What Jack Westin does

Jack Westin is a privately held, founder-owned online education company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, focused on MCAT preparation and medical school admissions support. The company operates a direct-to-consumer platform serving pre-med students, MCAT retakers, and medical school applicants, with an additional B2B motion through institutional partnerships with universities and student organizations. Its technology stack centers on a web-based learning platform that includes a 6,000+ question QBank, 450+ course videos, an adaptive study schedule, full-length practice exams, flashcards (including community decks like MileDown's MCAT Anki), Khan Academy passages, and seven interactive MCAT textbooks. A distinctive technical component is the AAMC MCAT Chrome Extension, which overlays video solutions onto the official AAMC practice materials in the browser sidebar — an integration with the de facto standard MCAT prep source.
