Illuminis Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey, I am considering sending an update to many of the med schools I've applied to but have yet to hear anything from. I've done a couple noteworthy things since the summer, namely being co-author for a paper that was just accepted for publication. So I was wondering if I should send a Word document with my activities in AMCAS-format to each school, asking if they accept updates? Thanks!

I would definitely send the update but I'd probably do it in a 1 page letter format. Include some info about why you like the school/why you'd be a good fit. Definitely check if the school accepts updates first since not all schools do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickybox Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 +1 to what Rach said. I sent updates (1 page attached .doc) to pretty much all the schools I applied for and hadn't heard from yet. Most of the Canadian friendly schools are open to receiving updates. I included a publication, new activities I was currently doing, and a short paragraph on my interest in the school and how I would love the opportunity to interview and possibly matriculate at the school.

VTeight7 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Should these letters of interest be sent via email or snail mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
