We will not be able to scan in the Berkeley transcript in addition to your UCSF transcript. In addition, we must have a consistent policy regarding these transcripts and some students do not want programs to have their grades or gpa information. We cannot send the transcript for some students and not for others. If you want to use your UCB transcript as part of your application I suggest that you e-mail the program and briefly explain the JMP connection to UCSF and that you would like to forward a copy of your UCB transcript to them because the UCSF transcript does not reflect the breadth of your experience. If you receive a favorable reply, then simply order copies for the UCB Registrar and have them sent to the programs where you are applying.
Most programs ask for three letters of support in addition to the dean's letter.
In general we recommend that letters of support be written by senior faculty members with whom you have worked in clinical or research settings. A letter from a faculty member in the program you are applying to is often the most significant. In addition, many programs require a letter of support from the chair of the corresponding department on our campus. Don't hesitate to request a letter from a department chair if your application requests it. Your letter writers will need at least one month advance notice of deadlines.
