Jocelyn’s Medical School Qualifications
I'm a recent graduate of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and incoming Internal Medicine resident at Duke University. I scored a 523 on the MCAT, interviewed at multiple top medical schools, and have successfully navigated both the medical school and residency application processes. I work with students on MCAT preparation, school lists, personal statements, secondary essays, interview preparation, and residency applications. Having recently completed the ERAS cycle, I offer current, practical advice on program selection, interviewing, and rank list strategy. Prior to medical school, I studied Public Policy at Princeton University and decided to pursue medicine later in college. As a result, I have particular insight into the challenges faced by nontraditional applicants and those completing prerequisite coursework outside a traditional premed path. My goal is to help applicants build authentic, compelling applications while navigating the process with confidence.
