Question 3

What should you expect?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 6

Do you work with high school students who are interested in pursuing medicine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We highly recommend starting to plan out your premedical journey ahead of time. If you are a high school senior or older and are planning on pursuing medicine, we would love to work with you!

Question 7

Are essay review services allowed during the medical school application cycle?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Do you guarantee admission into medical school?

Accepted Answer

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.
