About Dr Jason Spears
Physician | Premed Coach | AuthorÂ
Are you ready to go from a diamond in the rough premed to a must-admit medical school applicant? If so, you're in the right place.Â
I know what it feels like to struggle with self-doubt, to want to make your parents proud, and to search for a "guaranteed" way to get into medical school. Not long ago, I was in your exact position -- dreaming of becoming a doctor but facing major hurdles along the way.Â
My Journey: From Premed to PhysicianÂ
When I started at Northwestern University, I was dead set on becoming a doctor. But let me tell you—freshman chemistry was brutal. Even with tutors, problem sets, and office hours, I barely made it through.
But quitting was never an option.
I wasn’t premed just for myself; I was doing it for my grandma, who suffered a brain aneurysm when I was eight, and for my paternal grandma, who had a stroke. Plus, I couldn’t imagine telling my mentor, Dr. Smith (an anesthesiologist who gave me my first shadowing opportunity in 7th grade), that I didn’t have what it took.
Like many of you, I believed medical school admissions came down to MCAT scores and GPA. But even after doing everything right, I received rejection after rejection—until I discovered a shocking truth.
AMCAS had made a clerical error on my application.Â
They reported zero credit hours for most of my premed courses, making it look like I didn’t meet the requirements. As a result, every medical school rejected me. This error, though rare, delayed my path to becoming a doctor.
But it also fueled my passion for helping premed students avoid mistakes and secure their medical school acceptance.

Proven Strategies That Actually Work
Unlike other premed coaches who rely on personal anecdotes, I use strategies backed by data from medical school admissions committees from across the country. When you work with me, you won’t hear, "Well, this worked for me, so it should work for you."Â
Instead, I use proven, universal strategies to increase your chances of getting into medical school—no matter where you apply.
