Managing Acceptances
Health professions schools have varying timelines for notifying applicants about acceptances.
Interviewing for Health Professions School (older version)
Participating in interviews is a critical part of the application process. Not only is a school trying to decide if an applicant is a good fit for the institution, the school is also trying to market the school and its programs to the applicant. An interview can greatly enhance or negatively impact an applicant’s chance for admission.
Sending Application Updates (Health Professions Advising resource)
The application process spans a long period of time. During that time, you have have accomplishments you would want to share with the schools to which you are applying.
Completing Secondary Applications (Health Profession Schools)
After receiving your primary application, health professions schools may ask you to complete a secondary application and pay a supplemental application fee.
GPA Calculations for Health Profession Schools
In evaluating your application, health professions schools will look at your courses, grades, and grade point averages (GPAs). They may look at your overall GPA from Wellesley, your overall undergraduate GPA (including any undergraduate courses taken away from Wellesley), and your graduate GPA. Many will also look at your science or “BCPM” GPA, which is typically calculated from Biology (including Neuroscience), Chemistry, Physics, and Math (including statistics) course grades.
Fulbright Program (rising seniors & graduates)
Supports a year (or occasionally more) of study or research abroad in any discipline, or year-long English teaching assistantships (ETAs) abroad in programs designed by the host countries. Eligible are graduating seniors and graduates who are US citizens. Campus application deadline for Wellesley students and graduates typically in August, after an optional draft deadline in July.
