FAQs

Outset Image
Will Outset help me get into college?

Outset is an extracurricular academic program. Like many extracurriculars, Outset can be a helpful addition to your resume and college application but will likely not be the deciding factor in your college application. Your grades, references, test scores, and personal statement matter most. Still, Outset can demonstrate to colleges and universities that you have a serious interest in medicine and have taken steps to explore that interest. Some alumni even talk about Outset in their personal statements.

How competitive is Outset?

Outset is a competitive summer program for 9th-12th grade students interested in medical careers. We receive thousands of applicants each year and accept fewer than 50% of students. We have strict academic standards and require applicants to submit a statement about their interest in medicine. If you pass our initial screening, then you will have a 10-minute video call with our Admissions team. After this call we request a teacher reference for some applicants.
