Your student has the grades.
That is not what gets them in.

Every year, students with top scores are rejected from BS/MD programs. So every family is asking two things: will my student actually get in, and is it worth a year and a fortune to find out? Get an honest read on the one thing to do next, free, from a former dean who read these files from the inside.

For your family, this was never only a college decision. It is years of work, the security of your child's future, and the day your whole family knows your child is going to be a doctor.

You deserve a clear, honest read on where they truly stand. Not inflated odds, and not false comfort.

What families actually care about

I analyzed thousands of BS/MD forum threads so your family doesn't have to live there. Underneath all of it, parents ask the same two questions.

Question 1
"Will my strong student actually get in?"
The grades and scores get them into the pool. The story and the fit decide the rest. That is exactly where strong applicants get cut.
Question 2
"Is it worth a year and a fortune?"
A real read on where your student stands, before you commit time, money, and a strategy to a guess. That is the whole job of this page.
The answer

Know where your student actually stands.

Start free. A few questions and you know your next step. When you want the verdict in writing, one read settles both questions.

Dr. Rory Merritt went through Brown's combined medical program as a first-generation student, trained as a physician, and later advised applicants from inside the same program he competed for. He has seen this process as a student, a physician, a dean, and a parent. He knows what separates a strong application from the rest.

My promise is on the work, not the result.

No honest advisor can promise a BS/MD admission, and I never will. If your completed intake shows a Review is not the right fit before I begin, I refund you in full. If you go through the work and feel something was missed, I make it right. Finding out where your student stands should never feel like a risk to your family.
