great understanding of the application process and how

to become a competitive applicant. “

MedPrep I and II participant

“Being a nontraditional applicant, I

had a lot of questions that simply

couldn't be answered by reading a

book. The small group and one-on-

one interactions with faculty, staff,

and students of the medical school

gave me the information I needed

to determine that applying to medical

school was the right decision for me.”

MedPrep I and II participant

for medical school.” MedPrep I participant “MedPrep was very informative on the actual values the

student should have in order to become a physician that

will provide optimal patient-centered care.” MedPrep I and II participant
