Chilly weather? Warm up with some application preparation!

Grab your favorite warm drink and spend some time learning about your future (or fast approaching) professional school application.

We can help you discover resources to learn about your national admission test (such as the MCAT, DAT, OAT, LSAT, etc), your online common application, and the credentials you need to be a competitive applicant.

As in past years, representatives from IU School of Medicine will be here monthly for individual advising appointments and the Health Programs Expo will be back in the spring (plan ahead: Monday, February 24, 2025 from 2-5pm). We're excited you're back and look forward to working with you!

  • Need assistance with your pre-professional goals? We're here for you. Make an appointment to see one of our advisors on BoilerConnect. Our appointments are virtual by default since the resources you will need in the future are mostly online.
