Files in Career Development must be completed early in semester (complete by March 15 to be safe!)

Interview with Premedical Advisory Committee (students with completed files will be advised of the dates, usually in late semester)

Take MCAT review course, if desired (Contact Kaplan, Princeton Review, or ExamKrackers directly, if interested.  Locations and cost vary.)

Take MCAT; list Purchase College as undergraduate institution to receive results. (Results usually received in mid-June; computer administered test may now be available at other times)

Earliest date to submit materials to AMCAS; AMCAS will send    student information to AMCAS schools listed on application.  If   applying to any non-AMCAS schools, contact schools directly for applications.

Take MCAT if not taken in April, or if decision is made to re-take the test.  (results not received until October.)

Receive requests for, and mail out, information for secondary       applications.  Career Development sends out premedical committee letters per student request in writing (with deadline, if applicable).  Note that letters are not usually sent out until (1) MCAT scores have been received at Purchase, and (2) revised files are completed (if requested by committee).

Cost for mailings: Undergraduate Purchase student: 5 free mailings; $3 per additional mailing; Post-bac students: $5 per mailing (Checks made out to Purchase College Foundation.)

Interviews at Medical Schools

Make final decisions about Medical School to attend.  Notify Career Development and Division of Natural Sciences where you plan to    attend.
