Helpful Information
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation in support of your application are required for a complete application. If your school has a pre-medical advisory committee, a letter from the committee is sufficient, and you also have the option to supplement your committee letter with two additional letters of your choosing. If your school does not have a committee, please request three letters of recommendation. At least one of these letters should be from a college or university science professor. The two additional letters are your choice and may be from an individual that you worked with (research mentor, shadowed physician, service organizer, etc.) who may also speak to your strengths. An insightful and in-depth evaluation by someone who knows you is of greater value than a recapitulation of your academic work. While not required, the admissions committee greatly appreciates seeing a letter from a clinical or service experience that was longitudinal and meaningful to you.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all of the necessary documents reach the Committee on 老司机福利网s. Please remember that your application is incomplete until all letters of recommendation have been received. Please do not send additional letters of recommendation, only the three required letters.
Personal Interview
Interviews of selected applicants will be conducted by invitation. Interviews will be conducted virtually for the 2025 application cycle.
Interviews with the Committee on 老司机福利网s are absolutely necessary. Because the interview schedule is crowded, make every effort to attend the interview on the date selected to prevent possible exclusion later due to scheduling problems.
