Founder & CEO

Om Patel

Om is finishing up his bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences at the University of Central Florida, where he also conducted independent research on the metastatic effects of artificial sweeteners. He has co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, worked as a medical assistant in urology, and spent over 1,000 hours tutoring premedical students in organic chemistry and MCAT preparation.

After earning multiple medical school acceptances, Om reflected on how the premed journey had become needlessly stressful, fragmented, and expensive. He saw students wasting time searching for affordable and trustworthy resources, and he wanted to create something that made studying both structured and inspiring.

That vision became MCAT Edge, built to make high-quality MCAT prep accessible to every student. With over 1,000 practice questions, an AI-powered tutor, weekly live review sessions, and a growing student community, MCAT Edge gives premeds everything they need in one place.
