Pre-Med/Pre-Dental Student Voluntary Survey: How has COVID-19 impacted you? (Mayo Clinic and Quinnipiac University)

Pre-med students across the country are being asked to participate in a voluntary research survey about how the COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting them academically at the undergraduate level, and whether they have any concerns about how this will affect their medical school application. 

Medical schools recognize that many undergraduate pre-medical students are going through a difficult and chaotic time right now. Virtual classes, pass/fail, shifted MCATs, and unknown circumstances are likely leading to increased anxiety, especially for those applying to medical school this next cycle.

 

If you agree to participate you will be asked to complete a short survey that is expected to take less than 5 minutes to finish. The survey is anonymous, and no identifiable information will be collected.

 

The benefits which may reasonably be expected to result from this research study are that medical schools will better understand undergraduate student concerns and adjust their admissions process in a positive way during the upcoming cycles.
