The path, in four stages

Not sure where to start? Here is the arc most pre-meds follow. Use the shelf above to fill in each stage.

1
Years 1 to 2

Build the foundation

Protect your GPA in the intro sciences, start volunteering or a club, and find one physician to shadow.

2
Years 2 to 3

Stack real experience

Log steady clinical hours, join a research lab, and grow into leadership. Depth beats a long list.

3
Year 3 to 4

Conquer the MCAT and apply

Study three to four months, take the MCAT, then submit AMCAS when it opens in late spring.

4
Application year

Secondaries and interviews

Turn secondaries around fast, prep for the MMI, and interview. Then wait, which is the hardest part.
