About Shreyas

Hi! I’m a medical student at Harvard, but I didn’t take the usual road to get here. I studied public policy and statistics at Duke, then went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar for a master’s in sociology. From there I worked in state and federal government on healthcare and disability policy, including Arizona Medicaid. Somewhere along the way I realized I didn’t just want to shape the systems that care for people, I wanted to be in the room caring for them too. So I applied to medical school. Because of that, I know exactly what it’s like to explain a winding path to an admissions committee, and I genuinely love helping others do the same. Before joining Leland, I mentored more than a dozen aspiring med students, several of whom were admitted to schools like Penn, Harvard, Hopkins, and Stanford. Whether you’re coming straight from college or pivoting from another career, I’ll help you figure out the story that ties your experiences together and tell it in a way that feels like you. My style is warm but honest. I’ll give you specific, direct feedback, not vague encouragement, and I’ll be in your corner from your first brainstorm to your final interview. Reach out and let’s talk about your path. I’d love to hear your story.
