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 ready.

If you have a preliminary school list or target cycle, great. If you have specific concerns — an MCAT score you’re debating retaking, a GPA trend that needs explaining, a gap in clinical hours, uncertainty about MD versus DO — bring them. We’d much rather spend the time on what actually matters to you than walk through generic overviews you could get by scanning our website or reading follow-up emails.

Use the time to dig in. Ask real questions. Pressure-test assumptions. Get actual value out of the conversation.

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