Pre-Medical Annual Advising Packages

Premedical Advising: Create a Strategy

With MedEdits’ annual advising package, you will have access to your MedEdits faculty member for an entire year. Receive guidance on all aspects of your premedical experience including what courses to take, what to major in, how to spend your summer, what activities to participate in, and MCAT study/test taking timing.

Designed to offer a comprehensive solution for premedical students more than nine months away from applying to medical school who want continuous and reliable access to a premed advisor, each package includes four formal advising sessions and unlimited messaging with your faculty member via your dedicated collaborative workspace for an entire year.

Premedical annual advising is perfect for:

• High school students
• College students
• Post baccalaureate students
• Special master’s students
• Nontraditional applicants

Remember, MedEdits offers mentoring to help these students gain admission to medical school.

In the beginning, we complement guidance from students’ home schools or current pre-med programs.

Remember, we don’t want students to wait and try to complete application materials in a hurry. 

This can compromise success. By working with MedEdits, students are well prepared to apply when the time comes. 

Work with us to maximize your chances of success.

*Package must be used within one year.

• 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.
• Discuss pre health committee letters.
• 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.
