Students from multiple disciplines can take advantage of the committee. Any student applying to Medical School, Dental School, Physician Assistant School, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Optometry School or Veterinary School can utilize the committee.

When to Apply to the Committee: Students that are applying early decision to medical school, dental school or physician assistant schools should interview in the Spring semester. Regular admission candidates for medical school can interview in the Fall semester.
