Re-Applicant Committee Registration 

Re-applicants, or students who have already submitted an application to a professional school database (regardless of how far you went in the process), will follow a separate PHPAC cycle than new applicants. New applicants apply in fall and complete a 6 month process while the re-applicants will solely register for a committee letter packet in late spring 2024 for a 2025 matriculation. Re-applicants can apply in fall or spring and will not have to adhere to our PHPAC deliverable deadlines, but they will need to provide letters of recommendation to our committee by a specific deadline.
