Sophomore PreHealth Advising meeting

Attendance is strongly suggested at this group advising meeting for any current UMBC sophomore or sophomore-transfer student who is interested in attending medical, dental, optometry, podiatry, or veterinary school after graduating from UMBC.

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. 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, podiatry, or veterinary school after they graduate from UMBC, are strongly encouraged to attend.

Pre-professional students have TWO advisors–an Assigned Academic/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/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.
