Welcome to MCS medical school application support and advising! Our workshop series for 2027-28 applicants will launch in November 2026 with the Navigating the Medical School Application Process webinar recording and subsequent Q&A. If you were not able to attend, we ask that you view the recording of this webinar, which is protected by HarvardKey (alumni who have not claimed their HarvardKey can register at this link). The handouts for this and all application workshops are accessible at this link as well. (If you are applying to other health professions schools like dental or veterinary, be sure to reach out to us so that we can make sure you are oriented to the resources for your application process.)
Overview of the process for 2028 matriculants
In order to gain access to medical (or dental or other health professions) school applicant advising appointments with one of the MCS Premed/Pre-Health advisors, please be sure to complete the MCS Intent to Apply form. We will use this form to add you to our dedicated Canvas resource site for applicants. This will also help us gain an accurate idea of who is applying this summer. When we receive your form, you will be ready to book an application advising appointment with your assigned MCS advisor (Oona or Rob). As a reminder, if you have already met with one of us, please continue to schedule your individual 30-minute appointments with the same advisor. If you are new to MCS Premed/Pre-Health advising, you will receive an email in spring term with your assignment to one of us. More information on how MCS and your House Premed Committee and Tutors work with students and alumni planning to apply in the upcoming cycle is included in the webinar recording.
Also, if you are not already subscribed to the Harvard MCS Med School Applicants List, please do so now so that you will be receiving our emails for 2028 applicants (note that this is the MCS listserv for current applicants, so not the same list as the House premed list you may be subscribed to):
Subscribe at https://web.lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/lists/harvardocs-medschool-applicants-list.lists.fas.harvard.edu/ with a @college.harvard.edu address, @post.harvard.edu address, or @alumni.harvard.edu address. Note: If you do not have a @post or @alumni.harvard.edu email address, please email premed@fas.harvard.edu with your name, @college.harvard.edu email, and preferred email so we can verify that you were an undergraduate at Harvard.
All MCS medical school application webinars will not be live, but recorded asynchronously and posted to the MCS website/shared via the applicant listserv. Again, all handouts from application webinars can be accessed in our shared materials folder.
We look forward to supporting you as you start preparing your applications and throughout the 2027-28 admissions cycle!
Oona and Rob
