The SUNY Oswego Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) provides support for pre-health students as they progress through this phase of their education.
HPAC Letter of Recommendation
Most MD programs, many DO programs, and some others (like DDS and OD) require a letter of recommendation from the Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC). You must submit all your materials to the HPAC Chair at 222 Marano Campus Center, during the office hours of 8-11:45 am, Monday to Friday. Materials must be submitted between the first Friday in March, the semester before you submit your summer AMCAS application, and no later than the first Friday in October, the semester after you submit your AMCAS application.
Tip: Start gathering your materials in February, including asking for references, so your application is complete by early March. Interviews and letter writing will start as soon as your application is complete. However, if you finish your application late in the spring or summer, there may be delays in the interview process.
