Applicant Resources

Congratulations on reaching an important milestone in your PreHealth journey!

Use the menu below to navigate the application process for health graduate programs as a Northeastern University applicant. You’ll find timelines and application guides designed to help you understand each step of the process.

We encourage you to also attend/review our Application Workshops. These workshops address many common questions about applying to health professional programs. Additional information can also be found on the following Applicants pages of our website.

If you are planning to apply in 2026 to begin your health professional program in 2027, you are also eligible to attend 2027 Applicant Drop-In appointments.

These are brief, 10-minute advising sessions intended to support technical or logistical questions related to your application.

Please note:

  • Drop-Ins are exclusively for candidates applying in the current application cycle.

  • You may meet with any PreHealth Advisor, regardless of your assigned caseload.

  • Each session is limited to 10 minutes.

If you are looking for individualized guidance on your overall PreHealth Pathway or application readiness, we encourage you to schedule a 30-minute appointment with your assigned PreHealth Advisor.

Applicant Drop-In Appointments for 2027 applicants will open September 15, 2025!
