• Freshmen/Sophomores: Look for opportunities to shadow over the holiday. The most successful applicants from our University have between 50-100 shadowing hours. Get started now! Regardless of your prehealth track, shadowing and volunteering during holiday breaks are a great way to slowly gather your observation hours. Think about what you want your summer 2023 involvement to look like and make a plan.
• Juniors: Review your resumes and write out reflections for each experience. Start thinking about ideas for your personal statement. Make a note to schedule an appointment with a prehealth advisor in the spring. This is a big year!
• Seniors: In the application process now? Been accepted? Still waiting to hear? Taking a gap year? Reach out to your prehealth advisor with an update. We are here to help you finalize plans. Also: MAKE SURE THAT YOU APPLY FOR GRADUATION.

Your health professions advisor is able to discuss competitiveness for health professions graduate programs, co-curricular activities, standardized testing for graduate school, etc.
