Second Look: Through April 13
The MD Admissions team has a new format for Second Look this year. Rather than being condensed into one weekend, Second Look is spread across a series of online evening events from March 7 through April 13. Prospective students can join these online sessions to learn about topics such as the Yale System and Curriculum, DEI, Innovation, and Global Health Opportunities. There also are evenings for admitted students to engage with student affinity groups. All-day Virtual Second Look events are scheduled for March 30 for admitted MD-PhD students and March 31 and April 1 for admitted MD and MD-PhD students.
Over 120 admitted students have registered for an all-day, in-person Second Look event on Saturday, April 26, where they will go on tours, meet current students, and have conversations with Dean Nancy J. Brown, MD, Deputy Dean Darin Latimore, MD, and Associate Dean for Student Affairs John Francis, MD, PhD. If you are on campus that day, please welcome any admitted students you may meet.
