We stand firmly behind our total immersion approach to MCAT test preparation.
Free Repeat Policy
Our MCAT seminars include a free repeat policy which allows students to repeat
the entire course one time, free of charge, within one year of their original course start date. Some
students take advantage of this policy to review and re-attend our test prep course for double the
preparation time at one low price.
In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, we ask free repeat students to contact us in advance
to reserve their place in the upcoming MCAT seminar.
Limited Class Size
In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor
ratio, our MCAT courses have a limited enrollment with spaces allocated
on a first-come-first-served basis. The small class size provides
a comfortable setting with ample opportunity for interaction with
our talented and experienced MCAT course instructors.
