btw: Holy Cross appears to conduct a hard screen… reading between the lines: don’t waste your time applying without our letter. But HC is even more strict: upon acceptance as a Frosh, they’ll tell you if you are on (Health Committee) Program track or not. If not, one has to “apply” to get in Program track at the end of Sophomore; success is rare, however, according to students who have visited. No wonder HC claims an 82% success rate [with Committee letter.

“Students who wish to apply to medical and allied health professions schools do not have to be evaluated by the committee, but it is very unusual to apply without the committee’s recommendation. It often sends a “red flag” to medical schools, as almost all Holy Cross medical school applicants apply through the committee. If you decide to apply without the committee’s support, the health professions office will forward your recommendation letters to medical schools for you.”
