Series Details

About

Hello! My name is Sharon V and this series will cover every single thing I wish I knew about being a premed student and applying to US medical schools! I will go through all of my high school and university coursework, study techniques for my premed classes and the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), and clinical and laboratory experiences! I will also be covering some foundational content review for the MCAT as well as an application timeline (from university to the application cycle!) This series will align with the Khan Academy MCAT course which I think provides the best content for new learners! Please note that I am a US applicant planning to apply to US medical schools, unfortunately I am not familiar with the process/requirements for international applicants!

Tutor Qualifications

I am planning to apply to US medical schools! I scored above the 90th percentile on the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test)
