We have put in a great deal of thought into the development of the PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office website, and have used our past experience to include information that students frequently request. Before reaching out by email, phone, or making an appointment, please check the office website FIRST – you may find that we have already provided an answer to your question!
Current UMBC students and UMBC undergraduate alumni can schedule a pre-health advising appointment via our online appointment scheduling portal (below). Appointment times are opened on a rolling basis (no more than 2 weeks in advance), so if all of the appointments are currently booked, please check back on the next business day. Walk-in hours are not available at this time.
Incoming UMBC undergraduate students are eligible for Health Professions Advising after they have accepted an offer of admission to UMBC. In order to receive the best advice possible, incoming students must wait until their transfer coursework has been received, evaluated, and applied to their UMBC records before they make an appointment with a Health Professions Advisor.
Prospective UMBC students and those in the process of applying to UMBC are not eligible for one-on-one Health Professions Advising appointments. However, they are invited to explore the PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office website to learn more about preparing for health professional school at UMBC. Representatives from our office also frequently attend events sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, so please take advantage of those opportunities. Prospective students or applicants may direct questions about the UMBC admissions process to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Incoming and current students are encouraged to watch this orientation video prior to making their first appointment with an advisor.
In addition, the pre-requisite sheets are always available, here.
