Greetings from California where we are hoping to flatten the curve by proudly being the first state to order residents to shelter in place.
Last week I posted some truly excellent articles and a podcast on COVID. This week, I’m listing some considerations pre-meds need to ponder in the setting of the virus:
1) The March 27 and April 4 MCAT exam administrations have been canceled globally. It’s unclear whether some future dates will be eliminated.
2) It is hard to get clinical experience right now. Many non-essential personnel are – rightly – being asked to stay home.
3) Letter of recommendation writers may be harder to reach or focused on other concerns.
4) As of now, there is no indication that the AMCAS application calendar will change.
Please stay home and stay safe.
