Applying for Medical, Dental, or Veterinary School

All students and alumni interested in applying to medical, dental, or veterinary school should review the HPA handbook for AY24-25. For those applying in the 2025-2026 application cycle, please plan to meet with Soka Health Professions Advising (HPA) as soon as possible for an initial meeting if you have not already done so. Soka HPA will provide a committee letter for students and alumni applying to medical, dental, or veterinary school, who completed a majority of their pre-requisite coursework at SUA. The information applicants provide in the Intent to Apply form allows Soka HPA to compose a meaningful committee letter on the applicant’s behalf. The committee letter will include academic and biographical information; the applicant’s motivation for pursuing their career path; an explanation of their clinical and research experience, community service, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills; a description of other unique attributes, competencies, challenges or adversities that the applicant has overcome; and the applicant’s letters of evaluation.

The submission portals are now closed. Please reach out to HPA at jmills@soka.edu with any questions.
