[2022] updates, 0-2 interviews, 2+ interviews/acc, post-acc, choose your med school, sinai info session & div panel

by Premedical College

Dear 2022 Applicants, 1. Updating schools. We are getting lots of emails about updating schools you have not heard from. With questions about updates/letters of interest, please reach out to your House tutors first. If you have additional questions after consulting with them, feel free to reach out to us. You do not want to send updates to schools that do not accept them (some schools do not accept updates/letters of interest at all or only after you have interviewed), and you want to be careful if a school has a limited number of updates allowed. You may decide you want to be able to send those updates later in the process more than you want to send them now. **We had a longer discussion of updating schools in our previous message. 1. Zero to two interviews. If you have received 0-2 interviews, we recommend that you send emails now to the schools where you have not yet been rejected. In those emails, be gracious and acknowledge that you realize that not all people are granted interviews, but that you would be honored to receive an invitation. You can briefly comment on why you are interested in this school and can briefly give an update if you have something you would like to share. These should not be long notes. If you currently have 0-2 interviews, please get in touch with your House tutors and make an appointment with one of us at OCS. We can help you map out a strategy from here. Lots of people who were in this same situation at this point last year are now several months into their first year of medical school. 1. Two or more interviews or an acceptance. If you have had two or more interview invitations and have not been rejected from those schools (or if you even have an acceptance!), you can either sit tight depending on the number of invitations you have received and how you feel about those schools or you can send updates to other schools. 1. Post-Acceptance. Once you have an acceptance to any medical school, your House is unable to advocate on your behalf at any school. We (and your tutors) are happy to advise you, of course, as you advocate for yourself in your quest to receive additional interview invitations. 1. AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool. (https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/amcas-c…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…>) Please be aware of this tool and how you are supposed to use it. This link has a bunch of useful information, so be sure to read information provided there! The Choose Your Medical School tool will not be available until February 19, 2022. 1. Upcoming info session- Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai info session and diversity panel, Monday, 11/8, 4-5pm. We encourage you to attend! Please join us for a special information session with Dr. Valerie Parkas, Senior Associate Dean of Admissions, Dr. Carrie Ernst, Professor in the Department of Psychology and Member of the Admissions Committee, and Jessica Maysonnet, Associate Director of Admissions at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Our speakers will focus specifically on diversity, equity and inclusion on their campus. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and to get to know the Mt. Sinai team in a more comfortable setting! Co-Sponsored by the Harvard Black Premedical Society and the Harvard Office of Career Services. REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO ATTEND<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mssm.zoom.us_j_8721649…> Best, Emiko & Oona

[2022 applicants] AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool Now Available

by Premedical College

Hi 2022 applicants, See the message below (after the message to advisors)- we just wanted to be sure you didn’t miss this! Best, Emiko & Oona From: AMCAS Outreach <advisors(a)email.aamc.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2022 10:01 AM To: Morimoto, Emiko Taira Adachi <morimoto(a)fas.harvard.edu> Subject: AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool Now Available We are pleased to announce that the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool is now available to applicants within the AMCAS application. [AMCAS for Advisors] Dear Advisors, We are pleased to announce the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School (CYMS) tool is now available to applicants within the AMCAS application. Only applicants with at least one (1) current acceptance will be able to see and use the tool. Information about applicant CYMS tool selections are visible inside the Advisor Information System. This includes information about the applicant’s current selection, as well as the history of selections for each applicant. Since the CYMS tool is linked directly to admission action data, the 14-day action data embargo applies to CYMS selections. As we continue to provide information to help applicants understand the tool, we sent the message below to anyone who has submitted a 2022 AMCAS application. Please feel free to use it in discussions with your advisees. We will continue to provide updates via email and on the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> page as the season progresses. If you have any questions, please contact us<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> or call (202) 828-0950. Sincerely, AMCAS Outreach ________________________________ Dear Applicant, We are pleased to announce that the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool is now available within the AMCAS application<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>. Only applicants with at least one (1) current acceptance that has been reported to AMCAS will be able to see and use the tool. The tool should be used at the direction of the schools to which you have applied. As you prepare to use the tool, here are some important guidelines to remember: 1. Follow school-specific policies and procedures: It is important to review and follow each, individual school's application instructions, policies, deadlines, and requirements. We recommend visiting each school's admissions website and checking the Medical School Admission Requirements website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> for school-specific information. 2. Review the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool information: You can learn more about the tool here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>. * This tool helps applicants communicate their intentions about which medical school they plan to attend and helps admissions officers with managing their enrollment for the entering class. * The Choose Your Medical School tool should not be the primary method of communication between you and medical schools. * You should use the tool in accordance with school-specific policies and processes. 3. Review the Application and Acceptance Protocols for Applicants: The guiding principles for professional behavior during the application cycle are set forth in the Application and Acceptance Protocols for Applicants<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>. These guidelines are not intended to supersede the policies, timelines, or discretion of individual schools or programs. However, they do provide you with a sense of professionalism that the medical schools are looking for from applicants. Here is additional information to keep in mind: * To access the tool, you will need to go back into your AMCAS application. We encourage you to review the Choose Your Medical School Tool Guide for Applicants<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> for step-by-step instructions on using the tool. * Making a “Plan to Enroll” selection allows schools to view the total number of applicants who selected “Plan to Enroll” for their schools. Schools can only see this aggregate data and not individual selections until May 2. * Until May 2, applicants can, at the time they make this selection, continue to hold other acceptances, remain on alternate lists, and continue to interview at other schools. * If applicants receive new offers, they can update their selection at any time, but they can select only one school at a time. For your reference, you may also want to view the following resources on our website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…>: * Choose Your Medical School Admissions Decisions Dashboard Guide<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> * Choose Your Medical School Tool FAQs<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> * Navigating the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool for 2022 Cycle Applicants webinar’s recording<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> and slides<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> Additionally, applicants who have been offered an acceptance to medical school should expect to receive a series of emails from AMCAS over the coming months. If you have any questions, please contact us<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.email.aamc.org_-…> or call (202) 828-0600.
