A Message from the HMS Admissions Office:
Thank you for your interest in Harvard Medical School. Due to the on-going implementation of the new AMCAS-2002 system, this has been an extremely challenging year for all of us - our applicant pool, the admissions staff and committee members, and our AMCAS colleagues at the AAMC. We want to assure you that we will be as flexible as possible to ensure that your HMS application will not be penalized in any way for any circumstances beyond your control.
We are firmly committed to giving each of our applicants full consideration for admission to HMS. We will not fill any of the seats in our 2002 entering class until the full applicant pool has been reviewed and all interviews have been conducted. All of our final decision letters will be mailed on a single date, which we are currently projecting to be sometime in mid-March of 2002. We are reading applications on an ongoing basis, and hope to have all files reviewed by mid-January.
Our secondary application deadline has been extended to December 1st. Due to the unique problems surrounding this year's application cycle, we may be able to grant extensions for extenuating circumstances. Please contact the Admissions Office at (617) 432-1550 for further details.
We are currently working to clear a backlog of letters of evaluation waiting to be matched to application files. The backlog includes all letters received since October 15; we expect to have them all matched by December 1. Because we have not been able to give you timely information about the status of your letters, we will be very flexible about our letter of evaluation deadline this year, particularly if a missing letter needs to be re-sent.
We are also having difficulty generating the status update letters and e-mail messages mentioned in the HMS Admissions Bulletin; our interactive application status lookup web site is also unavailable. At this time, the best way to check on the status of your application is to contact the Admissions Office via e-mail at [email protected]. Please avoid checking your status by telephone if at all possible; this will help our staff to process your applications and letters more quickly.
We share your frustration with this situation, and are working to rectify it as quickly as we can. Your application to Harvard is very important to us, and rest assured it will be given a thorough review. Feel free to contact us with any urgent concerns.
