[2023] Secondary apps timing, optional questions, committee letters, interview season

by Premedical College

Dear Applicants, 1. Timing of secondary application submission. We recommend that you turn around your secondary applications in 10-14 days. Some, but not all, schools will give you a specific deadline. Remember just to complete these as they arrive, and do not prioritize your reach schools over your 'safer'/target schools. Our rationale for suggesting 10-14 days is three-fold. First, being early in this process is an advantage and you lose that advantage if you sit on your secondary applications. Second, turning them around quickly shows interest, good organization, and time management. Third, in our experience, hanging on to them just makes them pile up and causes more stress and anxiety. However, do not worry if something comes up and some take you a bit longer to get in. There is nothing magic about our 10-14 day guideline. You do not need to stress over them excessively, but do make sure they are error free. Be aware that some schools expect you to access their secondary applications on their websites or through their application portal, so check MSAR and your school websites to make sure you know what to expect with regard to receiving secondary applications from the schools you have selected. Also see the FAQs for Applicants > Secondary Applications at https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/applying-to-medical-school/ (under the 'AMCAS' tab). * See the relevant AAMC MSAR report available at https://students-residents.aamc.org/medical-school-admission-requirements/m…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…> > https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7011/download, as well as each of your school's individual MSAR entry for more information about their specific timelines and requirements for being ready for evaluation. * Above all, pay careful attention to all communications you will be receiving directly from the schools to which you are applying about their specific criteria for starting to evaluate your application, as this will vary among the schools and may still be further revised in the coming months. *Be sure to check spam folders not to miss a secondary app/link to secondary app, or other important emails from your schools, and take a moment to review how your schools manage communication with its applicants (i.e., do they use a portal, email, social media, snail mail, etc. to communicate with you?). * Note: We are aware of a few schools that will give you a deadline (e.g., 30 days from the date you received their secondary, or another date they communicate to you along with inviting you to submit the secondary) for returning the secondary that also specifies that all of your recommendation letters must also be received by that date. The University of California Irvine SOM is one of these schools. Admissions Committees are aware of our timeline for transmitting your Committee Letter PDF (on 8/15), but we advise you to write to any schools that request your letters before 8/15 to let them know that the Harvard Premedical Committees will transmit your letters on or shortly before 8/15 as per our longstanding process and due to the time required for us to write a large number of Committee Letters. If a school responds to let you know that receiving your letters in mid-August will be a problem, please email premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu> to let us know and we will communicate directly with the school on your behalf. 1. 1. Optional Secondary Application Questions-Are they optional? It really depends on the wording. At times, the question is worded in such a way that they only want you to answer if you have clearly had a hardship, a disadvantage, or a significant bump in the road. Other times, it is an invitation to tell them something else. A note on additional secondary questions inviting you to address and share COVID-related challenges you may have experienced since the pandemic started: * Many schools added a question to their secondary about how you have been affected by the pandemic. Use it to convey anything that has set you back in terms of your timeline or ability to perform up to your usual levels in your classes; that impacted your ability to raise your GPA as a result of not receiving letter grades in Spring 2020 if you were an enrolled student then; that disrupted your MCAT preparation or performance; to address any changes to your ongoing or planned extracurricular activities, including challenges around securing shadowing and clinical experience hours; to address changes to your work situation, ability to continue to perform clinical responsibilities you may have had, or other disruptions to your work role or hours; the impact on your postgrad job search; and anything else you deem important for the schools to be aware of in terms of how COVID-19 has affected you, your family and loved ones, and your daily routines and access to technology when forced to study or work remotely. If you need feedback on how best to use this added space in your secondaries, reach out to your House advisers for their input. * Note: We have heard that some schools (e.g, New Your Medical College), will let you email them a longer response to how Covid-19 impacted you, if the 300 character answer they allow you to enter in the secondary does not provide enough space for you to cover everything you wish to share with them. Similarly, if a school's secondary does not have a prompt where you can address Covid-related circumstances and challenges (and if they do not provide extra space for 'anything else you wish to share' with them, you can usually email them to ask if they can add an emailed statement to your file or let you upload it to their applicant portal. * Remember that you need to report any new MCAT score you have received after completing your PIF or House Questionnaire to your tutors so that they will be able to address the score, if deemed helpful to your app to do so, in your Committee Letter. 