why preround

Advice ages fast in medicine.

Most services pair you with an attending who matched decades ago, most of the time not even in your specialty. Residency has changed. What program directors look for depends on the specialty. Your mentor should know what they want now.

In your specialty

Every specialty has its own culture. If you're going into ENT, you need someone who knows what ENT program directors look for, not generic advice.

Where you're headed

Residents and attendings from the specialties and programs you're actually aiming for. Your mentor is where you want to be, right now.

Current by definition

They went through this recently. They know what committees want today.

Real mentorship shouldn't cost thousands. Preround is priced for people still in training.

Residents, fellows, and attendings who just walked this path. Vetted by us, matched to you.

questions

Questions, answered.

  • Current residents, fellows, and attendings vetted by our team, drawn from the specialties and programs students are actually aiming for. Tutors meet score cutoffs: Step 2 mentors scored 260+, Step 1 and Step 3 mentors 240+, and MCAT mentors 516+.

  • You don't browse profiles. You submit a request, and our team reviews it and hand-matches you with a mentor who fits your specialty, stage, and goals. Every match is made by a person, not an algorithm.

  • Never at submission. Your card is saved when you request, and only charged once our team has reviewed your request and confirmed your match or order.

  • Most services are matched and delivered within one to two weeks, depending on the task. Exact timing depends on your mentor's schedule, and you'll coordinate it with them directly on the platform.

  • Rare, since we cover nearly every specialty. If your exact fit isn't available, we'll propose the closest strong alternative, for example another surgical subspecialist if no neurosurgery resident is free. If it isn't right for you, you decline and your card is never charged.

  • You're connected with your mentor on the platform, where you can message each other and plan your session together.

  • Yes. Premedical students have their own track, from MCAT tutoring to application mentorship, and we match IMGs with mentors who understand the IMG path.

  • Because you're only charged after your match is confirmed, most concerns never become refund questions. If a session isn't delivered, contact us at support@preround.app and we'll make it right, case by case.
