Abu’s Medical School Qualifications
10+ people coached for Medical School
Abu has helped clients get into these schools:
I’ve worked with dozens of students applying to medical school and spent two years working with MD admissions. I’ve also served as a medical school interviewer. While I’m no longer affiliated and have no say in admissions decisions, I bring valuable insight into how the process works — with no conflict of interest. I was admitted to the three medical schools (all top programs) I applied to, with full financial support, and completed all my applications independently without external help. I can help you think through your story, select and frame impactful experiences, and craft an application that is personal, strategic, and compelling. I also guide students in supporting their recommenders to write strong letters and in building a narrative that holds together across all parts of the application. Whether you're just starting out or polishing your secondaries, I’m here to help you succeed.

About Abu
I’m originally from Sierra Leone and moved to the U.S. for school. As a first-generation college student in the U.S. and an international F-1 student, I had to navigate the admissions process with limited guidance and a lot of obstacles. From understanding how to stand out as a state school student to overcoming the unique challenges of applying to U.S. medical schools as a non-citizen, I learned how to turn my story into a strength. I love teaching and mentoring. It’s one of my strongest skills and greatest passions. We can talk about your life story, your career goals, your “why,” or anything else you’re working through. I’ve worked across a range of fields and pursued a wide variety of opportunities, so I’m excited to meet you wherever you are and help you take the next step forward.
Why do I coach?
I’ve had incredible mentors, both formally and informally, who made a huge difference in my life. But there were still so many things I had to figure out alone. I coach because you shouldn’t have to. I genuinely enjoy helping people see their own potential, get unstuck, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I
