Application for Professional School 

To open your application and initiate your application file, please follow these steps below. Documents you need to submit for your application file are in Microsoft Word for easy editing and printing. A personalized, tailored, and complete cover letter of recommendation will be written by the Chief Pre-Professional Advisor based on your submission.

1. Complete a copy of the resume form by adding your information to the Resume Form template. Delete anything from the form or add anything that is appropriate for you.

2. Attach a picture to your resume.

3. Complete the Evaluation Request Form. Professional Schools in excess of 10 must be approved by the Chief Pre-Professional Advisor.
4. The file containing Recommendation Forms contains three copies. Complete the top portion and give one copy to each of your references to complete. The professors serving as references will return them to the S270.
5. Make an appointment with the Chief Pre-Professional Advisor when your application is complete to confirm all information that will be included in your cover letter of recommendation.

It is your responsibility to see that forms are completed and submitted to the Dean’s Office, S270. Check with the Dean’s Office to be certain your file is complete. If letters of recommendation are not submitted you may have to remind your professors. To check the status of the evaluation request or to have a completed evaluation sent to a professional school, you should contact Teresa Holschuh at 696-2372.

If a student chooses to use letters of recommendation from a previous year, they may do so by submitting a written request (e-mail will suffice). Letters of Recommendation will remain on file in the College of Science for five years from the last year they were sent to professional schools.

If you are applying to Allopathic Medical, Osteopathic Medical, Dental, Pharmacy, or Veterinary school you will be required to submit some credentials via an application submission service. You may find information about the services for the Application Service. If the school to which you wish to apply does not use a submission service you need to consult each institution about the procedure for application submission.

COS is not responsible for sending academic transcripts; you must contact the Office of the Registrar. You must request, in writing (not e-mail), an official transcript from the Office of the Registrar. If you are applying to a school that requires the use of an application service the transcript has to be sent to the service.
