University of Connecticut School of Medicine

The applicant is advised to submit a composite recommendation from the premedical advisory committee at their undergraduate school. For applicants from schools that do not provide a composite advisory committee letter, the applicant must provide a minimum of three letters from individuals familiar with their academic history. For students that have pursued additional academic preparation through post baccalaureate or advanced degree programs, letters are expected from either the advisory committee or from individual faculty advisors. For students that have pursued research or special summer program activities, a letter is normally expected from the program advisor or faculty supervisor. Additional references confirming the applicant’s experiences and containing comments on personality and character traits are often quite helpful in capturing the personal and professional aspects of a candidate’s overall preparation.
