Hi all,
Hope everyone is able to enjoy the summer a bit and you are getting through secondaries okay!
A couple small things:
1) Snapshot & Duet timing. Altus seems to have changed their timing cut-offs for Snapshot and Duet completion. Earlier in the cycle, these had to be completed within 10 days of your Casper test date. However, now the Altus recommendation is complete these tests within 14 days of your Casper test date.
2) OCS interview webinar. The OCS Medical School Interview webinar will be on Friday, 8/13 from 1-2pm ET. Please go here to register: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8aECWwGzSQai6z_ht62E9g
Learn the basics of interviewing for medical school. We ask that only current applicants attend. Students applying to other health-related schools (e.g., dental and vet) are also welcome.
And of course, if anybody is unable to attend live, we will be able to share the webinar recording (once it has been captioned) and the handouts/materials. To request the recording, please email premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu> no earlier than Wednesday, 8/18.
Hope all is well and we look forward to working with you throughout the cycle! As a note, our general advising appointments resume the first week of August, and there is no longer a cap on 2022 advising appointments at that point (we really only have the maximum of two appointments in the spring/early summer to get us to AMCAS submission).
Best,
Emiko & Oona
