Pre-Medicine Biology Students

Pre-Medicine students commonly major in biology but may choose any major they wish. Pre-Medicine is an academic advisement area. We offer focused advisement by professors who advise other Pre-Medicine students.

Most medical schools require:

• Letters of recommendation, from “the pre-med advisor” or “the pre-med committee.”  What we send instead is a composite evaluation.  Students interested in applying to any graduate program (not just medical schools) should learn about the composite evaluation and its advantages over a single letter of recommendation.  Pre-meds, in particular, must become familiar with the timetable of the composite evaluation process.
• You must take certain courses at the right time to be prepared for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Students usually take this at the end of their junior year.
