Premed (or “pre-medical”) students are undergraduates who are preparing to apply to medical school. Following this path involves course requirements and extracurriculars to qualify for medical school admission. Key corner stones of the premedical journey are completing natural science courses, gaining clinical experience, and taking the MCAT.

Medical school admissions are notoriously competitive. To be accepted you need to collect all your prerequisites and prepare a strong application. Utilize the tips and tricks by our experienced educators in the Medical School Survival Guide on how best to present yourself and what you can do early on to increase your chances!

Aside from formal medical school prerequisites like a bachelor’s degree, a high GPA, a good MCAT score, extracurriculars, and strong letters of recommendation, most schools require applicants to have fulfilled premed course requirements. Those may vary but typically include:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics
• Biochemistry
• Mathematics

Aside from the obvious (completing the requirements and getting your best MCAT score), it is a good idea to train your study skills before starting medical school. Med school is hard, and if you are nervous beforehand, focusing on starting the journey as organized as possible can help!
