Reminder: Mock Exam Priority Registration Deadline Thursday!
As a reminder, registration for the Mock MCAT/DAT event on Thursday, January 16th is open. Priority registration will be open through 11:59pm Thursday, December 19th. Students/alumni may continue to register until capacity is reached or until 11:59pm Friday, January 10th (whichever occurs first).Registrants will be contacted via email on Monday, January 6th with further instructions about the logistics of the event (or later if registration was submitted between January 6th and 10th).
Details and registration information may be found on the original post
here.
For Medical and Dental School Applicants, the UMBC Health Professions Evaluation Committee's (HPEC) Cohort process
- which begins with exercises to help applicants prepare the materials
they need to complete their professional school application, and results
in a Committee Letter from the HPEC to accompany an applicant's other
Letters of Recommendation - is set in motion nearly a year and half before an applicant plans to enter Medical or Dental School.
The next HPEC Cohort, supporting applicants planning to enter Medical or Dental School in Fall 2026, is about to begin!
Information regarding the process of expressing an interest in
joining the Health Professions Evaluation Committee (HPEC) Fall 2026 Cohort has been posted to the PreMedical & PreDental Advising Office
web site. Follow the link below to view the Minimum Requirements for participation and to access the online forms through which you can express your interest.
The HPEC Cohort process serves current UMBC Undergraduate students,
and UMBC Alumni who completed an Undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree at
UMBC within the past five (5) years.
The deadline for expression of interest
from First-Time Applicants to Medical or Dental School who wish to join
the HPEC Fall 2026 Cohort is:
11:59 pm on February 15, 2025
HPEC defines First-Time Applicants as:
•Alumni and Current Undergraduate students as described above who are applying to Medical or Dental school for the FIRST TIME.
•Alumni and Current Undergraduate students who participated in a past HPEC Cohort, but withdrew from the process before a Committee Letter was submitted on their behalf (a.k.a., Previous Non-Completers or PNCs)
•Past Independent Applicants (meaning, applied without
HPEC support) who applied to Medical or Dental school outside of the
HPEC Process one time before, but wish to participate in the HPEC Cohort for their second application attempt.
Re-Applicants - meaning, those who
participated in a previous HPEC Cohort past the point where an HPEC
Committee Letter was submitted to Medical or Dental School on their
behalf, regardless of whether the applicant ultimately completed the
remainder of the application process - have an extended period of time to join the upcoming Cohort.
This later deadline is designed to give applicants who are awaiting
decisions from the current (2024-2025) application cycle additional time
to decide to join the next immediate Cohort once their admission status
at all of the schools where they have applied has become clearer.
Please remember that you can only receive an HPEC Committee letter on
your first and/or second time applying to professional school (maximum
of two times), so make sure that you have addressed (and improved) the
weaker aspects of your applicant profile before making another attempt.
Some re-applicants choose to wait a year (or more) between application
cycles. Potential Re-Applicants should see the website linked below for
more details.
As in the past, additional action beyond the initial expression of interest will be required to officially join the Cohort.
A link to information about next steps is included in
the Interest Form's submission confirmation screen. This link will also
be sent via email to those who have submitted their interest form,
distributed in batches approximately once per week through the interest
submission deadlines.
Registration is now open for the FREE Mock MCAT and DAT event this winter! This event is designed to simulate a real test day environment, which helps you prepare for this exam.
Participants in this event must:
· Be a current UMBC student or alum
· Intend to apply to medical or dental school in the next cycle (2025-2026 cycle)
· Be able to come to campus on the test date (Thursday, January 16th)
· Secure their own full-length practice test
What can you expect from this event? Participants will check in, secure belongings, access and take the exam, use optional breaks throughout the exam as needed, and complete a survey about the event after completing the exam.
Space is limited and registration is required. The priority registration deadline is NEXT Thursday, December 19th. Exam spots will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. Register for the mock MCAT here or the mock DAT here.
Important: Participants MUST secure their own FULL-LENGTH practice test, which they will access via the desktop computers in ENGR 122/122a on the test day. Laptops or other devices will not be permitted. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) offers two free practice exams and four low-cost practice exams. Details here. Information about the full-length DAT practice test may be found on the ADA website at the bottom of this page.
Questions about testing accommodations or other questions about the event may be directed to HealthProAdvising@umbc.edu.
