  2. Your request will be reviewed by the Committee. Once you are determined to be eligible, you will receive access to a shared Google Drive folder. In this folder, you will upload your resume/CV, transcripts, personal statement (draft is fine) and photo.  All materials must be uploaded to your folder by May 1st.
  3. You will be assigned to a member of the Committee that will write your letter. Your Committee Letter-writer will reach out to you to schedule a virtual Mock Interview. Be sure to check your email and correspond with your Committee Letter Writer. These Mock Interviews will be done virtually. The Mock Interview is a chance to practice interviewing; to get the most out of this experience, treat this interview that same as you would for an application interview with your chosen professional school.  
  4. Collect individual Letters of Evaluation (Recommendation) using your Interfolio account*. These letters will come from your professors, clinicians, and others that can speak to you as a pre-health applicant. It is recommended that you begin requesting Letter of Evaluation early in this process to give your writers adequate time. All your Letters of Evaluation must be uploaded into your Interfolio account by June 1st. Email Dr. Wendy Pogozelski (pogozels@geneseo.edu) once all your letters are in.
  5. Your assigned Committee Letter-writer will combine your individual Letters of Evaluation in your Interfolio account with items from your interview, resume, and personal statement to complete a composite letter.  The letter will be shared with the rest of the Committee who will also add items to your letter.

*You will need a (free) Interfolio dossier account to collect your individual Letters of Evaluation (Recommendation). Once your account is set up and you have an individual (professor, clinician, etc) agree to writing you a letter, you will enter the writer's information into Interfolio and a link to your account will be sent to them. The writer will use this link to upload their letter for you. You will need to call or email Interfolio and say, "Please link my account to Geneseo PreHealth." 

Please note, you need a 3.0 GPA to request a committee letter.  If you have reasons for a lower GPA and would like to petition the committee for a composite letter, please send an email to Dr. Wendy Pogozelski (pogozels@geneseo.edu) with your request.
