• Create a timeline of when to take the MCAT.
• Discuss premed courses, if applicable.
• Encourage journaling and writing about experiences.
• Start developing a framework for the personal statement and application entries.

• Provide a thorough explanation of the student’s record from the perspective of the medical school admissions committee.
• Discuss circumstances that may have affected academic and extracurricular performance, and discuss how to address these issues.
• Discuss who should write letters of reference.
• Create a master plan with milestones, periodic reviews and meetings until the application is submitted.
• Complete all admissions documents before June 1st of the application year to ensure early application submission.
