The Pre-Professional Advising Office is here to support UGA students and alumni interested in applying to medical school. The Pre-Med Advisors can provide guidance at any stage of your pre-medical journey:
- Exploring your interest in becoming a physician
- Planning to apply to medical school
- Actively in the process of applying to medical school
- Determining which medical school to attend
The Pre-Med Advisors meet with you one-on-one to discuss your specific situation. The Pre-Professional Advising Office has developed programming to assist you as well. These events occur throughout the fall and spring semesters each school. Pre-Med Advising is available year-round.
We recommend that any interested undergraduate student connects with our office as early as possible. Freshmen are encouraged to meet with the Pre-Med Advisor in the spring semester of their first year.

Are You Applying this Cycle?
The Review My Application (RMA) process is a way for any student that is planning on applying to medical school soon to begin preparing their application documents and essays. This form will walk you through the different sections of the application and prompt you to type out your responses. You should then set up an appointment with the Pre-Med Advisor to review your RMA form in preparation for the upcoming cycle. The goal of the RMA is to give you the chance to work on the different application pieces ahead of time and to get feedback. Below you can find the instructions for how to complete the RMA form as well as fillable RMA form.
Please be sure to read all of the directions in the document before beginning the RMA process.
