Definitive List of Schools that Require Dean's Certification

This is kind of an off-shoot of my previous thread (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=823102). So WashU asks for a Dean's Certification letter, but does anyone know of others that ask for it also? Either as part of the application or as part of the acceptance/matriculant package? From my searching this is what I've found:

WashU
Tufts
Indiana
Temple
MCW (Not sure about this one. I found that it asks for the certification if you've checked that you've been subjected to an institutional action, but I figure this might be the norm for most schools)
Boston (Now sure about this one either)

Haven't heard about WashU requiring a Dean's certification this cycle.

That's because this thread is 5 years old

We really need to have an expiration date on threads

Or points for necrobumping. Like drivers licenses.

You say that now, but you need to go look at the Georgetown thread by @Jalby before saying that every thread should have an expiration date.

You could have a voting system for "preserved" status

That thread gets hits every few months though, which should keep it active and in good standing.

It went like 5 or 6 years without being posted on before getting bumped, and didn't really start getting posted on every few months until more recently, I'm pretty sure. Regardless, that thread is living proof that not EVERY thread needs an expiration date.

This one, on the other hand...

dean cert is still a thing-- I know this because I have to go to my undergrad to get the dean cert for Indiana II. Must suck if you live very far away from your undergrad.

We could just pin my post and let all the rest expire after 5 years.

Do they require it pre II or post II?

Post acceptance, for matriculation.

Post acceptance, for matriculation.

Good To know. Thanks.

Post acceptance, for matriculation.

From every school you have attended?

From every school you have attended?

Yes.

"The Dean's Certification Form must be submitted to all colleges and universities attended (those listed on your AMCAS application with the exception of those attended outside of the US or Canada) whether or not a degree was earned. If you attended more than one college or university, provide each institution a copy of this form to complete."

 

[libertyyne]

Yes.

It shows up on the portal post acceptance. It is briefly touched up on here though: http://mdadmissions.msu.edu/applicationprocess/accepted/default.htm

 

[freshdoe]

Fast forward to 2020. Are there any other schools apart from WashU, Tufts,Indiana,Temple, and MCW that past applicants have found request a Dean's Certification either post II or pre-matriculation?

 

[g56ht11jyl]

Seconded, do those schools ^^^^ or others require a dean's letter? At my college we are not allowed to even meet with our dean I am not sure how I could get a LoR from him.....

 

[freshdoe]
