Committee Letter of Evaluation

Each applicant who seeks a committee letter of evaluation will be interviewed by a panel of committee members. Immediately following the interview, the committee will provide the applicant with an assessment of his or her interviewing skills, motivation, preparedness, and perspective of the chosen career.

In addition to the committee’s assessment of the applicant, the committee letter of evaluation will include comments from science faculty as well as from non-science faculty, employers, and other that have been solicited by the applicant.

The committee letter of evaluation will not be written until after the committee interview has occurred, and the committee interview will not be scheduled until all of the following information has been submitted by the applicant:

*Andrew will have the Academic Dishonesty Form and Disciplinary Standing Form completed for you by Joe Dacey, Director of Academic Services and Advising, and Brandon White, Director of Community Standards, respectively. Andrew will fill out the test score and GPA information sheet, too, as long as you provide him with the information.

** A copy is required in your file for the Committee Interview. You may request this very easily from the Registrar’s website and they will mail it directly to Andrew. Remember: it is your responsibility to request that the Registrar at each college/university you have attended (including Stonehill and any international universities) send an official copy of your transcript that contains your final semester’s grades to the appropriate primary application service and/or individual schools to which you are applying, whichever is required for the type of health profession schools to which you apply.
