Work Directly with an Ivy League Plastic Surgery Resident
I am an incoming integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery resident at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the most competitive specialties and training programs in medicine. I was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, scored a 263 on USMLE Step 2, and built a highly competitive application from a less nationally recognized medical school. I understand firsthand what it takes to stand out in a crowded applicant pool—not just through strong metrics, but through strategic positioning, narrative development, and deliberate planning. In addition to my academic performance, I have developed extensive expertise in writing and application strategy through my research experience. I have authored over 75 peer-reviewed publications, including first-author work in high-impact journals such as JAMA Surgery and JAMA Ophthalmology, and have presented nationally at major conferences. This level of writing experience allows me to help applicants craft compelling, polished personal statements and activity descriptions that effectively communicate their strengths and differentiate them from other candidates. I also bring a strong mentorship background, having worked closely with students on application strategy, research development, and narrative building. My approach is highly individualized and strategy-driven. I focus on helping applicants not only improve their materials, but understand how admissions committees think and what truly makes an application competitive. My goal is to help you present the strongest, most authentic version of yourself and maximize your chances of success.
