Pre-Health Application Process

The application process for health profession schools begins in earnest in the spring semester. During the spring, you will request letters of recommendation from faculty, draft your application essays, compile your resume of activities, and prepare for your admission test. Plan to take your admission test (MCAT, DAT, etc.) at the end of the spring (typically April or May), and to begin working on your applications at the beginning of the summer. Professional school interviews are scheduled in the fall and early spring of your senior year.
