About Radhika
Hi there! I'm Radhika, a recently graduated medical student about to start my residency at Weill Cornell in NYC. I have experience with SAT/ACT tutoring, MCAT tutoring, and STEP1/STEP2, scoring 90th+ percentile on these board examinations. I have been involved in medical school admissions as an interviewer and applicant screener and have years of experience with medical school admission prep including general advising and personal statement and AMCAS application prep. Excited to connect and help you reach your medical aspirations!
Why do I coach?
As the first in my family to pursue medicine, there have been hurdles through the process, especially because there is often so much within the "hidden curriculum" that I was never aware of. I hope to increase transparency in this process and pass forward advice to the future generations of physicians!
