Credibility

Before you take someone’s advice, you want to make sure they’re credible. Unfortunately, many of the books and review courses out there aren’t even prepared by former pre-meds (I use this term loosely - anyone planning on going to medical school. regardless of major, is considered a pre-med). Your review course instructor is telling you how to take the MCAT, but do you know how well he did? How was the rest of his application? Where did he apply and get in? Most probably, he’s not even in medical school. Similarly, many of the MCAT books are written by PhDs. As important as the MCAT is (and I won’t ignore it in this blog), it’s not the only thing.

Without a doubt, the resources I mentioned aren’t useless - I used many of them for my preparation - but what they don’t tell you about is the pre-med journey. I have been through the whole process, from the MCAT to matriculation, and I am now a second year medical student at Jefferson Medical College. And unlike those other resources, I won’t hide my strengths and weaknesses. With that being said, here is my credibility:

I went through what you will, and at times it seems like there is no clear path ahead. But there is, if you know where to look. Getting into medical school is a feat in itself - there is little room for error. My guides will benefit you so you can use your time wisely to make your application as competitive as can be. Not only are you getting inside information, you will also learn how to apply it - from an MS2. Welcome to Pre-Med Insider.
