Our Mission

PreMedley’s mission is to be the most effective and affordable premed community. We know firsthand that the medical school admissions process can be overwhelming and isolating.

So, we created a platform where hundreds of premeds support each other through every step of the med school application process – from studying for the MCAT, to crafting a strong application, to preparing for interviews, and ultimately getting accepted.
