Despite not having a perfect transcript or resume of accolades, I was accepted to a medical school that boasts a <2% acceptance rate. I am driven to bolster the next generation of physicians and leaders in healthcare by helping fill the gaps in the application, interview, and school selection process.

Started medical school at Columbia straight out of Stanford undergrad, gained admission to Columbia Business School and completed the dual degree in 5 years. I have hosted "Applying to Med School" sessions for 200+ college and high school students. Experienced with non-traditional applicants, public/private scholarships, and crafting your 1-of-1 story.

Over the last four years, I have coached hundreds of pre-med students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for medical school applications. I work with applicants from personal statement ideation all the way through decision making and I can't wait to do the same with you. Whether you're applying for the first time or reapplying and need a fresh take on your application, I'm confident that my coaching experience will be an asset to you. My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the admissions committee. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!

Having graduated from Harvard Medical School, I have been through the application process and learned what was needed to be successful. I have a comprehensive understanding of what medical schools and looking for and can be of assistance to help students stand out. My interactions have showed me the types of experiences that are beneficial to applicants and how to frame them when submitting an application for the highest chance of success.

I am a qualified medical school coach because I had great success in my medical school application cycle, interviewing with 5 top-30 medical schools and selecting a top-5 medical school to attend. I applied and was accepted to medical school as an undergraduate student and matriculated straight from undergrad to medical school at 21 years old. This feat required me to master the necessary study strategies and time management, networking, standardized test-taking, and writing skills to produce an impressive application. One of my mentees was accepted into a top 5 medical school this cycle, and two others are preparing to apply in the next cycle.

Welcome to my profile! As a recent matriculant of the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, the application process is fresh in my mind and I am here to help! Just last year, I received interview invitations from more than 18 elite medical and graduate programs and acceptances from the likes of Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and more. For most institutions, MD-PhD applicants are evaluated separately by the medical and graduate school, meaning that despite my specialized track I have ample credentials to help both medical and graduate students as they undergo this rigorous process. As a first generation college student, I have also worked especially closely with my Alma matar’s Ivy League career services department, providing me with additional professional knowledge that I can share with you! I have also serviced as an interviewer both for the University of Pennsylvania undergraduate early and regular decision cycle and Perelman School of Medicine’s applicants. I currently conduct volunteer career services counseling for first generation low income students at Penn interested pursuing medicine and biomedical research. I mentor students at all stages from sophomore to gap year. My most recent class of mentees have received interviews at Harvard, Yale, Washington University in Saint Louis, Emory, and more. Whether you're a top student aiming for a competitive program or a second-time applicant with below-average GPAs and MCATs, I have the expertise to guide you through the evolving medical school admissions landscape. From personal statements and secondaries to letters of recommendation and school lists, I provide comprehensive coaching tailored to your unique strengths and goals. Let's work together to create a compelling application package that showcases an authentic picture of who you are and maximizes your chances of success. Reach out to me today and let's get started!

I went through the arduous process of preparing primary and secondary applications for medical school, along with all of the accompanying essays. I ended up with a high number of interviews and acceptances. While deciding which program to join, I was able to further explore the strengths and weaknesses of my application with admissions committee members at a number of schools to understand what was appealing to them. I now sit as an executive member of the UCLA Medical School Council and Committee, which is involved in major medical school decision processes including admissions. Over the years of coaching applicants through this long process, I've observed what works and what doesn't, both on paper and off.

I have gotten to where I am with the help of many mentors along the way and I am all for paying it forward! I started tutoring elementary school kids when I was in middle school and since then have always had a passion for helping others on their educational path. I continued to tutor in high school and college, and went on to become a teaching assistant in medical school. Since getting into medical school, I have coached many other students into acceptances at Stanford, Columbia, UCSF, Michigan, Emory and other medical schools. Some of my coaching tactics come from having been trained to become an interviewer at Stanford Medical School, other come from having helped to proofread many application essays along the years. As a prior rowing coach, I am very invested in the success of those I train. I am very excited to get to know your story and help you share it with others in a way that makes you shine!

Founder of highly successful Pre-Med Prep, a med school admissions service designed to helped Pre-Meds get into medical school. I am a Physician in Neurology in a top program in the US. For years I have helped students achieve their dreams in getting into medical school and now I have joined Leland to continue helping students achieve their dreams of becoming doctors. I am here to help you create the best possible application to medical school, residency, or fellowship. As a physician myself, not only have I gone through the process of applying to medical school and Residency but have been on an admissions committee in the past where i received key insights directly into the admission process. Over the last 6 years, I have helped over 400 students gain admission into medical school, guiding them through the personal statement, secondaries, interviews, scholarships and beyond. I have worked with students from all walks of life including IMGs, non-traditional applicants, MD programs, and DO programs. Through working with me, we will go beyond simply editing the personal statement or writing the work and activities section. I will help you showcase the best version of yourself to maximize your chances in gaining acceptance to medical school.

I am currently a student at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana/Champaign, Illinois. I spent one-year on the admissions committee at my school. As part of that experience, I reviewed dozens of applications and I heard directly from the director of admissions what they were looking for in applicants. I know how to write a stand-out personal statement because I wrote them myself, I read plenty of them that caught my attention, and I know which ones were easy to forget. Let me help you get into the school of your dreams!
