If you are a sophomore, start reviewing the graduate schools you are interested in attending to see if they have any admissions requirements that are not listed on the Upper Division Certificate for your intended profession. The earlier you are aware of any differences the easier it is to plan for them.

We highly recommend that you begin this sheet as soon as you come to SU. For information regarding competencies that you need to have in mind throughout your academic career, especially for Dental and Medical Schools, please see The Premed Competencies for Entering Medical Students Website.
