Ram’s Medical School Qualifications
100+ people coached for Medical School
I am a physician-scientist in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. I have 10+ years of experience in medical school admissions. As a medical student at the University of Michigan, I served as an Admissions Committee member and reviewed/interviewed applicants. I am now an Admission Committee member at a top medical school. I have coached over a 100 medical school applicants. While I work with clients from all backgrounds, I am especially motivated to work with reapplicants and nontraditional students. I look forward to working with you to define the right plan to help you achieve your dreams!
