Am I Ready to Apply?

An Interactive Readiness Self-Assessment for Future Applicants to Medical, Dental, or PA Programs

Thinking about applying to health professional school this cycle? Not sure if you're truly ready or just hoping you are?

This 90-minute, hands-on workshop is designed to help you evaluate where you stand in your preparation for programs like MD, DO, PA, and dental school. Through guided self-assessments, reflection activities, and peer discussion, you'll take a realistic look at your academics, clinical experiences, competencies, and more, all in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

In this session, you’ll:

• Map out your experiences (clinical, service, research, leadership, etc.)

• Evaluate how your preparation aligns with key competencies admissions committees look for

• Check your academic readiness, including GPA and prerequisite progress

• Reflect on your overall application strength and whether it’s time to apply or time to plan

Whether you're feeling confident or still unsure, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of your readiness, specific next steps to take, and tools to help you move forward with purpose.

This workshop is ideal for students planning to apply to medical, dental, or PA programs in the upcoming cycle or those who want to better understand what “ready to apply” really means.

We strongly suggest attending this workshop prior to attending a PATH Orientation for the upcoming cycle.
