TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Fran Scott, my premedical advisor at my illustrious undergraduate institution, was extremely instrumental in my journey to dental school. From my freshman year, we strategically mapped out academic and extracurricular goals each year to shape me into a competitive dental school applicant. It was Dr. Scott who introduced me to pre-dental internship opportunities, which led to my acceptance into the 2021 Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the 2022 Howard University Pre-Health Summer Enrichment Program. These programs were transformative, providing invaluable exposure, mentorship, and preparation for my career in dentistry. I am endlessly grateful to Dr. Scott for his unwavering support, mentorship, and commitment to uplifting future health professionals. His belief in me laid the foundation for my growth and success. Because of Dr. Scott, I walk boldly toward my purpose, empowered and prepared to pay it forward.
Dr. Scott is phenomenal at what he does. Before seeking his guidance, I applied to medical school and did not receive any interviews or acceptances. After a few gap years, I was thinking of switching to the PA route but he reassured me that I was capable of getting into medical school. He helped me craft my medical school list and looked over my application. With his help, I’m happy to say that I’ve received 3 medical school acceptances. I would not be where I am without Dr. Scott. If you need motivation or help applying to medical school, I definitely recommend his services!
Dr. Scott helped me long before I applied to medical school. He provided advice, guidance, and encouragement throughout my undergraduate experience. His pre-medical counseling was invaluable to my journey, and he supported me every step of the way. He helped me create a school list that aligned with my values and stats, thoroughly reviewed my application including all of my activities, and conducted mock interviews with feedback and additional practice questions as I prepared for the interview cycle. I am excited to begin my medical journey at Kansas City University on a merit scholarship and truly could not have done it without Dr. Scott’s help. I would recommend his services to anyone, as he is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success. I am forever grateful and confident that ScottMed will continue to impact the lives of many future physicians!
Dr. Scott was incredible throughout my PA school application process. He made time for me whenever I needed guidance and was super easy to work with, always approachable and supportive. Thanks to his help, I landed 5 out of 6 interviews, which was amazing, and ultimately received 2 acceptances into PA schools, which were York College and Touro University Manhattan campus. I truly couldn’t have done it without his expert advice and encouragement. Not reaching out to Dr. Scott would be the worst mistake for any graduate level process!

Dr. Scott was the saving grace for the premedical program at my undergrad for many years after he joined the institution. Before him, premedical students like myself lacked the guidance and support needed to create a compelling medical school application. He aided my journey by providing valuable advice and resources, which landed me at a top-10 medical school with a generous financial aid package. Without him, things would look very different for a lot of my colleagues and me.

I can say a lot of great things about Dr. Scott. He has always been supportive of my dreams, along with my colleagues. When I first met him, I could instantly tell that although he displayed a passive demeanor, he was passionate about supporting the success of pre-dental/pre-medical students. My fondness memory of Dr. Scott was when he helped me prepare for my dental school interviews. He took the time out to participate in a mock interview with me and I felt so confident when it was over. This is one of many times that Dr. Scott has showed his love and dedication to students like me and I will forever be blessed to be a product of his work.

Dr. Scott has always been supportive throughout the journey of getting to medical school. He was an incredible resource with invaluable connections. Dr. Scott was able to give constructive criticism to my application with a guide on how to be the best applicant I could possibly be he was also able to guide me through my interviews by providing Mock interviews with excellent questions and giving feedback on my answers.

I would not be where I am today without Dr. Scott’s guidance. Throughout my collegiate experience, Dr. Scott has always been patient, kind, non-judgmental, and full of resources. He has an open-door policy, and I always left his office feeling fulfilled and determined. When I decided to pursue Physician Assistant school, he connected me with the Director of Admissions at Duke University, which is the #1 PA program in the US. I was encouraged to apply, which eventually led to an acceptance. Although I chose not to attend Duke, I would have never imagined that I would be in a position where I would be able to choose between top PA programs. None of that would have been possible without Dr. Scott’s guidance, encouragement, desire to read over my personal statement, and willingness to write my letters of recommendation. He has always believed in me since the day he met me, and there is no doubt that he cares about the future and success of his students. I truly cannot think of a better advisor and mentor to have.

Dr. Scott is a pre-health advisor invested in each profession's application process. He took the time to learn how being pre-dental, pre-PA, pre-optometry, and so on are similar but vastly different from being pre-medical. Having an advisor who valued my pre-dental process and listened to my concerns was refreshing. I also had the opportunity to do a mock interview with Dr. Scott as I prepared for the second phase of my application cycle. Working with Dr. Scott gave me the reassurance needed to confirm that I was ready for my interviews. I highly recommend Dr. Scott’s advising service to those seeking guidance on their pre-health journey!
