How should I prepare for the first meeting?

Don’t overthink it. The consultation isn’t an interview, and there’s no right way to show up. If you’ve taken the initiative to book a call, you’re already ready.

If you have a preliminary school list or a target cycle, bring it. If there are specific concerns on your mind — an MCAT score you’re weighing whether to retake, a GPA trend that needs context, a gap in clinical hours, uncertainty about MD versus DO — name them upfront. We’d rather spend the time on what actually matters to you than walk through generic overviews you could get by scanning our website.

Use the time to dig in. Ask real questions. Pressure-test your assumptions. Get something genuinely useful out of the conversation.

And if none of that is ready, come anyway. Some of our most productive consultations start with nothing more than “I’m pre-med and I’m not sure if I’m on the right track.” That’s a completely valid starting point — and one we’re very comfortable working from.
