The Pre-Medicine Advisory Committee plays a vital role in supporting students applying to medical school. The committee arranges interviews to provide students with detailed feedback on their application materials and prepares a comprehensive Committee Letter of Recommendation based on the interview.

Schedule interview

Student Evaluation: The committee assesses each student’s achievements at Missouri S&T, focusing on:

  • Grades in medical school prerequisite courses
  • Volunteer activities
  • Leadership roles
  • Exposure to the medical profession
  • Communication skills
  • Maturity and self-awareness, including strengths and weaknesses

Application Enhancement: Students receive personalized feedback on their personal statement and activity descriptions to ensure their applications are as strong as possible.

  • Interviews are conducted in April and May for students planning to apply to medical schools.
  • Both current students and alumni can take advantage of the committee’s resources, regardless of whether a committee letter is required for their application
