Greetings!
The Center of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education (COEDME) in the Stanford School of Medicine will offer a FREE MCAT Academy this summer!
The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a critical component of the medical school admissions process. Low MCAT scores are often a prime factor in the rejection of many applicants to medical school. Some factors that contribute to poor performance in the MCAT are: test anxiety, poor time management, and lack of a "plan", inadequate and inefficient preparation.
The Center of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education (COEDME) MCAT Preparation Academy is designed to minimize these factors and to optimize preparation and performance for the Medical College Admissions Test.
The program is structured to strengthen the student's strategies on how to approach and prepare for the MCAT. It is not intended to be a content review course, yet many of the key subjects will be discussed as part of the curriculum. In addition, a group study schedule and a tailored individualized study plan will be incorporated to meet the needs of the individual student.
The Stanford School of Medicine MCAT Preparation Academy is designed to assist in preparing qualified pre-medical students for the upcoming Medical College Admissions Test. The program is structured to strengthen the student's strategies on how to approach and prepare for the MCAT.

- Must be planning on taking the August-September 2011 MCAT and applying to medical school within one year of the exam.
