Our daughter attended the Outset program at Columbia and she had an unforgettable experience! She was not sure about medicine as her future career, but this program helped her fall in love with it. The activities, simulations, and lectures were great. She also learned a great deal about what she needs to do when applying to medical school. It was her first time at an overnight program, so we were unsure about it. However, she had an amazing experience. She was busy from morning until night, her counselor was extraordinary, and she met new friends. She is looking forward to next year!.

Our daughter attended the UNC Outset 2025 program. She loved it and really appreciate the what the program provided. It was a long day everyday but that didn't seem to face her. She enjoyed the mix of classes, simulation, campus tour, and around the town exploring. Having the specific track aligning with what she was looking to study was very nice as well. Being able to hear from real-life anesthesiologist was a highlight. It seems like the program could be 2 weeks long :) The staff was great. The process to sign up was straightforward and as a parent, I appreciate the communication throughout leading up to the start of the program. One thing that might be helpful is more media advertisement. I'm not sure how I found it in the first place. Happy that I did and it'll be great for others to see and join the program. Highly recommended!

Incredible hands-on, informative and very insightful week! A nice view into the process of training to become a doctor with engaging staff from residents to attendings. Plus a lot of fun on top of it all. Would absolutely send anyone I know who is interested in medicine to a week of camp with Outset.

My daughter left the UNC Outset yesterday and I’ve never seen her happier. Thank you for the limited phone use and no group chats. She felt she had an authentic opportunity to get to know her group and loved everything, from the sessions to the evening events. She is walking away from this experience with ideas on pathways for college, newfound confidence, and new friends.

Our daughter attend the UNC outset program. She thoroughly enjoyed it. While she wants to do be a PA in Dermatology, they didn’t have a PA or Dermatology specific program yet (she recommended!), she still learned so much and had the best time meeting new friends. The fun activities in the evening was wonderful too. She stayed so busy and truly loved it. She is looking forward to returning next year if they have a PA or dermatology track.

Our daughter just attended camp with Outset at UCLA and learned so much from the lectures and hands on simulations. Since it was her first overnight camp she’s ever gone to, we were worried she might get homesick, but she forgot all about us after we dropped her off! She was busy from morning ‘til night. She came out of the camp with an understanding of what to expect when applying for med school, taking the MCAT and what med school would be like. The camp was very well organized and we’re glad our daughter got the opportunity to experience it.

I sent my son to the Outset experience at UNC. I followed the Facebook group hoping for pictures, but I didn’t see any. I took that as my sign to start preparing for him to go away to college. My son returned from Outset with wonderful stories about his team, counselors, and faculty. I feel like I won the lottery by finding Outset! My son is already excited to go to an alumni event. Thank you for providing such a positive experience!

Honestly, before arriving to UNC I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't fit in but throughout the week I made friends and had a close community with the girls in my track. I'm really grateful for them and the counselors ( Brooke and Lauren). They gave great advice and seemed really happy at UNC. During the morning lectures I learned a lot about med school and the process from current med students. I do wish the phone rule wasn't so strict. I saw some of my friends from Project Uplift PLUS and other camps there with it taking pictures and I felt I missed good picture opportunities and to document my time during camp.
