Researching Linkage Programs

Early in the fall term, students considering linkage should take the following steps:

• Attend the linkage program information session held by the Postbac Premed Program advisors
• Visit linkage schools, and speak with admissions officers, faculty, and medical students, and tour its facilities. The Premedical Office arranges for visits to several linkage schools.
• Consult with their premedical advisor about his or her interest in linkage and about the specific schools in which he or she is interested. Premedical advisors will help determine whether a student is a reasonably strong candidate for specific schools. Such consultations may increase the likelihood of nomination.
