Join the Founding Study Hall, free

Every Thursday, 9–11 AM and 8–10 PM ET. Cameras on, microphones off, and a shared focus timer with other future doctors.

Save your seat

Set it up the way you study.

Choose your preferences and save your spot. When PreRounds opens, you'll be matched using exactly these settings.

Who you're matched with Private to you

Three floors. Pick your focus.

Like a campus library, every floor has its own noise level. Sit wherever matches your energy that day, or book a private room for your partner or study group.

How a session works

  1. Pick a floor or a room

    Join an open table on the quiet, collaborative, or social floor, or book a private room ahead of time.

  2. Get matched

    Partners are paired by time, format, social level, and stage of training.

  3. Set today's goal

    Share your goal in fifteen seconds when you sit down, then check it off before you leave.

  4. Watch your progress

    Hours and goals are logged for you, so you can see how far you've come week to week.

Free. No card. No catch.

Future doctors already pay for prep books, practice exams, the MCAT, and every application along the way. A place to study shouldn't be one more bill.

Nothing to pay

Study rooms, matching, check-ins, and tracking are free for students. There is no paid tier to unlock.

No card to join

Signing up takes your email and nothing else. We never ask for a credit card or payment details.

No cancellation fees

Miss a session and nothing is charged. A reliability score for showing up keeps everyone accountable instead.

“I studied for the MCAT after graduation, and I learned that the hardest part isn’t the content. It’s showing up, day after day. You don’t need someone to hold you accountable at the finish line. You need peers who hold you accountable in the small moments. That’s what PreRounds is for.”

A community that goes with you

The people you study beside are on the same path you are. Over months of sessions, they become your network: future classmates, partners for the next exam, and people a few steps ahead who remember what this stage felt like.

Lead a pod or a floor

Founding members can help lead study pods and shape how floors run. That's real leadership and service you can speak to in your applications.

Build your network early

Meet people across schools and stages, from first-year biology students to applicants interviewing this season.

Mentorship and tutoring

Planned for later: guidance and tutoring from people a few steps ahead of you.

  • Undergraduates
  • Post-bacc students
  • Master's students
  • Gap-year applicants
  • MCAT preparation
  • Current applicants

Safe by design

We only ask for your email to join, but that's where our safety measures begin, not where they end. Every room is built so you can focus on your work, not on who's on the other side of the screen.

Members only

Every member verifies their email, and our servers check it before issuing a private pass into a room. No anonymous drop-ins from the open internet.

Screened sign-ups

Our servers screen every sign-up for bots and spam before it ever reaches a room.

Encrypted, private sessions

Video travels encrypted through secure video servers, and sessions are never recorded by PreRounds.

Same-gender matching

Choose to study only with people of your own gender, in every room, pod, and group.

Report and block

Every room has a one-tap report and block. Anyone who breaks the community rules is removed.

You control your camera

Cameras are part of the room, but you choose when to sit down and when to check out.
