About Edwin
Hey everyone! I am a fourth-year medical student at the Duke University School of Medicine, currently applying for neurosurgical residency. Prior to coming to Duke, I studied neurobiology at Harvard College while also being a member of the varsity baseball team for four years. I was also accepted to 7/8 Ivy League undergraduate schools. Mentorship is one of my core passions. With my longitudinal track record of mentorship and knowledge of the medical school and undergraduate college admissions processes, I am sure that our partnership will get you where you want to be!
Why do I coach?
Mentorship is everything. I would not be where I am today without the countless hours that my mentors have given me. I would like to do the same for you and get you to where you want to be.
