Hi there! My name is Tristan. I was fortunate to be accepted to 17 of the top 20 medical schools in the U.S., including Harvard, Hopkins, Stanford, and NYU. As someone who recently navigated the medical school application process, I know exactly what you're up against—and how confusing and high-stakes it can feel. Through my own journey, alongside conversations with applicants, current medical students, faculty, and admissions staff, I've learned about how admissions decisions get made, what differentiates applicants who look similar on paper, and what you can do to maximize your odds. I specialize in helping applicants build applications that are cohesive, strategic, and deeply authentic. An application where every piece (personal statement, activities, secondaries, and interviews) reinforces a clear, compelling narrative about who you are and why medicine is the right path for you. Most applicants undersell themselves or present a fragmented story; I help you identify what truly sets you apart and make that impossible to miss. Beyond writing, I offer end-to-end guidance: school-specific strategies, activity framing, interview preparation, and real-time feedback grounded in what top programs are actually looking for. If you’re aiming high and want a coach who will be honest, strategic, and fully invested in your success, please reach out—I’d love to work with you!! :)
