<p>Very helpful. The healthcareers adviser is top notch and very knowledgeable about med school admissions. I’ve found her advice to be spot on 100% of the time. Back when I applied (4 years ago), she would hold seminars on how to fill out the application, what to do if waitlisted, interview tips, etc. I never had any difficulty even getting walk on individual appointments with her.</p>
<p>Having a premed committee is a huge advantage because their job is to make you look good. Cornell does not prevent everyone from applying. So, how can Cornell write committee recommendation letters for everyone and still have it be worth a damn? By tailoring each letter to each individual applicant’s strengths. This prevents the letters from becoming generic and useless while still having each letter retain a positive tone. </p>
<p>Medical schools each have their own recommendation letter requirements but if you have a premed committee that writes a committee letter, almost all med schools will accept that letter in lieu of any other requirements they may have. This is tremondously helpful so that you don’t have to assemble 6 LOR’s just to satisfy the requirements of 20 different med schools.</p>
