  The letters of recommendation must be properly signed and sealed from professionals who know the applicant well. The Office of Admissions will accept letters from pre-health advisors/committees, science professors, and health professionals.

• Official transcripts from each college or university attended.

  Applicants must enclose official transcripts from every undergraduate, graduate, or professional school that they have attended or are currently attending. These transcripts must be sealed and signed by the registrar at each institution. If the applicant has completed coursework at an institution in a foreign country, he/she must also submit an official, detailed course-by-course evaluation of this coursework. The applicant must obtain this evaluation from one of the following services:

• Scores from the Medical College Admission Tests (MCAT), Pharmacy College Admissions Test (PCAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Dental Admissions Test (DAT), or other professional program.

After receiving the completed application packet, an admission staff member verifies the information provided to determine whether all prerequisite coursework has been completed satisfactorily or will be completed prior to potential matriculation and to verify the applicant's cumulative GPA for all completed courses. The application materials are reviewed to determine eligibility for an interview (invitation only). A phone interview is possible for those applicants who are unable to be interviewed in person. Completed applications and interview summaries are forwarded to the Biomedical Sciences Program Admissions Committee. Each applicant will be notified in writing of the admissions action/decision.

Please Note: An applicant can track the receipt of their application materials and the status of the file on our University website using instructions for accessing your account information that will be sent by the Office of Admissions after receipt of your application. Please notify us of any changes to your mailing address and e-mail address.
