About Medical School HQ

Dr. Ryan Gray founded Medical School HQ after going through the ups and downs of the premed journey with little guidance. He was determined to make the application process easier for aspiring students.

Over the past decade, he has empowered hundreds of thousands of students through his podcasts, YouTube channels, and the Mappd software platform.

Realizing he couldn’t personally support every student who sought his help, Dr. Gray brought together a team of top-tier medical school admissions experts, including former Directors of Admissions and Admissions Officers.



Today, our dedicated advising team offers personalized, 1-on-1 guidance on every aspect of the premed process, including the whole application cycle if that’s what you need.

I’m Dr. Ryan Gray, founder of Medical School Headquarters. Like many of you, my med school journey wasn’t smooth—I only got accepted on my second attempt. But that setback pushed me to figure out exactly what it takes to succeed in this competitive process.

In 2012, I launched Medical School Headquarters to help aspiring physicians like you navigate medical school applications with clarity. Fast forward to 2021, we introduced Application Academy—an affordable solution for students to access expert guidance from our top admission advisors.

Since then, hundreds of premeds have transformed their applications and gotten accepted to their dream schools, with thousands more finding success through MSHQ. Now, it’s your turn!
