Prehealth Committee Process for Reapplicants
Effective Monday, October 15, 2007
As the professional schools continue to become more competitive for admission, we have a number of re-applicants re-sending their Committee letter and supporting letters to the professional health schools. Because we are charged for usage of VirtualEvals (an electronic system, for transmitting letters) and need to cover the cost of envelopes, copying costs and paper, we are asking for each re-applicant to provide a flat fee of $10 for each year of reapplication. Please recall that we will send out an *unlimited* number of packets per applicant to any of the 6 professional schools (e.g., medical schools, dental schools, optometry, podiatry). If you are facing re-application, we strongly encourage you to make an appointment to help address what areas can be enhanced. Re-applicants should not be applying numerous times with the same application, but should be targeting and addressing other areas that need improvement.
If you elect NOT to come through the Committee or have missed a Committee deadline(s), you will want to consult Career Services for their Reference File service. Please go to 259 Capen or Career Services. The Committee is not intended to be used as a Reference Service for those students who have not completed the full Committee process.
This policy is effective next Monday, October 15. If we have not asked you for a fee to this point, don’t be concerned; this is not retroactive. The policies are in effect from October 15 forward.
