Avoid MCAT Inflation: Last Chance

To our many pre-med friends and university associates:

This initiative will be a major assist to many students and their parents. Please forward to all pre-meds re: 
  • Students' last chance to avoid inflation in MCAT prep costs.
  • Thru July 31st Altius will lock-in our lowest 2022 price for any 2023 exam/course (Black-Fri level savings)
Inflation has already hit MCAT prep...
Both Kaplan and Princeton have significantly increased 2022-23 prices for base-level MCAT prep courses--both are now $3,499 for in-person lecture courses w/ 1-year of access.
At Altius, our philosophy is "students first, profits last." In 2021-22 we awarded another $3M+ in scholarships and tried to set an industry example with our ultra-low-price Elite Classroom Course ($1,000 less than Kaplan/PR before, now $1,500 less). Unfortunately, skyrocketing costs are becoming untenable. As a result, beginning August 2022 Altius will increase some course tuition rates and reduce the size of all discounts/promos.
Anyone planning for a 2022-23 MCAT exam can lock-in pre-inflation prices by registering before July 31:
  • Platinum 1-on-1 MCAT Course (45 1-on-1 Sessions): Reg. $6,999
    • 90th Percentile Score Guarantee + 30-Day Money-Back Trial Period
    • $1,800 OFF - Only $5199 w/ code 2022PLAT - Expires 7/31/22

    • Only $99 w/ code 2022TESTS - Expires 7/31/22
Even as tuition costs increase, Altius remains committed to producing #realresults for the best possible value. We never stop fighting for you until you have an elite MCAT score and that coveted acceptance letter.

Solace Fall Application

Hi! My name is Joshua Diedrich and I’m Chief of Membership for an organization named Solace. This is an exciting time because we are beginning applications for the fall semester!

We’re a volunteer organization based at Shands Hospital, focused on the care and treatment of geriatric patients. We’re looking for driven, bright student volunteers willing to make an impact on patients lives through connection and compassion.
Solace has a special place in my heart as we primarily focus on giving back to the underserved elderly population by volunteering with patients at Shands. Our members are dedicated and passionate about helping spread joy to the elderly community and work closely with the Admissions Discharge Transition Unit (ADTU). This past spring we’ve also had the pleasure of working at Al’z Place, a center for Alzheimer’s patients, and the 6th and 7th floor of Shand’s. This summer will only be our 6th semester as an organization at UF and we are already growing and expanding and would love for others to be a part of this journey.
Our applications open on July 18th and close July 31st. We’ll then hold interviews from August 8-10, held over Zoom. Feel free to contact me at ufsolace.membership@gmail.com with any questions!

Pre-Health Student Organization Opportunity!

Hello future RegeneGators!

My name is Caroline De Paula, and I am starting a new student-run organization this upcoming school year dedicated to students passionate about innovation and medicine who may find their interest in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Our RegeneGator Organization aims to promote knowledge and awareness by providing community support to our members through mentorship, bi-weekly meetings, and volunteering events. 

We also wish to encourage networking among our members through connection with current UF professors and researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine! Our meetings will include, but will not be limited to, introductions to tissue engineering and regeneration, adoptive cellular therapies for cancer, stem cells and iPSCs, CAR T-cells, gene therapy applications, and more! 

At RegeneGator, we truly believe you’ll be able to find your study buddies, friends, and family. If you wish to become a part of our mission and to learn more about the growing field of regenerative medicine, make sure to fill out our member interest form to be added to the listserv! 

For anyone also interested in becoming an officer for our organization, we are still taking applications for Vice-President, Treasurer, and Outreach Chair.
