2023-2024 Harvard

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How long do you expect the other papers to take for publishing roughly? I don't think it would hurt to send this one as 1 of the updates if you aren't already wanting to add other more significant activities in there. Also is this like 1 of 12 pubs or is it your only one?
It is 1of 4. The first one. I am thinking another 3-4 months for the rest to be finally approved and published. They have all been submitted but probs will have comments to make changes. Thanks for the advice. K

Did anyone with IIs submit a LOR for every research experience? I only submitted for 2/4 since those are the only ones I could get letters for.

I did, but I only did one experience and it was over all 4 years of my undergrad.

Also, I think it is a requirement to have a letter from every experience for both MD and MD/PhD so if this a school that interests you, I would try to get letters from those PIs.

Did the interview slots just change for anybody? I went to sign up for September 22nd but as I submitted the dates changed to the following week?
 
From a 2025 cycle applicant: Do y'all think Harvard is worth applying to as an ORM LizzyM 74?

I have yet to see anyone get even an II with my stats lol.

Best of luck for this year!
I'm applying with stats around there as well. Saw a few people getting Pathways interviews with LMs lower than that last year soo. I'm just coping by saying they'll send them out to us lower stat applicants later on in the cycle.

If you have the ECs I say go for it. HMS strikes me as a school that doesn’t have the biggest emphasis on stats (going off the fact that they could build a class with the highest MCAT averages out there but they choose not to).
 
Hi everyone! Late, but figured I may as well make a donation here bc I'm feeling extra charitable this year. For those with gap years, I'm wondering how "brief" y'all made your descriptions? Also, if you had multiple commitments, did you try to weave everything together, describe each in stand-alone paragraphs, or just elaborate on the most important one(s)? Thanks for helping a potato out

I used around 2000 characters. I spoke about the new thing I’m doing in one paragraph and commitments I’m continuing in a second paragraph that are already described on my primary.

I wove everything into one essay, connected it all in a common theme and kept it around 2,500 characters (didn’t have more to say).
