Biographical Information Form
Click here to download the form which is your authorization for the Health Sciences Committee to write you a letter of recommendation. In order to give us enough time to do our best work, please submit this completed form to the committee by the end of the first week of classes (fall semester).
Request for Recommendation Letters
Click here to download the request/waiver form that you provide to each person from whom you are requesting a letter of recommendation. Typically, letter writers are faculty, work supervisors, and professionals in your intended field that know you well. Signed letters, using stationery with a personal or professional letterhead, are to be mailed directly to the HSC by the letter-writer. Do not include any with your application materials.
Please request letters from your recommenders by mid-June, and mention to each recommender that the letter needs to be mailed and received by the HSC by the end of the second week of September. Even if you are taking a summer course, performing a job-shadow, or holding a summer internship or research position with a potential recommender, it will be helpful for her/him to know early that you are requesting a letter, and it will expedite the HSC's work on your behalf if their letter is received in early September.
