Medical School Application Preparation

The Scott Scholars Program provides comprehensive support to students applying to medical school. Students participate in a fully funded MCAT preparation course, which has consistently resulted in significant score increases from their baseline tests. Students participate in mock medical school interviews to sharpen communication skills and acquaint scholars with the interview process. Additionally, Scott Scholar staff help students refine their personal statements and resumes, enabling them to effectively showcase their academic achievements, research, and leadership experiences. This holistic approach cultivates confidence and readiness among students, significantly boosting their competitiveness in pursuing careers in medicine.
