Step 1: Sign In With Your Email
Go to coach.medicalaid.org and enter your email address. A six-digit code is sent to your inbox. Enter the code to sign in. There is no password to create or remember.
Step 2: Save Your Profile
Add your year in school, the year you plan to start medical school, your GPA and science GPA, and your MCAT score or planned test date. You can update these at any time as things change.
Step 3: Log Your Experience Hours
Record each experience with a title, category, hours, dates and notes. Categories cover clinical experience, shadowing, community service, research and other activities. For example, after a volunteer shift, log the hours and a short note about what you did or learned.
Hours are self-reported. Pre-Med Coach organizes your records but does not verify them, so keep any documentation your school or program asks for, and leave patient names and other private details out of your notes.
Step 4: Turn Goals Into Tasks
Save specific tasks such as reviewing a prerequisite, booking a meeting with your advisor, updating your experience log or blocking time for your personal statement. Tasks stay with your profile and experience records.
Step 5: Check Your Dashboard
The dashboard brings together your saved profile, hours by category, next priorities and upcoming MCAT test dates, so you can see what needs attention next. Test dates are curated, not a live feed, so confirm dates and deadlines with the official source before you decide anything.
Built-In GPA and MCAT Tools
Pre-Med Coach can calculate your credit-weighted overall and science GPA from the courses you enter, and add your four scaled MCAT section scores to show the matching total-score percentile from published AAMC tables. These numbers help with planning; an MCAT percentile is not a prediction of admission. For a separate GPA worksheet, use the AMCAS, AACOMAS and TMDSAS GPA Calculator.
