Sophomore PreHealth Advising Meeting

Sophomore PreHealth Advising meeting

Current UMBC sophomores or sophomore-transfer students who are interested in attending medical, dental, optometry, or veterinary school after graduating from UMBC are invited to attend this optional Sophomore PreHealth Advising meeting.

From a pre-health advising perspective, you should attend the Sophomore Advising Meeting if:

This is your third or fourth semester in college.
or
You are currently enrolled in CHEM 351 or CHEM 352 or BIOL 302 or BIOL 303.

This meeting will address pre-professional specific advising issues for sophomores such as professional school prerequisite courses, grades, standardized exams, gaining research, clinical, and leadership experience, along with a focus on preparing for the professional school application cycle and timing of standardized exams. Between now and the meeting, sophomores should acquire a working knowledge of the information on the office’s website. All sophomore students interested in attending medical, dental, optometry, or veterinary school after they graduate from UMBC, are strongly encouraged to attend.

Pre-professional students have TWO advisors–an Assigned Academic/Declared Major Advisor and a supplemental, pre-health advisor. Please read about the differences between your TWO advisors here. It is strongly suggested that each student meet with their Assigned Academic/Declared Major Advisor prior to attending the pre-health group advising session. Only your Assigned Academic Advisor in your declared major can lift your registration block.

There is no need to RSVP. Please save this date on your calendar if you are interested in attending this optional event.
