The document specifies baseline MCAT and GPA conditions for Medicine and DAT and GPA conditions for Dentistry, while explaining that the committee may consider the applicant’s overall strength beyond these metrics. It defines eligibility for submitting the petition, requires applicants to identify unmet requirements and justification, emphasizes relevant activities, limits length to one to two pages, and instructs applicants not to duplicate the personal statement.","Guidelines for Pre-Health Committee Interview Petition  \nCommittee Interview and Letters are granted to those Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students who meet the following requirements for science grades and admission scores.  \nMedicine: 506 MCAT score with no score lower than 123  \n3.5 Overall and BCPM GPA (Calculated as defined by AMCAS)  \nDentistry: 19/410 Total Science and 19/410 Academic Average DAT  \nscore 3.3 Overall and BCPM GPA (Calculated as defined by  \nADEA)  \nOur committee understands that the totality of an applicant is not determined by these metrics alone and for that reason the Committee will make exceptions in certain circumstances. An individual who falls short of these requirements for a Committee Interview and Letter but has an application that is otherwise compelling may petition for an exception.  \nStudents are required to, at minimum, meet the requirements for an Advisor Interview and Letter to submit this petition.  \nMedicine: 502 MCAT score with no score lower than 123.  \n 3.3 Overall and BCPM GPA (Calculated as defined by AMCAS) Dentistry: 18/390 Total Science and 18/390 Academic Average DAT  \n3.0 Overall and BCPM GPA (Calculated as defined by ADEA) A petition will be reviewed by the Petition Committee and should follow these guidelines:  \n• Address which requirement(s) you do not meet and why you believe, despite this, you still possess a competitive application.  \n• Highlight specific activities and/or experiences that have prepared you for a career in your field of choice.  \n• Minimum of one page but should not exceed two pages.  \n• Do not repeat your personal statement as the committee will have access to that document as well.  \nPetitions must be written by the applicant and must objectively demonstrate that the applicant’s inability to meet the Committee requirements is overbalanced by the strength of the totality of the applicant’s application and circumstances.  \nTypically, the Petition Committee will be looking to see that the application is compelling in ALL aspects with the sole exception of the requirement in question (i.e. score or grade point average) .","cbCaiceipGa7tH4Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiceipGa7tH4Q","pdf",487240,10,1,"English","en",105,"# Petition submission requirements\n## Baseline Medicine and Dentistry criteria\n## Eligibility and exception process\n## What to include in the petition\n## Petition writing standards and length","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to submit a Pre-Health Committee Interview Petition?\",\"answer\":\"Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental students who meet the science grade and admission score requirements for Committee Interview and Letters are covered by the guidelines.
