The Campus Application

Application to a health professions school begins approximately 16-18 months prior to matriculation.

The HPAC assists you in the process by interviewing and writing a Committee Letter of Evaluation that includes our assessment as well as verbatim copies of your individual letters of recommendation.

In order to obtain the HPAC letter, you must go through our campus application process. Lafayette’s HPAC application process runs through the spring semester of the year you apply. By the end of our process, you will be ready to submit your official applications to health professions schools (most application services open in early June). Applying close to the opening dates is very important as most schools have rolling admissions.

 

The required HPAC application materials include:

These forms/documents are submitted to Ms. Sue Herschlag (101 Scott Hall or healthprofessions@lafayette.edu) and they may be submitted electronically.

Please note:

    • All LORs must be received by Ms. Herschlag by March 1st.
    • LORs must be submitted on letterhead as hard copies or sent as PDF attachments.
    • LOR must be accompanied by a completed Recommendation Release form with either a hand-written or electronic signature of letter writer.

Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC)

Once your application file is complete, a Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) interview will be scheduled. The HPAC Composite Letter evaluates your personal preparation, and the strength and maturity of your decision to pursue a career in the health professions. We upload the Committee Letter to your designated health professional schools as part of your application.
