Most health professional schools
utilize a centralized application service. The applicant sends
one application to a central processing location which verifies
transcripts and calculates GPA’s, forwarding the information
to the schools designated. Not all schools utilize such services,
so it is important to that you check with each school to which
you apply to make sure you know how to initiate an application.
Most schools, after receiving the preliminary application from
the centralized application service, will require additional
information and an additional application fee. Applications
should be available in the Office of Pre-Professional Advising
(OPPA), 208 Sumwalt College, or you may order them directly from
the following services.
