If you are interested in applying to medical or another health related
school for 2007 entry and would like to request an advisor and open a
credential file for your letters of recommendation, please follow the
following steps.<br>
<br>
1. Read the information provided about the credential service:<br>

<br>
</u></font>4. Once you have become familiar with the credential
service and advising system, fill out the Credential Service form to
open a file and request an advisor, and submit it to the front desk at
the MIT Careers Office (12-170):<br>
http://web.mit.edu/career/www/preprof/credentialform05.pdf<br>
<br>
5. You will be expected to then make an appointment to meet with a
member of the Preprofessional Advising staff to discuss your plans for
2007 entry to medical or another health related school.<b> Your
request for an advisor will not be processed until you have completed
this appointment with a member of our staff to review your
form.</b><br>
<br>
To schedule an appointment, stop by our office (12-170) or call (617)
253-4733. Remember to submit your Credential Service form to our
office before your scheduled appointment.<br>
<br>
Once you have submitted the form your file will be open. Advisor
requests will be processed throughout the summer and assignments will
be<br>
announced at the Advisor-Advisee Mixer in late September. (The Mixer
date will be announced in late summer.)<br>
<br>
<b>It is important that you request an advisor during spring or early
summer 2005.<br>
</b>Requests for advisors made in Fall 2005 risk being wait listed
until the Preprofessional Advising staff are able to recruit more
advisors. The Preprofessional Advising Staff recruits Advisors based
on the number of students we expect are seeking advisors.<br>
<br>
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have questions or
concerns. We look forward to seeing you this spring!<br>
Best wishes,<br>
