First,disgustedwith never-ending cost increases for premeds, I’m announcing today our new MCAT First Aid Kits. These are HEAVILY subsidized study resources specifically for cash-strapped students. Don’t buy Altius, AAMC, UWorld, Kaplan, or any other MCAT resource until you look at these first. For the cost of one resource alone, you can now get a bundle with multiple resources.

Second, if anyone wants or needs a major MCAT score increase, our February Early Enrollment program gets you access to a proven MCAT system with the nation’s best 520+ pedigree for the lowest tuition of the year (e.g., half-tuition summer courses). Classes are enrolling now for late spring/summer MCATs.

  • Subsidized AAMC Official Prep Bundle + Altius Self-Study Bundle: I have solid data that full-length exam practice & review dramatically improve MCAT scores. So, I’ve decided to heavily subsidize the cost of both AAMC & Altius. Introducing the MCAT First Aid Kits:

    • These bundles give 12-month access for up to 56% lessthan regular AAMC/Altius pricing.

    • First Aid Kit Basic

      = AAMC Official Prep Bundle + Altius Exam Bundle

      • $71 less than AAMC Official Prep Bundle alone ($249 vs. $320).

    • First Aid Kit Pro

      = AAMC Official Prep Bundle + Complete Altius Self-Paced Course

      • only $79 more than AAMC alone ($399 vs. $320)

  • Expanded Altius Elite MCAT Course @ 1980s tuition.

    • I’ve expanded our Elite MCAT Classroom Course, and simultaneously reduced tuition to 1980s levels. This will indeed HELP students. Do the math; there’s no profit in it for Altius. I need your support to get these kinds of resources out to students, however, or they’ll inevitably disappear.

    • New Elite MCAT Course

      • 45 Live Classroom Sessions (over 3X more instruction vs. Kaplan)

      • 35+ Hours Small-Group Tutoring

      • Flexible Timeline: Finish in as little as 7-10 weeks, or study up to 6 months at no extra cost.

      • All available

        exams/materials from Altius & the AAMC (12 months access)

      • only $1,699 ($2,000 savings vs. Kaplan live course @ $3,699)

  • MARCH MADNESS:The Final Altius Sale…EVER. I’ve wanted so badly to help more pre-meds. In that effort, we’ve often turned to aggressive sales or discounts. On April 1, 2024, we’re moving back to our original approach 20 years ago: one low price for everyone, no sales, no gimmicks. March Madness has always been our biggest sale of the year, so we’re doing it one last time. Students save up to 66%. Legitimate below-cost prices that will never be offered again.

We understand determining an MCAT prep strategy is a big commitment, and we want to provide all of the resources we can for students to make an informed decision they can feel confident about through test day.

That’s why we regularly host free trial classes. Students can take the opportunity to meet our 520+ scoring instructors and experience exactly what our live online prep has to offer.
