    FutureMD Pathway: Premier College Admissions Support for Aspiring Physicians

    Direct medical programs (BS/MD, BA/MD, BS/DO, etc.) are extremely competitive, boasting acceptance rates of around 3-10% at some of the most prestigious undergraduate programs. MedSchoolCoach offers premium, end-to-end advising for families committed to helping their student secure a spot in one of these elite programs or Ivy League universities as a pre-med. 96% of our students get accepted after interview prep.

    Why Strategic College Advising

    Changes Everything

    The Direct Medical Advantage
    Not All Pre-Med Programs Are Equal
    Hyper-Selective Programs Demand More

    Securing admission into a BS/MD or BA/MD program unlocks a direct path to medical school that saves families time, money, and stress. Here’s why this advantage matters:

    For applicants looking at traditional colleges, being a pre-med student isn’t equal at all institutions. Finding the right university to thrive in as a student is absolutely critical to your eventual success as a medical school applicant. MedSchoolCoach helps identify and get into the best traditional college program for you.

    Elite colleges, BS/MD and BA/MD programs admit only a tiny fraction of applicants. To stand out, students need more than strong grades; they need an exceptional application that proves their readiness for medicine.

    • The Direct Medical Advantage

      Securing admission into a BS/MD or BA/MD program unlocks a direct path to medical school that saves families time, money, and stress. Here’s why this advantage matters:

      grey rectangle

      Streamlined Path to Medicine

      Direct medical programs can offer a more structured route, helping students bypass some of the uncertainty of traditional admissions. While many still require milestones like the MCAT and interviews, securing a BS/MD seat reduces the need to reapply through multiple competitive cycles. Our advisors help families determine whether a BS/MD program or a traditional pre-med track is the best fit for each student’s goals.

      Significant Cost & Time Savings

      Families save thousands in future application costs, prep courses, and gap years. Students can also progress toward their medical degree faster, with many programs shortening the timeline to becoming a physician and earning a living at their dream job.

      Early Confidence & Security

      High school seniors who secure a BS/MD seat gain unmatched peace of mind. With their medical school future locked in, they can focus on thriving academically and personally during their undergraduate years.

    • Not All Pre-Med Programs Are Equal

      For applicants looking at traditional colleges, being a pre-med student isn’t equal at all institutions. Finding the right university to thrive in as a student is absolutely critical to your eventual success as a medical school applicant. MedSchoolCoach helps identify and get into the best traditional college program for you.

      grey rectangle

      Pre-Meds Only

      We only focus on students who want to become physicians. If you want to succeed in a traditional pre-med undergraduate program, MedSchoolCoach can help you get there.

      Build a Strong Application

      When it’s time to assemble the application that will introduce you to admissions committees, our team is there at every step. Whether you’re writing the “Why MD” essay, completing the Common App, Coalition, UC App, Apply Texas, or individual supplemental applications, we help you refine each component so that it truly captures who you are. 

      Reduced Stress, Stronger Results

      Applying to elite college programs is intense. Without guidance, the pressure can overwhelm both students and parents. At MedSchoolCoach, we not only help students plan proactively through strengthening essays, interviews, and applications, but we also provide families with the structure and reassurance they need. 
      By keeping the process organized, transparent, and stress-free, we help families stay informed and calm while students submit their standout applications with confidence.

      Elite colleges, BS/MD and BA/MD programs admit only a tiny fraction of applicants. To stand out, students need more than strong grades; they need an exceptional application that proves their readiness for medicine.

      Beyond the Transcript

      Top programs expect perfect or near-perfect GPAs and test scores as the baseline. What truly matters is how a student demonstrates intellectual curiosity, leadership, and commitment to medicine beyond the classroom.

      Exceptional Extracurricular Depth

      Admissions committees look for meaningful experiences such as research projects, clinical exposure, and shadowing, all of which show maturity and clarity of purpose. Students must go beyond “check-the-box” activities to present a compelling story.

      A Compelling Personal Narrative

      Every applicant has strong academics. What sets admitted students apart is their ability to articulate why medicine, why now, and why them. Crafting a cohesive, authentic narrative is critical for success in hyper-selective direct medical admissions.

