Role

Preprofessional Advising strives to:

• Help Columbia College and Columbia Engineering students and alumni identify and refine their interests in professional school (law, medicine and health professions such as dentistry, veterinary medicine, and public health); and
• Provide guidance and support throughout the professional school application process.

Preprofessional Advising also oversees the Premedical Committee Evaluation and the Law School Dean’s Certification process.

Prehealth and Prelaw Listservs

Preprofessional Advising has migrated the prehealth and prelaw listservs to the Mailman service. This new platform will enable you to easily subscribe and unsubscribe through a webform.  It will also provide an archive feature, enabling you to access past messages as we move forward.  This is a great new feature. 

To subscribe, unsubscribe or access message archives* go to the listinfo page for prehealth or prelaw.

From this site you can subscribe, unsubscribe, and set a password to access archived messages* and set other various options.

You can also send subscribe requests via email:

• To the subscribe/request address, at listname-join@lists.columbia.edu, with Subscribe in the message body.

Once your request is received, you will be asked to confirm it. This is a security measure to ensure that the request was a real one, sent from the email address that wishes to subscribe. The confirmation message will contain instructions for confirming and subscribing, either by sending an email to the address provided with a text string to be copied and pasted into your message, or clicking on a link within the message. The link sends you to a page where you will be able to enter your name and set a member password. Do NOT use your UNI password as your list password. The combination of your email address and your password will allow you to set certain options for yourself, as well as enter the list archive, if any.

*archived messages sent before September 27, 2011 may be viewed at the Prehealth blog or the Prelaw blog. You may search by topic.
