Question of the Week: Preparing to Apply Next Year

April 11, 2025

Here are a few suggestions:

HPA Survey: Complete this quick survey to all of the seniors on our listserv gauging your prehealth plans, so please reply to that so we keep you on our mailing list! We will also send this by email after senior thesis season ends.
Letters of Recommendation: Touch base with potential writers to let them know your plans and gauge their enthusiasm for writing for you. Some seniors ask for their writers to draft something and submit it to our office during senior year but many wait to ask until they’re about to apply. If they know you well, they shouldn’t forget you before next spring!
Application Year Preview: We’ll host an info session on May 1, so if you’d like an overview of the application process, please attend (but there’s nothing you have to do to prepare until December/January 2025).

Schedule a check-in to assess your candidacy to date and talk about maximizing your postgrad time.
