Building a Competitive Pre-Med Profile Before Senior Year

This webinar is a focused, practical session for high school students and their parents. Ishaani Khatri, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University MS4 and college admissions expert, will clarify what colleges actually look for in future pre-meds and how to use freshman–junior years to signal readiness for rigorous science. Expect guidance on selecting the right coursework and labs, when AP/IB or dual enrollment helps, and how to balance GPA with meaningful commitments.

Key learnings include how to find and document authentic clinical exposure (volunteering, shadowing), ways to pursue beginner-friendly research or service with real impact, and how to develop leadership without overloading your schedule.

Ishaani will cover building a cohesive narrative across activities and essays, cultivating recommenders, planning productive summers, and deciding whether to submit test scores. Families will learn how to evaluate colleges for pre-med advising, mentoring, and outcomes, and how parents can support without taking over. You’ll leave with a clear, step-by-step plan to enter senior year confident and competitive.
