Does the committee chair write letters for every student who applies?
The University of Puget Sound does not have an internal screening process to qualify for a committee letter. Any student–current or alum–may request a committee letter, and one will be written for all who participate in the Health Professions Advising Program. Participation includes: a Health Professions Advising interview, requesting confidential letters to be sent to the HPA office, and turning in a committee letter request form and waiver. Students whose credentials–admissions test scores and GPA–fall below those which are considered to be competitive, are counseled to discuss the weaknesses. Those students are encouraged to strengthen their application before they apply.
