As part of the CSIDPAR (Chicago Summer Institute for the Advancement of Physicians and Researchers) program, I AM ABEL FOUNDATION offers two MCAT program opportunities exclusively for I Am Abel Foundation active mentees in good standing. The Summer MCAT INTENSIVE is a 12 week Summer Program with stipend. It requires FULL-TIME, in-person attendance. Our Fall/Spring MCAT INTENSIVE runs from October - April and requires at least 20-40 hours time commitment. There is no stipend. Both Programs include: ● 3rd party test prep materials at no additional cost (i.e. Blueprint, UWorld, AAMC etc...). This can cost up to $4k if students purchased on their own.
● Personalized and Group Tutoring and Coaching
● Quiet, bright, clean and friendly study environment (Summer Program Only)
● Paid parking reimbursement (Summer Program Only)
● Stipend (Summer Program Only) so you will not have the added responsibility of working while studying
● Group Coaching/Tutoring
● Private 1:1 tutoring (customized and up to 4hr weekly)
● Critical Analysis and Reasoning (CARS) Weekly Coaching
● Summer Intensive Applications are open March 18, 2024 - April 30, 2024. Sessions begin May 28, 2024 (with prep requirements given in advance).
● Fall/Spring Intensive Applications will be open in August. .
