Through the ePortfolio process, students will regularly gather materials – personal statements, academic progress review, and reflections on professional development experiences – that will assist them in the development of a holistic profile and prepare them for the professional school application process.
Pre-Health Committee
The Pre-Health Committee reviews candidates in the final stages of the application process to support a successful application and prepare candidates for professional school interviews.
