What Xavier students interested in medicine, dentistry, etc.* should do
SUMMER BETWEEN FRESHMAN & SOPHOMORE YEAR
(updated 4/16/09)
Things you should already have done during your Freshman Year:
- Completed all of the Freshman Premed Workshops ofered in the Fall and Spring, including the "Electronic Communication Workshop" and the Practice Verbal Section of the MCAT.
- Downloaded a copy of the "High School Info Form" from the Premed website, completed the form, submitted it to the Premed Office, and kept a copy so you can print a copy when needed.
- Downloaded a copy of XU's "Post-Secondary Experiences Form" form, completed it, had it critiqued by personnel in the Premedical Office, and kept a copy so you can update it as you participate in more activities while enrlled at XU. You may download the Sample Post-Secondary Experiences Form to use as a guide (do NOT copy the entries from the sample).
- Prepared a copy of your "Career Essay" (aka "Personal Statement"), had it critiqued by personnel in the Premed Office, and kept a copy on a disk so you can update it as you go through the University.
- (OPTIONAL, BUT BEST DO DO AT LEAST ONE SUMMER YOU ARE AT XAVIER) Attend a summer program which provides exposure to medical fields, academic enrichment, or research.
What to do during the summer:
- Subscribe to Newsweek or Time and start reading FROM COVER TO COVER EVERY WEEK.
- Read at least two books. (This, like reading Newsweek or Time will also help with the Medical College Admissions Test.)
- Check your e-mail frequently.
- Consider applying to the Xavier/Tulane Early Medical Admissions Program. Additional information is available on the Premed website.
Things which you are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to do during the Summer:
- Attend a summer program which provides either exposure to the health professions or research experience.
*MODVOP = Medicine (M.D.), Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.), Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, Optometry, and Podiatry. These are the fields for which Xavier's Premedical Office provides advice and assistance.
