Getting in to the Health Care Program of Your Choice

Applying to health care programs is generally a year-long process that will require you to do many tasks simultaneously. While you are preparing to take the appropriate entry exams, you will also need to write your personal statement, research schools and obtain letters of recommendation. By the time you start contacting programs, you should have narrowed your choice to at least ten schools, taken the entry exam, obtained all recommendation letters, and written the final copy of your personal statement.

Tips from Advisers

Do research on the schools you wish to attend. Know their concentrations, strengths, weak spots, etc. Be able to demonstrate why a particular school is a good fit for your plans.
