Can I apply to a health professions professional school without talking to a health professions advisor?
Sure, and students do every year. However, it is to your advantage to work with a health professions advisor. They can provide counseling regarding your chosen career; they stay current with changes in professional school requirements, especially the Colorado schools; they can write letters of reference for you; and they can assist you with the process of applying and interviewing for professional schools. Pre-medical students who work closely with an advisor, for instance, are two to three times more likely to be admitted to medical school. Success in gaining entrance to a professional school is almost entirely up to you, but your advisor can assist you in that endeavor.
