Health Professions Applicant Preparation

2026 – 2027 Application Cycle

View this slide deck document about applicant preparation for Health Professions Programs. 

The Health Professions Evaluation Profile is a comprehensive profile document, similar to the application you’ll complete, to reflect on your candidacy preparation for medical, dental, veterinary, or other health professions programs. This document is only shared with the OCS health profession advisors.

Populations eligible to participate in this process include undergraduates and alumni of Yale College, students in the Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and Yale Postdoctoral Associates.

After completing the form, you will schedule an advising appointment with a HPAP advisor to discuss your upcoming application.  These appointments will take place between mid-January to late-April.

If there are areas of concern with your application (poor semester, disciplinary history, etc.), be open and honest with the advisor so a candid discussion can occur about how best to present your credentials and advocate for yourself during the application process.

Submitting Materials

You can submit materials through the Applicant Preparation Profile Form.
