Response to COVID-19 - Information for 2022 Admissions Cycle

Timeline

Our application cycle timeline remains the same.

Interviews

A decision regarding whether interviews will be in person or virtual will be made in August 2021 for the 2022 Admissions Cycle.

Pass/Fail Grading

Our school will accept pass/fail grades, without prejudice, for courses taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has always been our practice to consider grades in the context of numerous other aspects of the application, and an international crisis certainly provides a unique and compelling context. In making this statement, we are cognizant of the fact that some undergraduate schools are providing an option for students to take courses either for grades or on a Pass/Fail basis. We therefore want to be explicit that applicants should not feel pressured by us to choose the graded option. Students and their families are facing many challenges at the moment – maybe even life and death challenges. The pressure for grades need not be one of them.

MCAT

We encourage individuals to not delay their application submission while awaiting an MCAT score. We will require applicants to have taken the MCAT before we make admissions decisions for the Class of 2026. Applicants should not delay applying simply because an MCAT score is not yet available.
