TMDSAS Evaluation Form

For Individual Letters of Evaluation

The TMDSAS Evaluation Form is to be used by applicants who are submitting individual letters of evaluation only. If you are submitting a Health Professions Committee Packet, you do not need to use the TMDSAS Evaluation Form - unless your undergraduate school instructs you to.

Do not have any letters of evaluation delivered to TMDSAS until after you have completed the [Letters of Evaluation] section of your application.

1. Complete the [Letters of Evaluation] section of the application.
2. Download the TMDSAS Evaluation Form.
3. Complete the top portion of the PDF and print it out OR print it out and complete it by hand.
4. Deliver the completed TMDSAS Evaluation Form to each evaluator.
5. Your evaluator should fill out the remainder of the TMDSAS Evaluation Form, sign it, attach a written letter of evaluation and mail it to TMDSAS. The letter must be on official letterhead and signed.

The TMDSAS Evaluation Form is strongly recommended by the medical schools.  TMDSAS will accept letters of evaluation that arrive without the Evaluation Form.  However, we will NOT accept an Evaluation Form that is received without an accompanying letter of evaluation.

TMDSAS Transcript Request Form

The TMDSAS Transcript Request Form allows you to create and print request forms to send to registrars at schools you have attended. 

While TMDSAS will accept transcripts that are not attached to TMDSAS Transcript Request Forms, TMDSAS is not responsible for transcripts that cannot be matched to your application due to the absence of a TMDSAS Transcript Request From.  You are strongly encouraged to utilize these forms.  Be sure to inform the registrars that this form should be attached to the transcript when it is sent to TMDSAS.

We also strongly recommend that you request personal copies of your transcripts for your use in completing the [College Coursework] section of your application.

1. Complete the [Colleges Attended] section of the application.
2. Download the TMDSAS Transcript Request Form.
3. Fill out the PDF and print it out OR print it and fill it out by hand.
4. Deliver completed form to registrar at each college attended.
5. Inform the registrar that the form must accompany the transcript when delivered to TMDSAS.

Is a Transcript Required?

One official transcript is required from every US, US Territorial, or Canadian college attended. This includes:

• College-level courses taken while in high school, even if they did not count toward a degree at any college.
• Colleges at which you took a course, even if transfer credit was later accepted by another school.

Foreign coursework must be evaluated for US equivalence by an evaluation service and an official copy must be sent from the service directly to TMDSAS.  A list of evaluation services can be found here.

Helpful Reminders

• Spring 2010 grades (or Winter 2010 for those on a quarter system) MUST be recorded on your transcript before delivered to TMDSAS. 
• Transcripts for future coursework are not required until the course has been completed and a grade has been recorded.
• You must send updated transcripts to TMDSAS at the end of each term that coursework is completed between the time of application and expected date of matriculation.
• You can mail the transcript yourself as long as it remains in a sealed envelope from the registrar.
