Your application journey
The complete path
Click any stage for suggested coursework, academic goals, extracurricular goals, and common traps. Each college year runs from fall through the following spring. Course sequences vary, so confirm prerequisites with your advisor and each medical school.
Worth remembering
Your application should be ready before it is early. Use the time intentionally for academic repair if needed, MCAT preparation or a retake, deeper clinical work or service, and a clearer application story.
Go one level deeper
Choose the practical resource that matches your next step: starting premed, studying MCAT Psych/Soc, building an application strategy, or preparing for interviews.
Free. Practical. Unsubscribe anytime.

The planner is complete on its own. These are sensible next steps if you want more information, structure, or individualized feedback.
Use your GPA, MCAT, and experiences to identify the parts of your application with the most leverage.
