Advising for Medical and Dental Professions

The PreProfessional Advising Office is here to help students navigate the path thru your undergraduate experience here at the U, and hopefully into the next stage of the path toward becoming a doctor, whether it’s of medicine, dentistry or one of the other areas we advise for.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

From the moment a student considers the U, becoming a competitive applicant to any professional school is about so much more than completing a list of prerequisite classes. It’s about finding that unique matrix of experiences that’s going help each student be, individually, the most competitive applicant that each one can be when they hit that submit button for their professional school application service.

At our office, you can:

Make appointments to meet one-on-one with an advisor

  • Get your questions answered- whether it be about prerequisite courses, University requirements and policies, extracurricular activities, or an application process
  • Use/checkout materials from the PPA resources library, including information about professional schools and test preparation materials
  • Get help with editing personal statements and sending letters of recommendation
  • Schedule a mock interview with a full time advisor to prepare for an interview at a professional school
  • And more!

Feel free to call or email us anytime with questions—or just drop by the office and take advantage of our “there to share” jar while you get a question answered or make an appointment. We are here to help you!
