For families whose student is aiming at medicine, nursing, CRNA, PA, or allied health — RoundsAhead maps the coursework, clinical hours, colleges, and deadlines that decide the path, starting years before the applications are due.
Built by a parent who needed it. Every pathway fact is sourced and dated.
Most college-prep tools treat every student the same. A pre-health path has prerequisites, required clinical hours, and an accreditor behind every profession. RoundsAhead is built on that structure.
MD vs. DO vs. CRNA vs. PA — training length, required hours, cost, and the tradeoffs that actually decide it.
Honest college data — net price by income, not sticker price — with the source and the year it was verified shown in plain sight.
A month-by-month timeline from junior year through decision day — testing, clinical hours, recommendations, and financial-aid dates.
Track clinical and volunteer hours, activities, and awards — then export a clean resume and counselor brag sheet.
The decisions that open or close a pre-health path happen early — the 9th-grade math track, which sciences are taken when, where the clinical hours come from. By senior year, most of them are already made. Starting in high school is the entire point.
This category is full of inflated claims. RoundsAhead is built to be the tool a counselor trusts and a parent can rely on.
Prerequisites, hours, and figures link back to the authority they came from, with the date we last verified them.
We show what families in your income band actually pay, and link to each school's official net-price calculator.
No made-up aid estimates, no essay writing, no "pick this school." We give you the facts and point you to the official tools.
The information you enter about your student is private, and you can export or delete it whenever you want.
RoundsAhead is free for counselors — a roster view for your students and printable per-pathway handouts you can send home. Built for students headed into medicine, nursing, and allied health.
