I'm Wil Caruso, MD, founder of Pre-Med Community. I studied biochemistry at Kennesaw State University before earning my medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia. I was a first-generation, nontraditional applicant, so I remember what it was like to navigate this path without a family roadmap.

During medical school, I interviewed and scored applicants in the MMI format for medical-school admissions. Later, I participated in an anesthesiology residency admissions committee. Those are different roles, and I think it matters to be clear about what each taught me.

Why I built this

I know what it feels like to look at your application and wonder whether you are already out of the running. I know the late-night search for an answer that somehow leaves you more worried. When you are the first person in your family on this path, even basic decisions can feel higher stakes because there is no one at home who has done it before.

I have also worked inside the premed consulting industry. I saw how difficult it could be for students to tell what they were paying for and who would actually do the work. That experience made the need for clear scope, honest expectations, and useful deliverables feel personal to me.

I built PMC to offer the guidance I wish I had found: serious about the evidence, candid about uncertainty, and willing to help you make the next decision without pretending to control the outcome.

You should leave with a clearer decision, not just more information.
