same! any update

Still waiting lol

“Harvard Medical School does not have a rolling admissions policy. The timing of the submission or completion of an application will not affect the applicant’s chances of receiving an interview invitation. As long as all application materials are received prior to our final deadline, applicants will receive full consideration. Please see Timeline for more information.”

This is from their website, so do with that what you will. It’s the only thing keeping me from emailing them since I still haven’t received a secondary

nah submitted in october and got in

Finding that my response to " If you have already graduated, briefly summarize your activities since graduation. (4000 characters)" is similar writing to my personal statement. Is that expected or should I approach this differently?

I'm assuming that your personal statement has a strong narrative guiding how your activities lead you to a career in medicine. So, in the secondary prompt "briefly summarize your activities since graduation," you can summarize your activities and your role/responsibilities without the narrative your personal statement has.

Ah, thank you! I feel like the 4000 characters is making me think it HAS to be long lol

Oh definitely does not need to be 4000ch! They just provide a high ceiling for those who may need it. Mine was around 1000ch :)

Anyone else still waiting?

Still waiting. They’re one of two schools left for me at this point lol idk why they’re so slow with their batches
