Preparing to Apply

Steps for individuals preparing to apply to enter health profession school in the fall of 2026:

 

If you were a 2024 applicant to health profession school and missed the 2025 Portfolio deadline, please email preprof@bu.edu with your name, BU ID, and confirmation that you were a 2024 applicant to receive access to the 2025 Portfolio of Accomplishments and Reflections. 


If you have any questions/concerns after you have reviewed these resources, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with a pre-health advisor via Handshake.

 

Note for alumni who are not yet in our 2026 database:  It is imperative that you request that we change your year of application.  Please email this information to the Preprofessional Advising Office at preprof@bu.edu. By doing so, you will ensure that you receive important email notifications from us. If you prefer to use a personal email address, we recommend you updated your preferences to ensure your BU emails are forwarded to your personal email address as we send email notifications to our applicants’ BU email addresses. 

Portfolio of Accomplishments and Reflections

Enroll in our Pre-Health 101 Blackboard site and complete the 2026 Application Module found in the 2026 Cycle Applicants page to get access to the Portfolio of Accomplishments and Reflections.
