We start with the BASICS! Even though most applicants to medical school are college students, it’s usually been 2 or 3 years since they have actively engaged with the biology, chemistry & physics material encountered on the MCAT. At the Success Prep MCAT prep class “we assume you know nothing”; this way we are able to help our students achieve success by starting from scratch, unlike other prep programs that gloss over the fundamental core concepts.

The Success Prep MCAT Prep class is designed to “assume you know nothing” and provide the fundamentals, which allows us to help you achieve success by starting from scratch. This approach distinguishes us from other prep programs that tend to gloss over essential core concepts.
