shorter mcat feedback from students 2020 leah4sci

Graduation Day Premed Support Leah4sci

The internet will have you believe that if you don’t have a perfect GPA and MCAT score, you can’t go to medical school.

Jen and her Late, 505 MCAT with Multiple Acceptances & Presidential Scholarship

Every premed path is different. Every acceptance story is unique. And this one, in particular, goes to show that sometimes we have to eat our words.
