The People who Mattered
Jennifer R. Pippins '96, says she relied upon alumni and tutors to get inside perspective of what medical school is like.
"Alumni help translate the Medical school experience into a language
Harvard students can understand. Houses also play a huge role-they draw on current Medical school students as tutors and advisors.
Pippins is also a resident tutor for Medicine in Leverett House.
"The role of the house is to help premeds through the entire process-
we essentially walk them through the application process. As juniors you get assigned a tutor who helps you out, offers mock interviews etc. OCS also has a premed tutor for the campus. OCS serves as a resource for houses and house tutors and provides students with more information about other Medical schools" said Pippins.
