Welcome to the Harvard Pre-medical Society’s “Unofficial Guide to Premed Life” publication website and blog.
The HPS “Unofficial Guide to Premed Life” officially began in 2008 as a printed publication written by pre-medical students. Created by Harvard Pre-medical Society, which is among the largest undergraduate pre-professional student groups at Harvard College, the publication seeks to provide pre-medical students with articles on some of the most commonly requested information during their undergraduate years.
The premier publication became immensely successful in its first year, under the co-editorship of Peter Cai (‘10)* and Steve Teng (‘10); it is highly recommended by both premed readers and Harvard’s Office of Career Services alike. The Unofficial Guide transitioned into being an online publication in 2009 under the co-editorship of Qi Yu (’11) and Chi Zhang (’12). As of January 2010, the HPS Unofficial Guide has been placed under the editorships of returning editor Chi Zhang (’12) and newly selected editor Helen Yang (‘12).

*Harvard Pre-medical Society’s “Unofficial Guide to Premed Life” is posthumously dedicated to its first Editor-in-Chief, Peter Wei Cai (January 14th, 1988 – October 25th, 2008). Peter was a Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator in Adams House and a supportive and dedicated editor.
