Altius graduates
Graduates of Altius are over 2X more likely to be admitted to medical school
Medical school admission teams care about every aspect of your application. A solid MCAT score is absolutely required, but an application can make or break over any single item on an application packet.
“A test score is needed to even be considered, but it’s standing out on other parts of the application is what gets a letter of admissions”

“I found the structure behind the Altius program extremely helpful in my learning process. I feel that, though Altius offered extensive and in-depth content review, the most influential aspect of the program for me was the insight into strategies to use while testing and prepping. My tutor was also very engaged, dedicated, and clear while working with me on improving my scores.”

“I enjoy having structure in my life and the Altius method provided all the tools necessary for my success while still being flexible. My mentor was there the whole way through to effectively guide me through the process. I honestly had phenomenal sessions with all my group sessions. Overall, I’d recommend the program to any pre-med students.”
With an AMCAS application fee, per school fees, secondary application fees, and interview travel, the application process can be prohibitively expensive. Adding professional admissions services may seem out of reach.
Fortunately, our admissions packages usually SAVE our clients money in the long run. We’ve also taken several steps to make admissions tuition more affordable.
Save On Application Fees
The typical student takes a “shotgun” approach by applying to dozens of schools and hoping for a little luck. Your 1-on-1 Admissions Mentor will help you target only the right schools that match your profile, saving you hundreds of dollars in both AMCAS and secondary fees.
Save On Travel Costs
With an expert admissions guide assisting you throughout the process, you will apply more efficiently, receive more acceptances, and spend less time traveling to interviews. Many of our clients will cancel late interviews because they already hold acceptance offers from better schools.
Save Time and Money By Getting It Right the First Time
Most students will miss at least one application cycle before they get their MCAT, AMCAS application, and all the other necessary items in order. Students may finally get things done, but not until late in the application year—which almost always leads to a failed cycle and the need to reapply. This mistake alone will eventually cost you one full year of a physician’s salary (50-100 times the cost of our admissions services). Our step-by-step process and 1-on-1 support mean no missed deadlines, wasted application cycles, or costly “re-applicant” problems.
Access Better Schools and Residency Programs
Our clients not only enjoy greater acceptance rates across the board, they are also accepted at much higher rates to the country’s most elite medical schools. Graduating from a top school opens doors for more competitive specialties and residency programs, which can spell hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in additional income over the long term.
Access Valuable Scholarships
Because our clients submit significantly better applications, they are usually first in line for merit-based scholarships. Our clients regularly receive multiple scholarship offers, with several students each year receiving full-ride offers. Even if you only receive a small, partial scholarship, that alone will cover the cost you paid for Altius Admission support.
