If you are not 100% sure this is the year to apply, then we highly recommend doing a quick self-assessment to see if there are areas where your candidacy might be improved. Ask yourself if you are applying when you are the strongest possible candidate?
- Review the committee interview rubric and give yourself a score based on where you are now.
- The MSAR is an online database that enables you to browse, search, sort, and compare information about U.S. and Canadian medical schools. You will use it extensively as you build your school list, and since a membership lasts for one year, it might make sense to purchase permission at this point to get a sense for the sorts of metrics and experiences that medical schools value.
- If you are still not sure, we’d be happy to schedule a phone or in-person appointment with you.
The HPC Timeline has been updated online (available here) and you may begin the HPC process at any time.
Please make sure to thoroughly review the online timeline (a visual timeline is available here.)
