As Lauryn Botterman, COO of <a href="https://whop.com/premedley/" rel="noreferrer">PreMedley</a>, puts it, those programs were "not necessarily offering a ton of value for students", despite charging very high prices.</p><blockquote class="kg-blockquote-alt">"PreMedley was built on Whop in response to that market gap. Today, it's one of the top-rated MCAT prep platforms in the country — with affordable pricing that ensures every premed has access to high-quality tutoring and medical school application guidance."</blockquote><h2 id="mcat-prep-options-were-expensive-fragmented-and-disappointing">MCAT prep options were expensive, fragmented, and disappointing</h2><p>Getting into med school is harder than ever, and the financial barriers start long before college. A 2018 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11780035/#:~:text=A%202018%20Association%20of%20American,1"><u>report</u></a> states that 75% of U.S. medical school matriculants come from the top two income brackets, only 5% from the lowest.  </p><p>MCAT prep is a significant part of that problem. A single prep course from some of the major test prep players in the industry can cost well over $5,000, a sum unattainable for many students, and that's before factoring in the <a href="https://students-residents.aamc.org/register-mcat-exam/mcat-scheduling-fees"><u>$355 MCAT registration fee</u></a> and rescheduling fees of up to $175.</p><p>Yet despite a price point that excluded many low-income and first-generation students, those who did pay for help were often left unsatisfied: all the while desperately needing qualified, informed support.</p><blockquote><em>"We regularly have students tell us that they previously signed up for very expensive MCAT prep courses that didn't deliver much support. And then they come to PreMedley, and they're like, wow, for a fraction of the price, I'm getting access to so many more resources from this community."</em> - Evan Botterman, CEO of PreMedley</blockquote><h2 id="whop-gave-premedley-the-tools-to-help-thousands-of-students">Whop gave PreMedley the tools to help thousands of students</h2><p>The question wasn't whether the system was broken — Evan already knew that. The question was how to build something better without enterprise backing or a technical team. </p><p>That's where Whop came in.</p><p>Whop provided the infrastructure to run a paid education community without having to build that system from scratch. It gave the team a way to organize memberships, deliver resources, and manage access in one place while keeping the focus on student support.</p><p>Through Whop, PreMedley’s students can access subject-specific courses, structured challenges, and an average of 20 hours of live tutoring each week across different topics — all in one place, rather than scattered across multiple tools. The community even extends past the MCAT, into med school applications and beyond.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-video-card kg-width-regular" data-kg-thumbnail="https://storage.ghost.io/c/12/7b/127b828b-bdc2-4972-9cf2-de857df9c324/content/media/2026/03/premedey-whop_thumb.jpg" data-kg-custom-thumbnail>

PreMedley is exactly the kind of outcome that vision produces: a student who saw a broken system in his own life and built the solution, without a technical background or enterprise backing.</p><p><em>"It's been really amazing to see how Whop has helped us scale and grow. Just in terms of all the different apps and features that have helped us make our resources available, it's been really key to our growth and success over the past couple of years." - </em>Lauryn Botterman</p><h2 id="premedley-turned-affordable-support-into-real-outcomes">PreMedley turned affordable support into real outcomes</h2><p>Alicia came to PreMedley from a low-income, first-generation background — exactly the kind of student the traditional system leaves behind.</p><blockquote><em>"We have a student named Alicia, who came from a low-income background - she was actually a first-generation college student in her family. When she joined PreMedley, we helped her get a 12-point increase in her MCAT score, which, in MCAT language, is a really significant jump. With our support, she also earned 15 med school acceptances, including four full tuition scholarships to some of the most competitive medical schools. And now she’s paying it forward to other premeds as one of the mentors in our community."</em> <br>- Lauryn Botterman</blockquote><p>To understand why that 12-point jump matters, consider the baseline: according to AAMC data, examinees whose initial score was between 472 and 517 usually only bump their score by 2 to 3 points on their second attempt. </p><p>PreMedley members, by contrast, consistently report increases of 15 to 20 points.</p><p>Another student, Ciara, started with a score of 491 on her MCAT diagnostic, which is around the 20th percentile of test-takers. After joining PreMedley, Ciara’s score increased by an impressive 28 points to a 519, bringing her to the 97th percentile of testers. Ciara went on to earn multiple medical school acceptances, and she also now gives back to the PreMedley community as a mentor.  </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://whop.com/blog/content/images/2026/03/premedly-testimonial.png" class="kg-image" alt="How PreMedley is helping 7000+ premeds get into medical school with Whop" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w600/2026/03/premedly-testimonial.png 600w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w1000/2026/03/premedly-testimonial.png 1000w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w1600/2026/03/premedly-testimonial.png 1600w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/2026/03/premedly-testimonial.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Since it was created in 2023, PreMedley has supported close to 7,000 students through their MCAT prep, taking the exam, and the med school application process.

In markets where cost has risen faster than access or support, that kind of model can resonate quickly, and Whop is here to make it possible.</p><p>In PreMedley’s case, that problem was never just the MCAT. Students needed help across the entire journey, from studying for the exam to building applications that could actually get them into medical school.</p><p><em>"There is just such a desire and a need for a new approach that is affordable but still high quality, and really supports students through every single phase of the process towards getting into medical school. It's not just about having a good MCAT score - the application side is such a critical aspect as well. PreMedley is able to guide students through that entire process, not just MCAT support, not just applications, but both, in a comprehensive community and package." <br>- </em>Lauryn Botterman</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://whop.com/blog/content/images/2026/03/lauryn-and-evan.png" class="kg-image" alt="How PreMedley is helping 7000+ premeds get into medical school with Whop" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w600/2026/03/lauryn-and-evan.png 600w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w1000/2026/03/lauryn-and-evan.png 1000w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/size/w1600/2026/03/lauryn-and-evan.png 1600w, https://whop.com/blog/content/images/2026/03/lauryn-and-evan.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption><i><em class="italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Lauryn and Evan, the brother-sister duo behind PreMedley</em></i></figcaption></figure><p>That broader support extends beyond content and tutoring.
