Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

Explore our FAQs to learn everything you need to know about PreMedley, our resources, and how we can help you crush the MCAT and get into med school.

Why should I choose PreMedley over other med school prep programs or private tutoring?

Simply put, we provide significantly more value for a fraction of the price of other programs. PreMedley offers an avg. of 15-20 hours of live MCAT tutoring and med school application advising – every. single. week. And we’re so much more than just a tutoring service. We bring together hundreds of premeds, med students, and mentors across the U.S. and Canada via our online community, so you can ask questions, get advice, and feel supported 24/7.

Compare that to other MCAT test prep services or private tutors that can easily cost you $5,000+ for just a handful of hours of tutoring.

Have PreMedley students been successful in getting into med school?

Absolutely! Please check out some of the amazing testimonials from PreMedley members featured here, as well as on the @premedleyteam Instagram page within the “Why Us” story highlights.

What’s included with a PreMedley membership?

You’ll be part of our online, live chat community via Discord, where you can connect with other premeds and current medical school students 24/7. Whether you’re struggling with a specific MCAT topic, or just need a little encouragement, we’ve got you.

We offer an avg. of 15-20 hours of live MCAT tutoring and medical school application guidance sessions every week to support you through every step of your journey.

Beyond our live sessions, members also have access to recorded sessions to watch at your own pace, as well as exclusive MCAT study guides and practice questions to help you get an edge.

At what point in my premed journey should I join PreMedley?

Generally, the earlier the better! Many of our members have MCAT dates coming up within the next 1-2 years. Others join us a few months before their MCAT dates to reinforce key concepts and prepare for the med school application process. We also have members who are earlier on in their undergraduate studies who want to get an edge by learning from premeds who are further along in the process. Wherever you are in your premed journey, PreMedley welcomes you!

How should I use PreMedley in my MCAT studying process?

PreMedley provides access to amazing tutors and mentors to supplement your own focused studying and content review. We have tutoring sessions geared toward students at various stages of their MCAT studying journey, and we provide study schedules that you can use and modify to your specific needs.

Why should I join PreMedley instead of just studying on my own?

Good question! Self studying is a huge part of doing well on the MCAT, but having access to tutors that will teach you strategies to conquer even the most challenging passages is invaluable. It’s one thing to learn the content and work through practice problems on your own, but it’s a whole different level to be learning proven strategies from tutors that can help you score higher than you ever thought possible.

Outside of PreMedley, you can easily pay hundreds of dollars per hour for one-on-one sessions with tutors that may have scored well on the MCAT, but may not be effective teachers. With PreMedley, you access to way more tutoring with experts who have excelled on the MCAT, and know how to teach effectively.

What can I expect during a PreMedley tutoring session?

Our tutoring sessions are hosted virtually, where you’ll join a small group of other motivated premeds alongside one of our amazing tutors. Depending on the specific session, our tutors cover everything from high-yield concept review, to breaking down complex passages. Along the way, our tutors will equip you with strategies that help you understand the logic behind questions, avoid traps, and narrow down the right answer choice with speed, precision, and confidence. Our sessions are highly interactive, so don’t be shy– feel free to speak up and ask questions at any time!

While we offer a wide range of sessions geared towards premeds at varying stages of their journey, you do NOT need to join our sessions in any particular order. We offer the flexibility for you to participate in any sessions you’d like, based on the topics that are most helpful for you.

I’m a ‘nontraditional’ premed. Can PreMedley help me?

YES! We have tons of students in our community who are ‘nontraditional’ premeds, including those who have taken multiple gap years, are changing careers, or who are parents. We even have dedicated channels within our chat community where nontraditional premeds can connect, learn, and support each other.

I’m thinking of re-taking the MCAT or re-applying to medical school. Is PreMedley for me?

Of course! We’ve supported countless MCAT re-takers and re-applicants to refine their study strategies, address their content gaps, raise their MCAT scores, and get tips on strengthening their application to help them gain admission to medical school.

Who are your tutors?

PreMedley tutors are dedicated and passionate premeds or current med students who have earned top scores on the MCAT. They use their expertise to make complex topics easier to understand.

We also have exceptional application coaches. These are current med students who have excelled in their own med school application process and offer firsthand expertise on everything from understanding the application timeline, to crafting a stellar personal statement, applying to MD vs. DO programs, preparing for interviews, acing the CASPer and PREview situational judgement tests, and more.
