The general aim of these sessions is to keep the students on track, and to distribute test registration and application packets in timely fashion. We strongly urge students to attend group meetings to learn general information. Programs and workshops vary, but always include one on preparation of the personal statement for juniors. An interview workshop is conducted for seniors. The Resource Center in 313 Hall of Languages, contains catalogs of U.S. medical, dental, veterinary, optometry and podiatry schools in addition to those of many allied health professional schools.
Computers are available to download and complete electronic applications and research.
Students will also find, current admission requirement manuals and financial aid guidelines as well as much other specific and general information in periodicals and books, both professional and popular, and videotapes. Admissions test information, registration packets and brochures are available, as are limited actual review materials. Updated information about summer and post-baccalaureate programs can be found on the HPAP website. Recommendations from faculty, supervisors and employers are generally requested formally by the Program, after the applicant has spoken with prospective recommendors. Student files in the HPAP office are retained for 7 years.
