About ACE Preps

ACE Preps is a nonprofit MCAT tutoring platform built on one simple belief: access to quality test preparation should not depend on how much money you have.

Why We Started

The MCAT is one of the most important exams a pre-med student will ever take. Yet the average student spends over $2,000 on preparation materials, courses, and tutoring. For many students — especially first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students — this cost is simply out of reach.

ACE Preps was created to change that. We connect students with high-scoring volunteer tutors who are passionate about teaching and giving back. Every session is free. Every tutor is verified. And every student gets the support they need to succeed.

We're just getting started — and we're looking for students who need support and tutors who want to give back. Join us as we build something meaningful.

Our Mission

To provide free, high-quality MCAT tutoring to every pre-med student who needs it, removing financial barriers to medical school preparation and increasing access to healthcare careers for underrepresented communities.

Our Vision

A future where every aspiring medical student has equal access to the preparation, mentorship, and support they need to succeed — regardless of their socioeconomic background. We envision ACE Preps growing into a nationally recognized resource for equitable pre-med support.

Our Values

Access for All

Every student deserves quality MCAT prep, regardless of financial background. We remove cost as a barrier to medical school readiness.

Verified Quality

All tutors scored 515+ on the MCAT and go through a manual review process. Students get help from people who truly know the exam.

Community-Driven

ACE Preps is powered by volunteers who want to give back. Every session, every office hour, every study guide is a gift from the community.

Looking Ahead

ACE Preps is growing. We're building toward deeper integrations with student organizations, expanded study resources, AI-powered study assistance, and stronger connections with pre-med communities across universities.

Whether as a student organization, a registered nonprofit, or a grassroots initiative, our goal stays the same: make MCAT prep free and accessible for everyone. If you believe in this mission, join us — as a student, a tutor, or a supporter.
