The application process to health professions schools is complex and lengthy. If you are a junior, senior or alumnus applying to medical, dental, optometry, or podiatry school you will need to obtain certain forms and related materials from the Pre-Health Office. All categories of applicant mentioned above must obtain a copy of the Applicant Handbook. To do so you should contact the Pre-Health Office and ask to be added to the 'Pre-Health Applicant Information' organization on Brightspace. If you are a re-applicant please consult the appropriate section below.

Credentialing
Credentialing is the process by which you assemble materials and have them submitted in support of your application to a health professions program. At 绿帽社, credentialing is carried out through what is known as a composite evaluation system. Under this arrangement you submit, and have submitted, a variety of materials which are placed in a credentials file. When this file is complete, the Director of Pre-Health Services edits this material, adds his own comments, and writes an evaluation. It is this evaluation, along with some attached letters chosen by the Director of Pre-Health Services, which is sent to the health professions schools to which you have applied. The steps you must follow to accomplish this are described in detail in the Applicant Handbook.
Information for Re-Applicants
If you are re-applying to professional school, you may obtain credentialing information through the links listed below. In addition, you are strongly encouraged to speak with the Director of Pre-Health Services since the re-application process can be less clear and more involved that your original application.
Pre-Health Credentialing Fee
Please follow the link to access the payment system and submit your payment.
If you receive a significant amount of financial aid you may qualify for a fee waiver. If you believe this applies to you, please complete the Fee Waiver Request Form below, attach it to an email, and send it to James Willmot, Pre-Health Administrative Assistant, at jwillmot@binghamton.edu. (Do not alter the form. The blue boxes must remain so that additional information can be added during the review process).
