Centralized Application Services
(NAAHP Health Professions Admissions Guide)
There are two ways to apply to health professions schools: through a centralized application service or through direct application to individual schools. The number of schools using a centralized application service is large and growing so that there are now only a handful that require individual applications.
The centralized application services provide standardized information to each of their participating health professions schools from a single form that you complete. The advantage of applying through a centralized service is that initially only one set of application materials and official transcripts need to be submitted, regardless of the number of schools to which you apply. The application services provide detailed admission information to health professions schools, in addition to processing the primary application. All application services require a basic processing fee, plus a sliding scale fee depending on the number of schools to which you request the application be sent. Certain fee reductions or waivers are available to students with financial need.
The lists below identify the services that oversee the centralized application processes of each professional school association. Check with the respective application service regarding which one to utilize for your intended course of study.
