The College of Basic Sciences sponsors the LSU Premedical/Predental Review Committee that serves to provide assistance to students applying to medical or dental school. The committee is composed of faculty members from various departments on campus and counselors from the College of Basic Sciences. The committee meets regularly with the Deans of Admission from the LSU Medical and Dental Schools and stays current on recent trends in medical/dental school admissions throughout the nation.
While use of the committee is optional, most medical and dental schools strongly recommend that students use the committee at their university during the application for admission process. The medical/dental schools value the feedback from the committee because they are familiar with the course offerings and curricula requirements of each individual academic program and can provide unbiased insights into the applicant’s personal characteristics and motivation. The committee serves the applicant by processing and forwarding letters of evaluation from faculty to the medical/dental schools to which the applicant is applying and by writing a composite letter summarizing the student’s accomplishments and campus involvement. Use of the committee is open to full-time LSU students or recent graduates, regardless of major.

Meetings about the committee requirements and registration procedures are held each November for students who will be applying for admission the following year. Meeting dates will be posted on the website or maybe obtained from the College of Basic Sciences Dean’s Office.
