Letters of Recommendation
Current Undergraduate Students - Students must submit a letter
of evaluation from the Health Professions Advisory Committee or the Pre-Health
Advisor from their undergraduate institution. In the absence of such a committee,
two letters of recommendation from faculty members in different departments
is acceptable, although one of the departments must be a science department.
Current Graduate Students - Students in a degree-granting
program, must submit a letter of recommendation from a graduate advisor or department
chairperson. This letter is in addition to the Health Professions
Advisor or Committee letter for undergraduate students (see above). Non-matriculated
students taking graduate courses do not need to submit this letter.
Non-Traditional Students - Students that graduated from
undergraduate college more than 5 years ago and are currently employed full-time,
may submit 1 letter of recommendation from a science faculty member with whom
a medical school prerequisite was taken and 1 letter of recommendation from
a current supervisor.
MD/PhD Applicants - Students must submit a letter of evaluation
from their Health Professions Advisory Committee or Pre-health Advisor AND
three (3) additional letters of recommendation from people familiar with their
academic background, their interest in research and their suitability for the
MD/PhD Program.
