Application Preparation
There are several resources for TCU Pre-Health students to find information regarding professional school application as well as to gain assistance in putting together their application. Track-specific information that includes information on requirements for applying to Medical School, PA School, Vet School, and Pharmacy School can be accessed by current students at the link at the bottom of this page. Students should plan to enroll in a course called Pre-Health Professional Development (SCIE 30613) in the spring of your 3rd or 4th year (the semester before you plan to apply to professional school). This course walks students through all aspects of the application process and, as part of the course, students will write application essays including their personal statement. In addition to helping students prepare their applications, they will also earn WEM credit. The pre-health institute also offers application support through application review, mock interviews, MMI, and committee letter. This is available to alumni as well as current students–we will offer application support regardless of when you graduated (alumni who would like to take advantage of this should email Sarah Jung at sarah.jung@tcu.edu by February 1 of the year in which you plan to apply.) In addition, there are many external resources including discounted/free test prep courses that will help you prepare for subject-based exams such as the MCAT or DAT.
