Requirements
for
the Health Sciences Recommendations Committee
REQUIREMENTS: - All students applying for an interview MUST
have at least a 3.2 GPA for consideration.
- You must have
taken at least 30 hours of classes here at B.U., including three classes or 12
hours of science based classes including a lab.
- The following is
the list of pre-professional interests that the committee will write letters for:
Medicine, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy (4 yr), Physical
Therapy, Podiatry and Veterinary Medicine. If your choice is NOT in this list,
you are not eligible to go through the committee. If you have questions, please
ASK!
- You must have completed the Practicum or have equivalent experience
before you will be allowed to go through the interview process. "Equivalent experience"
will be evaluated and approved by Ms. Sima. Please see her with questions.
- A poorly written application will not be accepted. It must
be typed neatly. You will be required to retrieve the application
from the web site at: http://www.ben.edu/hsrc and complete it
in Word format. Paper copies of the application will NOT be
available. Use the Spell-Check! Please note that the International
Center and the Student Success Center offer help with grammar
and writing. If you need assistance completing the application,
contact Carol Swett 829-6355 in the International Center or
Tina Sonderby 829-6512 in the SSC.
- The most important of all criteria upon which a student
will be evaluated is honesty and personal integrity. Any student who cheats, copies,
or falsifies data (e.g. practicum time of observation, etc.), is endangering his/her
academic credentials, and personal reputation. Information received from the Deans,
Faculty Members, Administrative Staff or hospital/clinic staff regarding questionable
behavior by a student could give the entire Committee or a Committee member the
option to refuse to interview that student or retract their recommendation at
any time following the interviewing process.
- You will not be allowed
to re-interview with the Committee unless you receive a "Recommend with Reservation"
evaluation or have substantial changes. In either instance, you must meet with
Dr. Tischler for re-interview approval.
- A checklist has been added
to the application packet. Please use it to make sure your application is complete.
You will need to sign one copy and attach it to the top of your application submission.
An incomplete application will be returned to you. You will then have the opportunity
to make corrections until the deadline date. If corrections are not received by
the due date, you will be referred to the next interview session.
- Original
completed application AND 5 COPIES = 6 TOTAL (back to back is OK) must be returned
to Michelle Mosier (BK 348) by the deadline date for you to be considered for
an interview during the Spring session. Completed applications must be returned
with a picture of you (black and white or color with a white or cream background)
on each application. (Put the original photo on the original application and then
make five additional copies)
