<p>So my daughter who has applied to VBS is rethinking her decision and is now considering affiliated health fields. She saw on the Nova web site that there is a special program in conjunction with Penn, that you have to apply for by Nov. 15th. The application process includes an interview and other criteria that must be met.</p>
<p>My question is this. For those who miss that deadline for whatever reason or choose to major in biology in the school of liberal arts, is there adequate advising and support for pre-med and other affiliated health students? Or is all the concentration on the students who applied to the special affiliated health track?</p>
<p>This is your contact for all students for health field advising , whether or not you are in any of the affiliated programs. You do not have to be a bio major to apply to health related grad schools. </p>