1. Committee letters. Please check the "My Documents Statuses" section or your AMCAS application after August 16 to see if your committee letter has been received. If it has not, and you abided by all your House/Dudley Community deadlines, please reach out to your House Academic Coordinator. * Note on the timing of transmission of your letters to medical schools: The Academic Coordinators will transmit all Committee Letter PDFs to medical schools by mid-August if the applicant abides by the deadlines set by the Premedical/Pre-Health Committees by which to submit all required application-related materials. This timeline for completing and transmitting letters is similar for all of our peer institutions. Medical schools are aware of this timeline for when to expect your letters, and have confirmed that receiving your letter PDF by mid-August will not place you at a disadvantage in the admissions process. Since most schools will begin reading your primary and secondary apps before receiving your letters, you should not hold off on submitting your secondaries thinking the school will not look at it until they have received your letters (see #1 above for our advice about secondary app submission and timing). A few schools (e.g., Tufts SOM), have a slightly different timeline and process for when they read secondaries; so as always, pay careful attention to all communication you receive directly from your schools. If you have any questions about what a certain school's instructions you are welcome to email us at premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu> for our input. 1. What to expect from the interview season: * The schools to which you are applying will be communicating their interview format to you, so be sure to carefully read and review all instructions and information about what to expect on interview day from each of the schools to which you are applying. Please refer to the AAMC MSAR report about interview format as well: https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7051/download<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…> *Also stay tuned for announcements about fall 2022 OCS-hosted and school-hosted virtual info sessions for current applicants, which are great opportunities to learn more and ask questions about interview formats as well as other important information for 2023 applicants. See the OCS Networking & Infosessions calendar for details: https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/events/?shared_category=eresources. * 2023 cycle interview formats: As the admissions cycle gets underway, we will know more about each medical schools options for interview format. We already know that some schools will continue to interview remotely. Others are offering applicants a choice of interviewing remotely or in person. Some schools may return to only offering in person interviews. Try not to be overly concerned about how the format will impact your application. Medical schools are paying careful attention to how they can ensure that there is no bias or disadvantage of interviewing remotely, such as their awareness of the fact that some applicants will not have an ideal space from which to do the interview; they understand that some of you may experience a poor wifi connection or may be in a time zone that means that you are possibly meeting them and interviewing early in the morning or later in the day than usual, when you may not be at your best; and all schools will be prepared for the unexpected hiccups that could occur on each side of a virtual interview. Schools now have two full years of experience with how to conduct successful online virtual interviews, and they are working hard to ensure a successful, fair, and productive virtual interview season. In sum, regardless of the format or choice of format a school has or will decide on for their 2023 cycle interviews, every medical school is committed to holistic evaluation and, if they are continuing to offer remote interviews, recognition of potential obstacles to a successful virtual interview. If you have concerns that the virtual interview process is placing you at an unfair disadvantage due to unequal access to important resources for doing well in this setting, do not hesitate to reach out to the Admissions Offices directly. * Along the same lines of ensuring that all applicants are equally able to compete and do their best on interview day, we do want you to share with us and your House teams any concerns you have about your wifi and computer set-up, time zone challenges, or other issues you are worried may negatively impact your interview performance. But before you reach out to your House teams or to the OCS advisers, about interview-related concerns and questions, please review the following resources: * https://www.aamc.org/system/files/2020-05/Virtual_Interview_Tips_for_Medica…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aamc.org_system_fi…> (from 2020, but still relevant) * An AAMC advisor report in which many medical schools have updated their 2023 interview plans and formats (this content should correspond to what the schools have added to their MSAR entry also): https://students-residents.aamc.org/media/7051/download<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…> * For general tips and information about the interview day, you can review last year's presentation and resources on our website at: https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/applying-to-medical-school/ ('Interview Prep' tab) and you will also find helpful resources at https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/channels/prepare-for-an-interview/. We will be sending out more information in early August about the upcoming Medical School Interview Prep webinar (in late August; date still TBD). Also be sure to keep an eye out for communication from your Premed Tutors about individual mock interviews and mock MMI events, which are done by Houses. Good luck with your applications, and we hope you are also enjoying your summer! Best, Oona Oona B.