    Student Success Stories

    • grey rectangle
      “Dr. Lee is extremely nice and down to earth. She guided my son very patiently for almost 2 years and helped him get into BS/MD program. My son has a full ride for undergrad. This entire process was daunting. But Dr. Lee and Rob Rivas helped us through the extremely stressful application and interview process. We couldn't have done this without their help and guidance. We feel blessed to have found Dr. Lee and MedSchoolCoach. Thanks for everything!" 
      Dr. Lee is Amazing
    • grey rectangle
      “I honestly cannot speak highly enough about the experience of working with Michelle, Susan, Darlene, and Ken. Every one of them is extremely knowledgeable, warm, supportive, and excellent at their jobs. Without their guidance and support, I do not know if I would be sitting here writing a review about both of my children achieving their lifelong dreams of going to medical school. I know what a daunting process applying to medical school is, and having a team behind you like MedSchoolCoach can really make the difference between receiving acceptance letters versus denials. If you have a child applying to medical school, I cannot recommend a better service.”
      MedSchoolCoach from a Parent’s Perspective

      “Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas helped me tremendously throughout the college admissions process. From brainstorming my personal statement to refining my supplementals, both Dr. Lee and Rob consistently provided thorough feedback in a short amount of time, ensuring my responses articulated my ideas in the best manner possible. Additionally, Dr. Lee was invaluable in prepping for my BS/MD interviews, giving great feedback on how to optimize my responses while also providing practice through several mock interviews. Overall, I would highly recommend both Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas as advisors, especially if you are applying to college and are interested in BS/MD programs.”

      “I had Dr. Dallara-Marsh and Laura as my advisors for my BSMD application cycle, and I learned so much about the process from them. Both were very knowledgeable, and I will actually be attending a program that I was recommended to apply for by my advisor.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Baccalaureate-MD programs have competitive acceptance rates, taking only 1-10% of students who apply. BS/MD programs are often more selective than an ivy league medical education, even with superb test scores and a high GPA. That’s why it’s so important to work with experienced admissions experts who specialize in helping students studying healthcare professions. Combine targeted advising at MedSchoolCoach with your fantastic GPA and SAT or ACT score, and your chances at being accepted will skyrocket.

    Most high school students should apply to 10 or more direct medical programs in addition to 5 or more undergrad programs. This will increase your chances at one or more acceptances.

    MedSchoolCoach has a team of advisors who are physicians and graduates of direct medical programs (BA/MD or BS/MD), many of whom have admissions committee experience. Our college advisors have served as admissions directors at some of the top schools in the country.

    We recognize the complexity of the direct medical program application process, and want our students to have the best resources possible to succeed. With direct medical programs (BA/MD, BS/MD, or BS/DO), applications are evaluated by two admissions committees. First, they are reviewed by the undergraduate admissions committees. If the student gains entry to the undergraduate institution, their application will be forwarded to the medical school’s BA/MD, BS/MD, or BS/DO admissions committees. While our physician advisors have experience on medical schools’ BA/MD, BS/MD, or BS/DO admissions committees, they do not have experience on undergraduate admissions committees. Therefore, students are also assigned an college advisor to help guide them through the undergraduate admissions process.

    We specialize in helping students who want to become physicians, and we are specialists in any direct medical program. Whether you are looking to apply to a BS/MD, BA/MD or combined DO program, you will not find a better fit than MedSchoolCoach.

    Your child’s odds at admission will be best with extracurricular activities that combine their own passions and interests with scientifically relevant experiences. Their advisors will help you determine the right fit for your child.

    They can communicate with you via phone, email, and video conference. We also have a comprehensive application management software platform, allowing for timeline management using a goal-oriented system to ensure everyone is on the same page. Parents/guardians also have their own login credentials to our comprehensive application management software platform, ensuring that they can track their child’s progress and communications with their college and physician advisors.

    We believe in providing comprehensive assistance to our students. We spend the time needed to make sure your application is great.

    We have a 30-day refund policy, which allows you to meet with both your college and physician advisor to ensure that you’re satisfied with choosing MedSchoolCoach.
