Read on Twitter
Look, if you send me a DM talking about all the free resources you offer + then I look at your website + you’re offering advising for THOUSANDS of dollars, then you clearly didnt spend 1min reading any of my tweets to the #premed community.
So premeds read on for FREE resources.

Seriously, we wrote this guide for *YOU* because we know how hard it is and what it feels like to be lost. And we purposefully made it FREE because everyone should have the knowledge to make informed choices about their future career. #MedAppGuide
Here’s a tweetorial based off Edition 1 of #MedAppGuide https://twitter.com/brichristophers/status/1153022516623040512
As @FirstGenMD puts it, do not let others decide your path for you. Reach out for help, and we will help you find a way! https://twitter.com/firstgenmd/status/1263103233515388929
Med students don’t just look one way; they are people with life experiences. For example, check out this thread of what jobs folks worked before being in medicine: https://twitter.com/travisabenson/status/1262783102038028291
Here is a whole list of role models (thanks for being the catalyst @DrBrittaniJ ): https://twitter.com/drbrittanij/status/1144959124750446592
Some more great accounts: @FirstGenMD @_BGWC_ @NHMA_CHSP @SNMA @anams1975 @BlackWomenDocs @MelaninInMedic1 @LatinasInMed @LMSA_National @MSPA_National
Folks who keep it real about how to make things work when applying and a student: @traependergrast @londyloo @MiMentorOrg @AtashaJordan ( http://atashajordan.com )
Don’t know who to turn to for advice about MD/DO applications? Here’s a whole list of tweeps that say they are willing to help out FOR FREE! https://twitter.com/travisabenson/status/1260209797514899458
Here’s a list of over 100 folks who are looking to guide future MD-PhDs, DO-PhDs, physician-scientists FOR FREE: https://twitter.com/brichristophers/status/1259910431440662528
Also think critically about the statistics you see online. Mean = average, so there are folks above and below that number. Don’t let a number stop you early on from continuing on the path. https://twitter.com/brichristophers/status/1204149360545718280
To that point, here are some of us showing how we are #ImperfectDoubleDocs. You don’t need to be perfect to get into an MD-PhD or DO-PhD program. https://twitter.com/brichristophers/status/1142548122096295939

@ProjectShort provides pro bono medical and graduate school application advising. That’s right, FOR FREE. https://twitter.com/projectshort/status/1167479804741873664

Not to scare you but unfortunately there are still many NOT FREE expenses in medical school, so keep this in mind and be prepared: https://twitter.com/shemdtweets/status/1264309161661210624
But there are ways to make it work! Some schools offer full tuition scholarships (thanks for pointing it out, @_shadiam ). Other schools offer debt-free funding ( @WeillCornell + @Columbia, I’m sure there are others, these are the ones I know in NYC) or tuition-free ( @nyugrossman) https://twitter.com/_shadiam/status/1229930967906816003
The process is overwhelming, confusing, intimidating, but remember, #MedTwitter has got your back!
