Premedical Advisement at SUNY Geneseo
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- The next Premed Advisement Meeting with Drs. Briggs, Hoops, and O'Donnell will be in Spring 2010.
- Premed Juniors must save W, 5/5/10 (Study Day) for your PreMed Mock Interview with members of the PreMed Committee.
Each August between 10 and 20 Geneseo alumni start medical school. Most graduated only three months earlier but some graduated one to several years earlier. Most are attending New York medical colleges, especially those in Buffalo and Syracuse, but some are in medical schools across the United States, both allopathic and osteopathic. This website is intended to help Geneseo students get into medical school by outlining the procedures and requirements involved.
If you are at Geneseo and interested in pursuing medical school regardless of your major, please be sure to do the following four items:
- You subscribe yourself to the Premed/Preprofessional listserver, an email list that the Premed Committee utilizes to contact students about upcoming events, deadlines, and announcements. This is our only form of contact with some of you, so this is very important!
- Be sure that KnightWeb lists Premed, Dental, Optometry, Prevet, Pharmacy, PT, or Osteopathy as your track/concentration in addition to your major. If it does not, please email Yvonne with your name, your G#, your major, and your track/concentration from those listed. If you wish to have this track/concentration removed or changed at a later date, please contact Yvonne as well stating such.
- Attend PreMed Meetings throughout your undergraduate education here so the PreMed Committee members have a chance to get to know you personally long before you ask to have a committee letter written! Introduce yourself if you haven't already met them.
- Review the information on the PreMed web pages throughout your undergraduate education.
The menu on the side shows where more information is. Much of this is available in a more downloadable form at the following address: http://boxes.geneseo.edu/outboxes/default.htm. After logging on with your name and password, choose 'Biology', then 'briggs', then 'premed.'
If you are a student considering coming to SUNY Geneseo, be sure to look at the information under 'Prospective Students' on your left and on the Biology web page 'Prospective Students.'
