The pre-health professions committee at NWU serves premedical, predental, preveterinary, prepharmacy, prepodiatry, preoptometry, prephysician assistant, and allied health students.

Advising: the committee is made up of four NWU faculty members. The chair of the committee is Professor Cindy Marolf. You can schedule an appointment with Professor Marolf to ask questions regarding application to professional school.

Resources: We have a collection of materials you are welcome to check out and read, including:

  • Medical school publications
  • Resource books including ADEA Guide to Dental Schools, Medical School Admission requirements, Medical Professions Admission Guide, and Preparing a Successful Professional School Application
  • Sample test materials and review books
  • Personal statement writing guides

Committee letter: If you are applying to medical or dental school, the pre-health committee will prepare a summary, or collated letter about you. It incorporates highlights of your personal data, summaries of your individual letters of recommendation you have had sent to the committee, and a recommendation or evaluation of your abilities by the committee. NWU will be responsible for having this letter and copies of your individual letters of recommendation sent to the school(s) you choose to apply to. Few colleges provide their medical and dental school applicants with such integrated servicies.
