Applicants to the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education program at The City College of New York should be aware of a few important steps.
1-Sophie applicants must complete a general CUNY or Macaulay Honors College application, AND a separate Sophie Davis application:

2-The program’s admissions office also requires applicants to create a VIP profile, as this is how they most readily communicate with prospective students. Create a VIP profile at:
https://cunymed.askadmissions.net/vip/Default.aspx
3-The program requires five (5) letters of recommendation. One must come from a science teacher, one from a guidance counselor, and one from someone outside of Stuyvesant. Please note that your teachers will not automatically submit their letters to Sophie Davis. If you would like a teacher (s) to send their rec to Sophie Davis, email them directly and ask them to please do so.
They should email their letter to: sdcsom@med.cuny.edu.
SEND YOUR EMAIL REQUEST FOR ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 17.
All recommendations must be submitted on or before December 30. There is no grace period. Recs submitted late will not be considered.
4-Lastly, make sure to manually add the Sophie Davis program in your "colleges I'm applying to" list in Naviance by December 17 if you haven't already. The College Office will then email your transcript and counselor letter before from the holiday break.
To manually add colleges to your Naviance “colleges I’m applying to” list:
-go to “colleges I’m applying to” in your Naviance account
- click on the big red circle with a + icon on the right side of the screen and follow the on -screen prompts:
-identify the college in "which college are you applying to" by scrolling down or typing the name and selecting
-select the app type (in this case Regular Decision)
-select "Add Application"
Let your assigned college counselor know if you need assistance!
