High School - Rising 9th, 10th, 11th
Strategize early to build your profile and stand out from the crowded field. Starting early is the best way to get ahead in the admissions process. We can support you as you develop your academic interests, focus on your goals, and apply for unique summer programs and opportunities.

Direct Medical Programs (BS/MD, BS/DO)
At Moon Prep, our counselors have extensive experience working with students applying to highly competitive direct medical programs (BS/MD and BS/DO). Each year, over 50% of the students we work with are direct medical applicants. We coach talented and exemplary students, who are passionate about medicine, and help them gain a spot into elite direct medical programs.
​
Competitive direct medical program applications are built over years, not days or months. Admission rates can be very low for these types of programs, so we work consistently with the students to give them the best opportunities possible. We guide students to build up their resume throughout high school, gain meaningful clinical and research experience, and maximize their academic potential.
​
This process can be stressful for both parents and students, so Moon Prep is here to serve as your partner. Direct medical students often to apply to 20 or more schools; our counselors keep you on track and ahead of deadlines. We guide you through each step of the process to help make this journey a success.
