Admissions will be sending a formal letter out in about a month but I wanted postbaccs to know that they can apply for the Postbacc Certificate Program now! If you are a second degree student you will have to fill out an internal application (so we can avoid more admissions fees) but it is not ready yet, and you will have to be ready to complete the program with the 6 lecture/lab requirement. You will also be asked to supply a personal statement, a letter of recommendation from someone (someone from your undergrad if you are applying this year would be most helpful for you) and a passport picture (for the new photo book I am creating and to keep photos on hand for applications to programs). Pre-registration privileges will not be available for the Fall (registration will begin too soon for this) but you will receive priority registration in the Spring 09 semester. Non-degree students will also have the option of joining the Certificate Program but will have to be switched to 2nd degree. If you get inquiries from new students they should know that as of Fall '09 we will only take in a maximum of 90 postbaccs into the certificate program and the deadline for Fall is always November 1st. There is also a service component that all postbaccs in the program will have to fulfill (14 hours a semester) and this can be done in a myriad of ways so do not panic about this yet. I will fill you in as I learn more and plan more for the future but wanted you all to know that we have finally gotten it together! Have a great week-end! We are only the 3rd program in NYC with a State of NY certified postbacc program-the others are NYU and Columbia, so we are in good company! :-) L.Wood-Hill Director, Prehealth Professions Programs Hunter College of CUNY 695 Park Ave, E812 NY, NY 10021 212-772-5244/5242 FAX: 212-772-5138 http://studentservices.hunter.cuny.edu/prehealth.htm Join the premed listserv! http://hunter.listserv.cuny.edu <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you wish to unsubscribe from the PREMEDINFO-L List, please send an E-mail to:"[log in to unmask]".
