Blogging: OCS premed counselors give it a try

Lee Ann and I would like to give the whole blog thing a try. We think this has the potential to become a useful resource for Harvard students and alumni interested in the health professions.

Informal feedback and impressions are good. We hope this blog will provide a way to capture our thoughts on what we’re seeing and hearing--from admissions deans, from other advisors within and outside of Harvard, from students and alumni. There are rarely cut-and-dry answers for many issues that concern students (especially since many answers depend on individual circumstances). So this would be a way for us to provide you with a bit more commentary and context even if not definitive answers.

In the spirit of "good" blogging, we'll try to update often, share opinions (since "information" is best shared in other ways), and spend less rather than more time on each entry (or else it wouldn't be blogging).

If you all find this useful, wonderful. Otherwise, we'll try something else. Please feel free to give us feedback via the blog or email. We really do want to know how we can better communicate with you.
