Advising

See us for an advising session

HPPLC advisors are available to meet with IU Bloomington students and alumni pursuing careers in law, medicine, and other health professions. Come in to talk about your individual application strategy, learn how to succeed on professional school admissions tests, or get help with your personal statement. If you are applying to health profession school, work on your interview skills with a mock interview with a HPPLC advisor. We look forward to working with you throughout your time here at Indiana University!
