text: premed tips? hi, i'm a freshman premed student and this is my 1st semester. i'm in several clubs, have a job and am doing some research. i would just like to know if any premeds/med students have any tips on what i should start doing to prepare for med school admission? when should i start looking at the mcat tests? everyone is premed their freshman year. the way to ensure you won't be one of the 99% that gets weeded out is high grades and the appropriate classes that your adviser will recommend. just study and go to your classes and you'll get in.
