Here are some of the topics I discuss with Dr. Rivera:

• Virtual second look events: What should students be looking to get out of them, and what are the schools trying to get out of them?
• How are medical schools going to look at pass/fail grades from this semester and prerequisites that were taken online? What accommodations will be made?
• How will canceled MCAT dates from Coronavirus affect medical school application timing? Dr. Rivera talks about the changes that NYU is considering.
• How will canceled shadowing, research, and clinical experiences affect your application? How should you discuss these things on your app?
• Should you put activities on your med school application that you had planned for but got canceled?
• What kinds of questions might there be about COVID-19 in secondary applications or med school interviews this year?
