What Happens at HPA Over the Summer?
HPA remains open throughout the summer, so stop by anytime if you'd like to borrow MCAT books or summer reading!
In early June, HPA will be moving to McCosh Health! We hope that this location makes it easier for students to visit.
During June and July, Kate and Gabriela focus on writing committee letters of recommendation and working with this year's professional school applicants. Due to these tasks, time is limited for appointments; if you're a junior or senior, reach out to us directly with your questions and availability. Jordan will continue meeting with first-years and sophomores, and he'll facilitate a weekly summer seminar series.
In August, we prepare for the incoming class and the new academic year. There will be more advising appointment availability after the rush of medical and dental school applications.
Although our Vitals newsletter goes on vacation in the summer, we'll keep sharing updates on our website!
