Mentor – BreakThru Mentoring

It's Easy to Make Costly Mistakes.

There's so many mistakes and missteps you can make. Do poorly in a class? Take the wrong classes? Didn't join the right clubs? Don't have enough volunteering experiences? The list can go on and on.
Project BreakThru is an easy and inexpensive way to avoid those mistakes by embracing mentoring. Learn from our BreakThru Mentor's mistakes so you don't make them yourselves!

It's Hard to Recover from Big Mistakes.

Go four years and only get a 3.0 average? Didn't get involved in any clubs? Didn't take advantage of tutoring... Yeah. Avoid making these big mistakes. Get a mentor to help guide you from day one!

There's A Lot of Bad Advice Out There.

If we had a nickel for every piece of bad advice... we could probably pay off everyone's student loans. Seriously, though there's a lot of bad advice. Most of this advice comes from people who are reporting their own personal story. One person's personal experience doesn't necessarily apply to everyone - and hence it turns into bad advice.
At Project BreakThru we strive to 1) Find you a mentor who has had similar experiences to you, and 2) Give you access to a wide variety of mentors on the site! Our mentors are tailoring their advice to help you, not just to report their experiences.

There Are Many Roads Into, Through, and Out of Medical School.

Everyone knows the classic path to medical school. Get a 4.0 GPA, do research, volunteering, be a club leader and you're in! However, this path leaves a lot of variables open. What will you major in? What volunteering experiences will you do? You're a club leader of what? You'll run into many of the same questions in medical school. Having a mentor makes finding the answers to these questions both easier and more fulfilling.
Many of our mentors have taken unique routes into medical school. I think you'll find that that their stories are similar to your present or future!

Experience Turns on Perspective.

Perspective is funny. It's the way you see situations and you get it from your experiences, but you can also get it from listening to other people's experiences.
Being mentored is a great way to obtain perspective. Perhaps one of the best ways. I'd even make the argument that perspective and experience were the original reasons for mentoring.
