dear Applicants, 1. Missing course work. The start of term is a good time (even for alumni) to double check the websites of all the schools on your list and be sure you have met the requirements. Remember that you can still take courses this fall and the upcoming spring if you need to. If you are an alum, it is fine to take additional courses wherever you are in the United States. As a general rule, the majority of schools do not accept online courses, so we do not recommend online courses unless you are certain that the school where you are trying to meet that requirement will accept an online course. However, in the time of Covid, when all courses are online, this rule obviously does not apply! 1. Interview prep. This is a reminder that you can prepare for interviews in the following ways. * All Houses offer mock interview prep and you should avail yourself of these resources. * Go on the OCS website, in the interview section<https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/interview-stream>, and sign up for Interview Stream using your Harvard.edu address. There is a section specifically for medical school interviews. * Use the resources on the OCS premed website about interviews<https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/medical-interview>. * If you were unable to attend our Interview Webinar live, you can view the captioned webinar here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdjRxAbNMec>. Note: This webinar is for the Harvard Community only. Please do not share links. All webinar recordings: (c) 2020 President and Fellows of Harvard College * The handouts for the webinar are attached to this email. 3) Secondary applications and completeness of application. This is 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. 4) MD-PhD interview calendar. The dates for MD/PhD are on the AAMC.ORG website and can be found here.<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__calendar.google.com_ca…> 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. 5) Penn MSTP Panel. Wednesday, 9/9, 7-8:30pm EST. Register HERE<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KNnqd_l1OHJekkvBVRaClqZ_VFyu0Qjw4rT0G4VC-K…>. [A close up of a newspaper Description automatically generated] 6) Upcoming medical school visits We will have several virtual medical school visits this fall, and more are being added. 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<https://harvard-csm.symplicity.com/students/index.php?signin_tab=0&signin_t…>. All times listed are EST. Tufts University School of Medicine Wednesday, 9/23, 6-7pm Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons Thursday, 9/24, 4-5pm Harvard Medical School Wednesday, 10/7, 4-5pm Best, Emiko & Oona
