Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General
The PreMed Path was designed as a service to any student, regardless of their timeline, aspiring to become a physician. Whether you are a high school senior looking ahead to ensure that your transition to undergrad premedical studies is smooth, a freshman in undergrad hoping to plan out your premed path, a junior or senior hoping to optimize your application process, or a nontraditional student who wants to join the road to becoming a physician, ThePreMed Path is there for you. We offer one-on-one video advising to help either give you a one-time boost in the right direction or be there every step of the way from high school to medical school. When it's time for application season, we will also help with your application as well as with your personal statement.
Whether you start planning out your undergraduate studies and extracurriculars independently, with trusted mentors, or with us, the earlier you start the more likely you are to have a successful application cycle when the time comes. If you are a high school senior or older and need the be pointed in the right direction, The PreMed Path is here to best serve you.
ThePreMed Path is an advising service. We will always be there for you in your time of need, whether it is to answer a specific question about setting up your undergrad schedule or whether you just feel lost on your journey and need a course correction from someone who's been there himself. Our advising packages are sold by either single or discounted multiple-hour bundles which you can redeem at any point in a 3 month period through your account. We do ask you do not book within 24 hours so we can properly plan and evaluate all your information and best prepare. On that note, when booking, please attach all relevant information in PDF/Microsoft Word format, and in the "Free Text" section, feel free to type out as much as you want. The more information we have to work with, the better we can optimize our time together. During our time together, we will have a one-on-one video call, where we will help address any questions, get through academic decisions, or just be there during your studies as you need. After the call, please allow 24 hours and we will email you back a brief synopsis of our conversation and some key actionable advice you can begin to implement that very day. We do not aim to just give generic advice, we aim to move you forward to the next step!
At this time, we do not offer refunds on purchases. Unused advising hours and personal statement review sessions do expire 3 months after purchase so plan ahead according to the level of mentorship you expect to require. You can always purchase more later, however keep in mind that multi-hour advising hour bundles are offered at a discounted rate. We appreciate your understanding as we work to build up our business and provide you with ever-increasing value!

Our primary goal is to preserve your voice. In order to meet this goal, we do not offer ghost writing services where we write any of your application materials for you, nor do we condone dishonest representation of you as an applicant of any kind. One of the main pillars upon which medicine rests is trust and we work hard to ensure that is never broken.
The value in The PreMed Path is helping you clarify your story and your identity as a medical school applicant. There is a huge portion of those who apply into medical school with excellent grades, scores, and extracurricular activities, yet they lack a story and so their application unfortunately fails to present all their hard work cohesively.
No. Every medical school applicant has a unique story, and every admissions committee evaluates that story differently. While we will work tirelessly to help you build the strongest application possible, the final admissions decision will always rest with the medical schools themselves. Rather than making promises that no one can honestly keep, our commitment is to provide transparent guidance, personalized strategy, and candid feedback to help you present the strongest, most authentic version of your application.
You should always choose whichever advising service you feel is the best fit for your needs. However, we encourage caution when evaluating services that advertise guaranteed admissions outcomes. Medical school admissions are complex, and no advisor can promise acceptance. Be skeptical of anyone who claims otherwise.
