Wilkes University students must apply for and receive a Health Sciences Committee Letter of Evaluation after sophomore year in order to apply to any of the affiliated institutions. Each student who has earned a high grade point average by the end of sophomore year, and who has fulfilled appropriate requirements of the Pre-professional Core and the General Education Requirements, will be endorsed and receive a Letter of Evaluation for the seven-year programs. Students whose academic credentials fall beneath the standards set by the Committee will be advised to complete a third year of study at Wilkes before reapplying for a Letter of Evaluation. Decisions for admission to these health professions schools are made by a Joint Admissions Committee from Wilkes University and the affiliated institution. Students must meet all admission requirements as outlined by the health professions schools with the final admission decision determined by the health professions institution. |
