Pre-Med Consulting

Start Now, Get in on Your Timeline, and Maximize Your Options

We help freshmen and sophomores gain admission to their target medical schools. Our mentorship program will help you develop a narrative that stands out to admissions committees.

Who Mentorship is Best For

Our program has worked with students at over 30 undergraduate institutions, including the UCs, Ivy League schools, and other top-ranked universities across the country.

Freshmen

You are a freshman aiming for a top medical school or a no-gap-year timeline. Starting now means you can build a standout narrative in the least amount of time.

Sophomores

You are a sophomore who is starting to see the competition get ahead of you. You feel like you may not be living up to your full potential and that you need to do things differently.

Switching into Premed

You are a junior, senior, or post-bacc student who is switching into premed. You are committed to medicine, but feel overwhelmed navigating this complex space.

Avoid Falling Short of Your Potential

Our mentorship program helps driven premeds build a clear, intentional story long before they apply. Avoid a cookie-cutter application that gets rejected.

Choosing Opportunities Without a Narrative

Many smart, hard-working premeds say yes to opportunities without understanding how they fit together. On their own, these experiences may be impressive. Without a clear throughline, they fail to show purpose, growth, or a genuine commitment to medicine.

Spending Time on Low-Impact Work

Not all experiences move an application forward. Too many students invest years in roles that offer little growth or responsibility. We help students focus their time on opportunities that challenge them, develop their skills, and meaningfully strengthen their application.

Not Building Relationships That Lead to Advocacy

Strong applications are backed by people who truly know you. Without intentional mentorship, students often graduate without letter of recommendation advocates who can speak confidently about their readiness for medical school. We guide students in building real relationships with mentors, clinicians, and professors who are willing to stand behind them.
Our process

Know exactly what competitive looks like for you

We’ll help you get there.

Get insights from a former admissions committee member

A former AdCom keeps your strategy on track, continually reassessing competitiveness and answering questions so you stop guessing and know your application is built to compete.

Build a Complete, cohesive narrative through weekly coaching

We help you find and choose the right research, clinical experiences, community service, and leadership so every experience connects into a story that stands out and actually reflects who you are and what you care about.

Work with a medical student at a top medical school

You’re paired with an advisor based on your personality and interests, so you work with someone who understands the pressure, the process, and what it really takes to succeed as a premed.

Lifetime Advising Guarantee included.

Every Mentorship Program includes Application Cycle Advising. We keep refining your application and strategy until you earn an acceptance.

When the Work Pays Off

Real words from real students who showed up, did the work, and transformed their applications from uncertain to undeniable.
"Interviewers were commenting on my personal statement. I remember in one interview I had...I was talking about it and I was literally just saying what I had written in my personal statement and the interviewer started tearing up. And so for me, I knew I wrote a very solid statement, so it was worth the investment for sure."

"Everybody was reaching out like all my friends and family. They honestly didn't know what the hell they were talking about and they couldn't wait to review my essays. I got like all over the place. And my parents obviously didn't know anything and they were just being really annoying, so I was like, all right, let's get the expert."

"I was able to write about my extracurriculars in a very cohesive way. Another reason I reached out for consulting services in the first place was I looked at my activities and I was like, none of these go together, and half of these have nothing to do with medicine."

"Writing has always been a different ball game for me. It's not been my strongest suit. And so that was my biggest fear. But [the Premed Catalyst team] was there with me for all these secondaries and [they] helped a lot. I think what really helped is seeing how [the Premed Catalyst team] were editing. The first two to three essays I figured out how to adapt to that model."

"I remember going through seven or eight drafts (of my personal statement). And every single time I'd bring it back to [the Premed Catalyst team], it'd be like, oh, this is good, but I don't think this is the right story...But I think the final draft I ended up with was perfect for what I needed. I'm happy that [the Premed Catalyst team] kept on pushing me."

"I think that [the Premed Catalyst team] was really great. [They] knew what [they] were talking about. Anytime [they] responded to something, [they] were very thorough. Clearly it was good advice. And when [they] gave comments on things, it was really big picture things that really helped me."

A compelling story and a well built strategy make schools see you as someone they want to admit. That often includes financial support.

1M+

Scholarships Earned

Our students secure significant funding because their applications communicate value, purpose, and fit in a way that stands out to committees.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Do I really need Medical School Admissions Consulting?
Students join our program for three main reasons:
‍
• To reduce or avoid extra gap years and the costs that come with reapplying.
‍
• To earn real options for medical school, not just one acceptance.
‍
• To become competitive for in-state and top tier medical schools, not “anywhere that takes me.”

If you want your writing to hit, your application to stand out, and your cycle to be less chaotic, this type of support is worth it.
Who is this program for?
This program is built for students who want real options when they apply to medical school. Most of our students are aiming to become competitive for in-state schools or top tier programs so they can keep doors open to strong residencies, competitive specialties, and long-term career opportunities.

You are likely a strong fit if:

• You plan to apply this cycle or next and already have (or are close to having) your core experiences such as clinical exposure, volunteering, and research.
‍
• You care where you end up, not just whether you get in somewhere.
‍
• You want to reduce or eliminate gap years. Every extra year can delay a physician-level salary by $200,000 to $400,000.
‍
• You are willing to do the work, reflect honestly, write, revise, and build a narrative that feels true to you.

This program is not a fit if you are looking for shortcuts or magic. If academics are weak, clinical experience is minimal, and there is no willingness to reflect or revise, we are not the right partner.
How does the mentorship program work? Would we meet weekly? Monthly?
Here's a sample video explaining a rough timeline so you can get a sense of the pace with which we support mentees. Overall, our program has modules that are week to week mentorship sessions until we hit an outcome (e.g. getting a Letter of Recommendation). If we don’t hop into another module right away, we will switch the pace to quarterly until it’s time to add more to your application.
Who are your mentors and how do you match them with students?
Our mentors are current medical students at top programs who have successfully navigated this process and have experience mentoring others. We received roughly one hundred applications for each mentor hiring round and only selected about the top 5 percent based on mentorship ability, writing, and alignment with our values.

We match you based on personality, communication style, interests, and sometimes geography or school type.
Who will I be working with day to day?
You will work primarily with one of our mentors, all of whom are current MD students who have successfully navigated admissions and have demonstrated mentorship skill. Additionally, our program coordinators and co-founders track your progress, review major decisions, and step in whenever needed. You will also have access to a group chat for quick questions, check-ins, and support so you are never left guessing about your next step.
Do you guarantee admission?
No legitimate program can guarantee admission to a specific medical school. What we do provide is a structured, proven process, expert mentorship, and the First Cycle Guarantee. If you apply on time, stay engaged, and do not get in, we work with you again next cycle at no additional program cost. In practice, our on-time applicants have not needed to use the guarantee, though it is important to us that you feel secure in your med school journey.
How do I get started?
Begin with a free strategy session. We will take a close look at your academics, experiences, and timeline, then give you a clear picture of where you stand and what you would need to become competitive. If the program is a good fit, we outline your plan, timeline, and next steps so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.

If you want this cycle to be your strongest and most strategic yet, schedule your strategy session and we will begin mapping out your path to medical school.
