What kind of support does Mount Holyoke provide to pre-health students?
Pre-health advising is available to you from your first semester here and continues to be available once you become an alumna. The Dean of Pre-Health Programs and the Committee on the Health Professions provide advice and guidance on choosing courses, planning internships, selecting schools, preparing for standardized entrance exams, working through the application process, and practice interviews. Your pre-health advisor will also write a composite letter of recommendation for you, which provides a comprehensive summary of all aspects of your preparation, including course work, internships, research, entrance exam scores, and comments contained in your individual recommendation letters. All students should formally declare their intentions to the Committee no later than March 31 of the year in which they are planning to begin their application.
