Before you make the decision to reapply, it is important to discuss the issues that contributed to the results of your previous application with Dr. Verrier. Prior to your appointment, please consider the following questions:.
• Was your MCAT competitive and received in a timely way?
• Were your cumulative GPA and science GPA competitive; if not, have you taken a significant amount of coursework to supplement your previous application?
• Have you continued patient-related experiences to demonstrate your passion for a career in healthcare and dedication to service?
If you have decided to reapply for admission to health professions school for entry in the fall of 2010, the timing of your application submission will depend on in which of the following categories you belong:
1) You were an applicant in the 2009 cycle and you are not on any waitlists: In this case, you are best advised to reapply as early as possible in the 2010 application cycle (i.e., as close to June 1, 2009, as possible).
2) You were an applicant in the 2009 application cycle and you ARE on one or more waitlists: In this case, you may be considering delaying your reapplication until later in the summer in case you receive an acceptance.
3) You were an applicant in an application cycle prior to 2010: In this case, you are best advised to apply as early as possible in the 2010 application cycle.
Due to the importance of applying early, it is strongly recommended that all reapplicants apply no later than July 15, 2009. It has been our experience that applicants who submit their application materials later in the application cycle are not competitive for acceptance to health professions schools. THE FINAL DEADLINE FOR REAPPLICANTS TO SUBMIT THEIR MATERIALS IS AUGUST 28, 2009. • Complete the Health Professions Committee Application (even if you have previously gone through the Committee process)
• Update your resume to facilitate filling in the “Work and Activities” section of the AMCAS application and to request a new recommendation.
• Write a new personal statement. Share with Office of Pre-Professional Programs and Advising.
• Approach faculty and others who are either updating former letters of recommendation or writing new letters of recommendation. Share with these faculty your updated resume, highlighting aspects of your application that have been strengthened since your previous application. You must have at least one new or updated recommendation.
Be sure to share with us your updated resume and aspects of your application that have been strengthened since your previous application. Also, be prepared to review your recommenders to determine the letters of recommendation that will be included in the application materials that are submitted to your designated schools. The reapplicant committee letter will be an integration of your former committee letter with perspectives gained from your discussions with Dr. Verrier on the steps you have taken to improve your candidacy.
Photo - If a photo is already in your file, you do not need to provide a new one.
Transcripts - If you have taken any classes since you last applied to health professions school, have all official transcripts sent to this office.
Recommendations - Request any new recommendations you want included in your file. Make sure you give new evaluation forms to your recommenders to complete and return with your letters of recommendation. It is strongly recommended that at least one new letter be added to the file.
AMCAS Application - Your application, including your personal statement, must be submitted before your materials will be mailed to your designated schools.
