Pre-chiropractic students should maintain a comprehensive log of their healthcare experiences and volunteering opportunities throughout their undergraduate studies. This documentation will be invaluable when applying to chiropractic school, as it showcases commitment to the field, hands-on experience, and dedication to serving others.
Most chiropractic schools do not require an entrance exam for acceptance into their program, including both of the chiropractic schools in Texas. However, students are advised to verify application requirements for the program of interest prior to the start of the application process.
Applications for chiropractic school are usually submitted in the summer between junior and senior year, around June. Although there is a Centralized Application Service (ChiroCAS), most chiropractic schools encourage students to apply through their direct application process on their website.
