1. Official college transcripts.
2. MCAT or other test scores.
3. At least 3 letters of recommendation (the more good letters the better).
4. Forms: (Note: these forms require the latest version of Acrobat Reader, which is available as a free download.)
   • Form A (29kB PDF)
   • Form B (26kB PDF)
   • Form C (19kB PDF)
   • Form D (10kB PDF)
   • Form E (14kB PDF)

Once your file is complete, let the committee know that you would like a letter of recommendation, when it is due, and the addresses of the schools that it should be sent to. Be sure to give the committee at least 3 weeks before any deadlines to complete this letter.
