MCAT Workshop 2007-2008

Are you planning to go to medical school? Register for the Health Professions and Prelaw Center's MCAT Workshop to help you prepare to take the computerized MCAT in spring 2008.

Our professional test review workshop has an enrollment fee of only $600.

The workshop is designed to help students prepare to take the MCAT in spring 2008. It will run from October 8, 2007 to the end of March.

The workshop will include four full-length computerized practice exams to help students prepare for the MCAT. We purchase the newest test products from the AAMC for practice exams in order to provide students with the latest and most appropriate materials available.

The teachers of our workshop are all experienced college instructors. Many of the other MCAT prep courses held locally are taught by undergraduate students, with little more experience than the students they are teaching. Please see the teacher biographies below for more information.
