Question 1 of 7
Where are you in your pre-med journey?
This helps us understand what you're working toward right now.
Did you know
"The expectation is to be perfect — the standard has become so high it feels unachievable. The language barrier forced us to break down every question into its simplest concepts. That took away the fear of asking a stupid question."
— Neha & Sanayah · Pre-med · Alumni [Year]
Question 2 of 7
How many different medical specialties have you observed or shadowed in so far?
Medical schools recommend shadowing across a wide range of specialties — not just one or two.
From our alumni
I've shadowed a lot in the US — but it's been a lot more private practice, or just one specialty. Seeing a multitude of different specialties across multiple days, every single day — it's really eye opening. It was surprising to see the differences between each specialty.

Question 3 of 7
How deep has your clinical exposure been so far?
Stanford advises pre-health students to seek settings where "real treatments can be seen" and genuine patient interaction happens.

Question 4 of 7
Have you ever studied, lived, or worked abroad?
Stanford advises pre-health students that studying abroad is "a valuable experience that shouldn't be missed" — medical schools love to see it.
Why this matters
Medicine is becoming borderless.
International migration, telehealth, and an increasingly mobile world mean the patients walking into your office tomorrow may have grown up in a completely different healthcare system — with different expectations, different fears, and a different relationship with medicine entirely.
The next generation of healthcare leaders won't just treat illness. They'll build bridges.
I didn't get the best GPA. I didn't think I could do it. I did this to see if I still felt the passion. I sat there and pretty much cried with this lady as she had her rainbow baby. Those are the moments you want to hold on to.

Question 5 of 7
How confident are you that your current experiences are building real intercultural competence?
The AAMC identifies cultural competence as one of its 15 core competencies — assessed by every admissions committee alongside your GPA and MCAT.
AAMC core competencies
Cultural competence is not optional.
It's one of 15 core competencies the AAMC uses to evaluate every medical school applicant — not just GPA and MCAT. Admissions committees are specifically looking for evidence that you can understand, navigate, and connect with patients from backgrounds different from your own.
