Obtaining a Committee Letter
Congratulations on getting to this point of your journey! The committee letter is authored by a pre-health committee or pre-health advisor and provides an overall summary of you as an applicant, describing your academic preparedness, your scholarly activities, community service, leadership skills and clinical exposures. The letter will also include additional letters written in support of your application. This is sometimes called a composite letter.
We recommend you go through the process of obtaining a committee letter if you plan to apply to medical school, dental school or any school that requires the letter. This will ensure you have a comprehensive letter that speaks to your competitiveness and unique experience at our institution.
Please contact healthcareers@spelman.edu if you have any questions.
