OPSA Medical/Dental Portal

The Medical/Dental Portal is a free service that Professional School Advising offers to current and former students whereby letters of evaluation are collected for students applying to medical or dental school.

This service provides students with the assurance that proper materials are being submitted to the schools they have selected. Additionally, you will be able to have professors submit their letters before the end of the spring semester, a time when many professors leave for the summer.

OPSA PORTAL WORKSHOP INFORMATION

OPSA Portal Workshops were held from October through February, including on non-class days.

If you did not attend a workshop, or you are a Former Student or a Reapplicant, you may request access to the Portal by submitting a Request to Be Added form.

Please work on your Portal Questionnaire diligently and thoroughly.

Reference Letters

If your letter writer is not going to meet the deadline, THE LETTER WRITER will need to email our office at opsa-portal@tamu.edu as soon as possible request an extension. The student cannot make this request for them; only the letter writer may request an extension.

Sample Letter - we have provided a sample letter that offers helpful formatting and content tips, but in no way supercedes the letter writer's judgment or preferences. Letters should be dated, signed, and on official letterhead.

If you have trouble logging in or have any questions regarding the portal, please email opsa-portal@tamu.edu.

Use this handout for information on how to send letters to TMDSAS, AACOMAS/AADSAS or to AMCAS.