[2023] Casper (& Snapshot and Duo) preparation: Resources and important information

by Premedical College

Dear 2023 applicants, As many of you have now or are about to submit your AMCAS/other primaries including TMDSAS, AACOMAS, AADSAS, VMCAS, and OMSAS, you may be getting ready to take Casper and, for some schools, also the other two Altus assessments Snapshot and Duo. Therefore, I wanted to remind you of the following resources and information about the Altus assessment test. (For AAMC PREview updates and info, see the previous two emails sent to this list with that information. If you will be taking PREview, be sure to view the recordings of the 5/4 and 6/7 AAMC webinars about this exam). Casper. Many applicants to US medical schools will need to take this online situational judgment test (SJT). You can learn more about CASPer here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__takecasper.com_about-2…>. Medical schools using CASPer<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__takecasper.com_schools…> Scroll down at https://takealtus.com/schools-and-programs/ to find the list of participating US schools. To learn if a school requires just Casper or also asks applicants to complete the Snapshot and Duo assessments, see the medical school's website). Scheduling your test: Click here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__takecasper.com_dates-2…> for the schedule of upcoming CASPer tests. Since participating schools use CASPer as a screening tool, it is important to prepare and schedule your test in a timely manner. Although you will see a range of test dates, plan to take yours by early August in order to ensure timely evaluation at all participating medical schools, and particularly at rolling admissions schools where an earlier interview date confers an advantage over later dates. The Casper webinar for applicants can be viewed here<https://youtu.be/Miq9fobvd0s>. You may also find the following resources helpful for preparing to take Casper: How to Maximize Your Chances of Success on CASPer<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__view.attach.io_HyRRQrd…> Student Information Flyer on CASPer<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__view.attach.io_rklcvnl…> The resources page on TakeCASPer.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__takecasper.com_blog_&d…> > Casper for 2022/23 Test Takers presentation: https://vimeo.com/677869922 PrepMatch<https://prepmatch.com/>: A free peer-to-peer CASPer simulation platform to help you prepare for a test that you were told you can't prepare for. And here is the info about Casper on the OCS website<https://ocs.fas.harvard.edu/amcas> (overlaps with some of the info above): Casper (Computer-based assessment for sampling personal characteristics) At this time, over 30<https://takealtus.com/dates-times/> U.S. medical schools require applicants to do an online situational judgment test (SJT) called Casper as a pre-interview screen. The test presents a scenario which includes an ethical dilemma and then asks applicants to comment on how the individuals in the scenario should proceed. Proponents of the test believe it measures personal traits such as integrity and the ability to reason. If applicants are required to do this, we strongly recommend that they do free online practices (see https://takecasper.com/sample-casper-test/ and http://apetest.com/caspersim/practice-test/ for two examples). The SJT requires timed, rapid typing about specific scenarios, so applicants need to practice that skill if possible. Note: There are on average just 1-2 test dates per month<https://takealtus.com/dates-times/>, so be sure to register ahead of time. Please be sure to review the Casper FAQs<https://takecasper.com/faq/>. We recommend that you aim to take Casper by the end of July, so it does not delay any interview invitations. Good luck!

