Pre-Professional Advising at CAS

The College of Arts and Science's Preprofessional Advising Center helps students who are thinking about law, the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, etc.), business, or other professional training, to plan their education with these goals in mind and to decide how, when, and where to apply to professional school. Preprofessional advisors help students explore various professions, suggest related readings, provide statistical information about the probability of admission to selected schools, and assist with the application process. Co-curricular programs are also offered, including panels by professionals, resume writing and interviewing workshops, and internships.

Attend an overview session:

Are you considering a health career? Would you like to talk about your plans with a preprofessional advisor? Join us for a prehealth overview! During these sessions, a member of the preprofessional advising staff will provide an overview of: 
  • Prehealth academic requirements 
  • Ways to develop your preprofessional portfolio and expand your extracurricular involvement 
  • The application process for schools of the health professions 

The session will be followed by a question and answer session so that you can get immediate responses to your prehealth questions. 

A group overview will be your first touchpoint with our office and is a great opportunity to connect with other students in our prehealth community. The sessions will give you a foundation for what it means to be a prehealth student and will inform future individual meetings that you have with a member of our staff. Space at each overview session is limited, so reserve your seat as soon as possible.

Writing the Personal Statement for Law School
Need help with drafting a compelling personal statement for your law school applications? If so, you are strongly encouraged to attend the Writing the Personal Statement for Law School workshop presented by the NYU Preprofessional Advising Center and the NYU Expository Writing Program. This workshop is designed to guide you through the process of writing your personal statement for your law school applications. During the workshop, we will discuss the “Do’s and Don’ts” of writing a law school personal statement, and it will also include a brainstorming exercise to help you generate ideas for potential topics. Additionally, an admissions officer from the NYU School of Law will attend to answer questions and to lend perspective on what law schools are looking for in a personal statement. In order to accommodate the interactive nature of the workshop, attendance will be capped at 30 students.
