Advertising and affiliate disclosure
In plain terms: how this site earns money, and the line we hold between paid content and the editorial dataset.
Advertising disclosure
Med School Index is reader-supported. Some outbound links to test-prep and admissions- consulting services are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never determine which schools appear in this directory, their ordering, or how their data is presented. Editorial data and paid content are kept strictly separate. See our full disclosure.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links to MCAT prep, admissions consulting, and study materials are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These providers are listed alphabetically as information, never as a ranking or a “best” endorsement.
Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases on prep-book links in our guides.
Sponsored placements
We may offer clearly labeled sponsor placements. Any such placement is marked “Sponsored · Paid placement,” is visually and structurally separate from the directory data, and is never presented as a ranking, recommendation, or “best” claim. A sponsorship never changes a school's data or its position in the directory.
Student loans
Any student-loan or refinance links are information about regulated financial products, clearly labeled, and are not financial advice or an endorsement.
The firewall
Editorial data (accreditation, cost, location, type) and paid content are kept strictly separate. No advertiser, affiliate, or sponsor can buy inclusion, ordering, or favorable description in the directory. Inclusion is based solely on being a US medical school.
