CHECKLIST TO COMPLETE THE PRE-MEDICAL FILE
(Keep this for reference)
- Picture (black/white or color), for our internal records
- Premedical student information sheet
(Signed by the Chief Premedical Adviser and your Premed Adviser) - Statement of Understanding and Confidentiality (signed by you)
- Copy of MCAT Scores if you did not release them to advisor
- 5 letters from faculty, community, employer, physician, etc.; minimum of 2 science letters (prefer 3) and 2 others; must have one letter from your major, and one from a physician.
(Confidential letters carry more weight than non-confidential letters) - $12 check, payable to the College of Science.
- Copy of AMCAS or AACOMAS Application (must include activities section and personal statement)
- A final list of medical schools to which you applied.
COMMENTS: You must schedule a meeting first with the Chief Premedical Adviser (Chere Pereira) then with your own adviser and get both signatures on the Premedical Information Sheet before your premedical file can be officially opened.
Please complete this packet and bring it to the meeting, along with a tentative list of schools and personal statement (a rough draft is ok).
A list of premedical advisers is available in the College of Science Office.
You must be in the application process before you can open a file. Letters of recommendation on your behalf can be sent to the College of Science Office anytime and will be kept in a general file until you officially open your premedical file.
