Pre-Health Advisory Committee (PAC)
Are you preparing to apply to medical, dental, or PA school? While a committee letter is no longer part of OSU’s PAC process, we still offer valuable support to help you stand out.
The PAC Evaluation Process now includes a one-on-one review of your application and interview. This personalized feedback session is designed to help you strengthen your materials, sharpen your interview skills, and present your best self to professional schools.
Although not required, participating in the PAC process is highly recommended—many applicants find this type of review helps them strengthen their application materials and prepare them for professional school interviews.
Benefits of the PAC Evaluation:
- Completing a draft of your professional school application
- 1 - 2 professional interviews with personalized feedback
- Getting a head start on your personal statement
Applications open October 1!