[2023] AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool Now Available

by Premedical College

Dear 2023 MD Applicants, We wanted to make sure you saw the email below about Choose Your Medical School Tool (CYMS) sent to all 2023 applicants. AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool and acceptance protocols. Once you have been accepted, many schools will ask you to send in a deposit and/or a written notice that you accept the spot. There are clear “Application and Acceptance Protocols” that govern acceptances (Application and Acceptance Protocols- Applicants<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…>; Application and Acceptance Protocols--Admissions Officers<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…>). As long as you are holding a maximum of three acceptances on April 15th and only one acceptance on April 30th, all of the deposits you have paid will be returned, except for the one at the final school that you plan to attend. As you get a first acceptance, you should withdraw in writing from schools where you do not intend to matriculate. Many of you may need and want to hold on to multiple acceptances until you hear about financial aid offers. That is completely appropriate. For many schools, however, you might know that you will attend school A over school B regardless of what the financial aid package looks like and in that case it is appropriate to withdraw from school B once you have been accepted to school A. Once you have an acceptance to any medical school, neither OCS nor your House will be able to advocate on your behalf at any school, but your House tutors and OCS premed advisers are both happy to discuss your choices with you. Acceptances into MD/PhD programs. The same rules apply for applicants accepted into MSTP slots. However, since you will know at the outset that you will be fully funded, it is usually not necessary for you to hold multiple acceptances for any period of time. At times, you may feel unable to decide without further information about your research options. That may mean that some applicants need to hold spots at two or three programs for a period of time. If you are fortunate to have several acceptances and while you are technically allowed to hold up to three offers until April 30th, we would urge you to go ahead and narrow down the spots you are holding so that you can free up spots for other applicants. If we (Oona and Rob) don’t have any 30-min appointment slots soon enough for you to consult with us about an urgent question about accepting admissions offers as the 4/30 date approaches, remember that both alumni and current students can attend our premed dropins on Wednesdays (2-3pm ET) and Thursdays (3-4pm ET) to speak to one of us (instructions for how to attend these virtual premed dropins are on the premed/pre-health students portion of the OCS website, under “Talk to an Adviser). 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 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 on our website<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 manage 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 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 1. * Until May 1, 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 2023 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.

Premed/Pre-health Appointment Policies Reminder

by Premedical College

From: OCS Premed Advising <premed(a)fas.harvard.edu> Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2023 5:20 PM To: Harrington, Rob <robert_harrington(a)fas.harvard.edu> Subject: Premed/Pre-health Appointment Policies Reminder [https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/symp-images/csm/harvard/tinyfiles/logo.p…] Please see below for an announcement regarding appointment policies: Jobs | Workshops Premed & Pre-Health Advising Announcements Dear premed and prehealth students and alumni: We have seen an uptick in appointment cancellations and no-shows in recent weeks. We do understand how many scheduled commitments you have and that scheduling conflicts will arise at times. Out of courtesy to other students, we ask that you please cancel your appointment at least 48 hours prior to the appointment time so that your slot can be booked by someone else. As many of you are aware, our 30-minute appointments have been booking 3-4 weeks out, and when appointment slots are cancelled on short notice they are no longer viewable to other students. In cases of illness or other unforeseen conflicts, please email us at premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edut> and we can help you reschedule (as we don't want you to have to wait until the next available time slot in Crimson Careers). Instructions and policies for booking a premed/prehealth advising appointment are available on the premed/prehealth portion of the OCS website under “Talk to an Adviser” (https://careerservices.fas.harvard.edu/channels/pre-med-students/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__harvard-2Dcsm.symplici…> ). Please book your 30-minute appointment with the premed/pre-health adviser you previously met with (if you met with Emiko Morimoto in the past, please book your next appointment with Rob Harrington). If you have a quick question, or you are not sure you need a full 30 minutes to go over your question/s, we recommend attending one of our weekly premed/prehealth drop-ins. These are 10-minute phone or Zoom drop-in appointments with the OCS premed/pre-health advisers (i.e., Rob and Oona), and they are offered on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 3:00pm ET and on Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:00pm ET. Log into the drop-in queue<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__harvard-2Dcsm.symplici…> at the start of the drop-in hour (password ocs1). You will be prompted to enter your phone number or a Zoom meeting link after you are logged in to the queue.
