We’re team mSHQ
How it started
Dr. Ryan Gray started Medical School HQ after going through the premed process without much support and understanding that he could make a difference.
Now, more than 10 years later, he’s helped hundreds of thousands of students through his podcasts, YouTube channels, and his Mappd software platform. After realizing he couldn’t help all of the students who wanted to work with him, he surrounded himself with experts in the medical school admissions space, including former Directors of Admissions, Admissions Officers, and other experts.
Our small advising team focuses on providing students with 1-on-1 expert advising on every aspect of the premed process, including through the whole application cycle if that’s what you want.
What is medical school headquarters?
MedicalSchoolHQ.net takes the RELEVANT premed topics and creates a one-stop shop for you to quickly get the information you need. Follow our current, constantly updating “Premed 101” page for an easy step-by-step guide to your premed years. We are constantly looking for new ideas that will help YOU. Please let us know what you need to succeed and we will provide it.
MedicalSchoolHQ.net is the work of physicians. This site is here to help guide medical school applicants through the admissions process. We remember how the MCAT and the AMCAS were (and still are) very intimidating and overwhelming for anybody wanting to apply to medical school. Let MedicalSchoolHQ.net be your hub of information to simplify the process.
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.
