Abu has helped clients get into these schools:
Applied to three top medical schools, got into all of them, and chose Stanford Medicine on a full financial package. Applied to one business school, Stanford GSB, and got in. I was also selected as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. I wrote every part of my applications independently, with no external reviewers or help. Over the last five years, I’ve helped dozens of people get into top med schools, MBA programs, and win prestigious scholarships. I’ve worked closely with Stanford Medicine admissions in the past. While I’m not currently involved, have no say in admissions outcomes, and cannot guarantee acceptance, I can offer helpful behind-the-scenes insight. My goal is to help you and your story shine. I specialize in crafting compelling applications, telling powerful stories, guiding your recommenders to write standout letters, and building a clear strategy that makes your profile stand out. I’ve also won multiple grants, scholarships, and fellowships, and can help you navigate that process too. If you’re applying to med school, business school, or a major scholarship, I’d love 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
