The Committee Letter

Based on the materials you provide º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ (packet due June 1), your members, and the letters of recommendation you have had sent to º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, the Pre-Health Committee will prepare a "collated letter," or summary letter about you. It incorporates highlights of your personal data, what your letters have said about you, and a recommendation by the committee. For medical school applicants, this collated letter and original letters will be posted on VirtualEvals, a secure on-line service that will make your password-protected file accessible to ONLY the schools you are applying to. VirtualEvals will send you an email when your letters have been posted and another when each school downloads your file. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ will cover the cost of this service (approximately $20 per student). If you are applying to dental schools or if a medical school you apply to does not subscribe to VirtualEvals, paper copies will be sent. Take advantage early of the advice and services the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Pre-Health committee offers, as few colleges provide its medical school applicants with such integrated services.
