Lauren’s College Qualifications
Hi! So nice to meet you. I bring a unique perspective to admissions coaching and crafting applications, having attended Harvard for my undergrad and now attending Oxford for 2 Masters degrees in public policy and pharmacology. I’m also a US Rhodes Scholar from Chicago, IL so am happy to chat about post-college fellowship life and application strategy as well. After my time at Oxford, I’ll be attending medical school so can help you with MCAT prep and medical school essays/interviews too! Happy to be flexible with you. Extracurricularly, as a co-founder of Project Cascade and a Board Director at Raise Uganda Now, I have honed my skills in leadership and mentorship, which I apply to help students navigate the complex application process to college, medical school, or competitive fellowships. My experience as a researcher at the Broad Institute and a guest lecturer in infectious disease modeling further enriches my ability to guide students in crafting compelling narratives that highlight their unique strengths and aspirations. Having been a college consultant, MCAT tutor, and chemistry teaching assistant for years now, I am passionate about helping you achieve your academic/professional dreams. So excited to work with you!
