The Lay of the Land

Smart is Beautiful

Buckle down for MCAT study in the palm tree-laced landscape of southern California, housed in one of many Southwest-inflected buildings amid coastal greenery.

A stone’s throw from both airport and ocean, USD is equipped with Zipcars that get around not only on campus, but to a downtown area with plenty of SoCal character.

Student Success Stories

Afonina F.

MCAT Summer Immersion, or as I lovingly called it, the MCAT Boot Camp is the reason I will become Dr. Afonina this May. I had taken the MCAT twice before, both times the scores were subpar. This program allowed me to truly put everything aside and immerse into the depth of knowledge needed (and so kindly provided) by the amazing people that not only taught us but made us feel like a part of a team, a part of something bigger, something that could take on the beast of MCAT and take it by the horns.All flowery language aside MCAT Summer Immersion is absolutely the answer! It is not easy, you still have to work hard, but they provide every single tool you need to kick some major MCAT butt. Their lectures made things click that never clicked before; my scores progressively went up each practice exam and the sense of comradery that this program created made this task feel a little less like Mt. Everest and more like something that can be accomplished.

Kyler T.

I enrolled in the summer immersion MCAT course and it proved to be a valuable decision in pursuing acceptance into medical school. The course instructors are experts in their fields and prepared me with thorough content knowledge and strategies to help me achieve my potential on the MCAT. Walking into the MCAT, I felt confident and ready for the task; and my score attests to the success of the Princeton Review MCAT course. I whole-heartedly recommend the MCAT Princeton Review course to anyone seeking an impressive MCAT score!

Bond R.

The Austin Summer Immersion course was the opportunity of a lifetime. After struggling the first few weeks while taking the course I eventually was able to get the hang of the things as the tight schedule is designed to make you as productive as possible. I am grateful for the friends that I made in my time in Austin as they were very influential in keeping my morale high during tough times. The course may seem daunting when you first begin but if you take it seriously, buckle down, and work hard the course will pay off and your score will improve.
