Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AesculaMD pre-med diagnostic?
The AesculaMD diagnostic is a free quiz (about 10 minutes) that delivers your pre-med archetype (one of 7 profiles), where you stand in Academics & MCAT, Clinical, Research, Volunteering, Shadowing, Leadership, Letters and Narrative, a school fit preview from 193 verified medical schools, and the first terms of your plan. No account required.
How does AesculaMD score medical school competitiveness?
AesculaMD scores applicants across four domains: Academic (GPA, science GPA, course rigor), Clinical (patient contact hours, consistency, role depth), Research (lab experience, output, mentorship), and Mission (community service, specialty alignment, personal narrative). Scores are benchmarked against the verified 193-school database.
Is AesculaMD free to use?
The whole product is free. The diagnostic needs no account, and every feature — the Tracker with no monthly cap, the Review Panel, Story Bank, school list generation and the roadmap — is available to every account. There is no trial, no card and no tier that unlocks the useful part. If that ever changes we would say so well in advance, and logging your experiences, reading them back and exporting them stay free permanently.
