Individual Advising Request

Thank you for your interest in our program! All applicants should thoroughly review our website before requesting individual advising. Our admissions requirements page clearly outlines the admissions process and criteria for our program. If you feel you need additional assistance, please complete the survey below. The admissions staff will only review your survey response, application reviews are not provided. Most requests will receive an email response. Individual meetings are offered on a limited basis to individuals with extenuating circumstances that would benefit from one-on-one advising with a member from the admissions team. Highschool (or younger) students should reach out to pre-health or pre-veterinary advisors for support. Prerequisite and/or course/transcript evaluations are not provided.
