2020 Committee Application Update


Attention prospective summer 2020 applicants to medical or dental school: Barnard's 2020 Committee application will open in January 2020! We are excited to launch our new application system, and will share specific dates and deadlines beginning the week of January 6, 2020. Because we will be starting the application process slightly later than usual, Parts I and II of the application will be available to all applicants at the same time.

If you are interested in getting a head start on the application, please know that as of today you will find the prompts for the essay questions for Part II of the application, as well as the format for the Preprofessional Preparation section of the application in the Prehealth Advising Resources article in Handshake. (See the attachment titled "Committee Application 2020 Preview.")

Please keep in mind that all applicants for a 2020 Committee letter will be asked to submit their responses to these questions via our new application platform, so if you’re able to complete your responses in advance, hold onto them until you receive the early January opening announcement. You’ll be able to copy and paste your responses into the appropriate sections of the online application. I believe that you all will find our new application system very easy to navigate, and am looking forward to working with you in the coming spring and summer!
