"Interviewers were commenting on my personal statement. I remember in one interview I had...I was talking about it and I was literally just saying what I had written in my personal statement and the interviewer started tearing up. And so for me, I knew I wrote a very solid statement, so it was worth the investment for sure."
Naomi | UC Irvine
"I was able to write about my extracurriculars in a very cohesive way. Another reason I reached out for consulting services in the first place was I looked at my activities and I was like, none of these go together, and half of these have nothing to do with medicine."
Dylan | UNC
"I remember going through seven or eight drafts (of my personal statement). And every single time I'd bring it back to [the Premed Catalyst team], it'd be like, oh, this is good, but I don't think this is the right story...But I think the final draft I ended up with was perfect for what I needed. I'm happy that [the Premed Catalyst team] kept on pushing me."
Oliver | Boston University
"Everybody was reaching out like all my friends and family. They honestly didn't know what the hell they were talking about and they couldn't wait to review my essays. I got like all over the place. And my parents obviously didn't know anything and they were just being really annoying, so I was like, all right, let's get the expert".
Jalen | UCLA
"Writing has always been a different ball game for me. It's not been my strongest suit. And so that was my biggest fear. But [the Premed Catalyst team] was there with me for all these secondaries and [they] helped a lot. I think what really helped is seeing how [the Premed Catalyst team] were editing. The first two to three essays I figured out how to adapt to that model."
Priya | Georgetown
"I think that [the Premed Catalyst team] was really great. [They] knew what [they] were talking about. Anytime [they] responded to something, [they] were very thorough. Clearly it was good advice. And when [they] gave comments on things, it was really big picture things that really helped me."
Gabriel | Cleveland Clinic
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the planner if I’m already a junior or senior?
Absolutely. Start from where you are. You can backfill what you’ve done and plan forward with more intention.
Do I need to pay for anything later?
No. This bundle is completely free. It’s my way of helping you get organized before you consider one-on-one advising.
Will these templates guarantee I get into med school?
No resource can do that, but they’ll help you build the kind of structure and clarity that competitive applicants have.
Can I edit the templates and sheets?
Yes, they’re all editable. Use them in Google Sheets or Excel and adapt them to your workflow.
Do I need previous premed experience to use this?
Not at all. This bundle is designed for beginners and returning students alike. You can start from zero and still make progress.
What if I already have a mentor or advisor?
Perfect. You can share the bundle with them so you both have the same framework and can focus your conversations on strategy instead of logistics.
Looking for one-on-one help instead?
