COLLEGE EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT - There are allot of scams that are associated with that phraise.

You armed with this site and google search, you should be able to find advice and facts on your own.


In schools they have people working called "guidance counselor". They can also help direct you, just know that these people make like 30k a year.

I think, unless you are trying to fit a square peg of a dream/hope/desire in to a round hole, all you need to do is look at the pre-professional programs at any college.

One example for a straight line program from HS to Med school:

To be considered for the program, students must:

Attain a combined Critical Reading/Math SAT of 1270 or greater, with no subset less than 560; ACT Composite score of 29 or greater.

Successful candidates typically:

Score 1300 or greater on the combined Critical Reading/Math SAT; ACT Composite score of 29 or greater

Rank in the top 5% of their high school class.

Have taken a strong schedule of AP and Honor classes during their high school career

Have hands-on experience in health-related professions (internships, jobs, EMT training, scientific research, shadowing doctors, etc.)

Reside in the Middle Atlantic region (i.e., PA, NJ, NY, DE, MD)

And of course there are minimum standards one must maintain while in the program.

Muhlenberg College Cooperative Program: Drexel 4-4

Or once in college:

Pursuing a Health Profession | Steinbright Career Development Center


It's really not that hard to find or figure out and you certainly don't need to waste your time (or $$) for someone else to do it for you.

Other people might want to know.

Most people who think they want to be doctors drift off to something else.
