Pre-Health Advisory Committee (PAC) Evaluation
Applying to medical, dental, PA, PT, OT, or pharmacy programs?
The PAC Evaluation Process provides a realistic application experience through a mock professional school application, committee interview, and personalized one-on-one feedback session. You'll receive valuable insights to help strengthen your application materials, sharpen your interview skills, and present your best self to professional schools.

Benefits of the PAC Evaluation:
- Completing a full draft of your professional school application
- 1 - 2 professional interviews with personalized feedback

- Application Process
Applications are completed electronically and submitted using Canvas, where all application instructions, materials, and additional details are housed. Joining the PAC Canvas does not start an application and can be reversed. All application materials, including all supporting documentation, must be received on Canvas no later than the deadline to be evaluated for the interview process.
Note that the application is extensive and the quality of your feedback will reflect the amount of effort you invest. We strongly recommend starting your application in the Fall semester.
