Medical School Application Guidance
Our expert tutors and consulting team is here to help you craft the perfect medical school application. The AMCAS (American Medical College Application Services) is what most medical schools in the United States use as their primary application method. Many of Carnegie Prep’s tutors have served on admissions boards at top medical school programs, and are equipped to provide the guidance and support you need to stand out in a highly competitive field. From essay writing to interview coaching, our medical school application assistance services are personalized to ensure that you are putting your best foot forward.

Your personal statement and secondaries are distinguishing elements of your medical school application. These give you the opportunity to showcase your unique experiences, skills, and passions to admissions boards.

Our tutors will work with you one-on-one to help you identify the most impactful aspects of your life and experiences to include in your application.
