Meet the founder: Dr. Ryan Gray
Hi, I’m Dr. Ryan Gray! After graduating from The University of Florida with my BS and failing to get accepted to medical school in my first application cycle, I successfully applied in my second cycle.
Taking those lessons of failure drove me to start Medical School Headquarters in 2012 to help other students understand the process of being successful premed students and successful applicants to medical school.
In 2021, we created Application Academy as a more affordable way for premeds to get expert guidance from our MSHQ advisors! Application Academy alone has helped several hundred students, on top of the thousands we’ve helped since we started.
