How Long Should I Subscribe to Pre-Med Consulting?

The Minimum: 3 Months

Three months is the minimum we recommend because that's how long it takes to complete a full project cycle:

• Month 1: Define your research question, initial literature review, methodology design
• Month 2: Execute — data collection, content creation, or research implementation
• Month 3: Synthesise findings, prepare final deliverable, presentation

Shorter than 3 months and you're cutting corners. The project won't have the depth that makes it meaningful on an application.

The Sweet Spot: 4-6 Months

Most students stay 4-6 months. The extra time allows for:

• A more polished final deliverable
• Time to pivot if the initial direction doesn't work (this happens and it's fine)
• A second project or extension of the first
• More sessions for application strategy alongside the project

When to Start

Ideally, start in Grade 10 or early Grade 11. This gives you time to:

1. Complete a full project (3-6 months)

2. Let it sit and mature

3. Reference it authentically in applications and interviews

4. Have your mentor write a letter of recommendation based on sustained observation

Starting in Grade 12 is possible but tight. You'll be building a project and writing applications simultaneously.

The Cancel-Anytime Policy

There's no lock-in. Subscribe monthly, cancel anytime. We'd rather have a student who's engaged for 3 months than one who's going through the motions for 12.
