William’s Medical School Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Hi there! My name is Will, and I applied for MD medical school in the 2025-26 application cycle. I applied to 36 MD programs in total, receiving a total of 20 interviews from top schools including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Yale, WashU, Cornell, and more. I entered the cycle with a 524 MCAT and a 4.00 GPA from Washington University in St. Louis, having learned how to interpret passages and content with a structured approach that yielded consistent results. This approach involves learning from the bottom up, ensuring that the underlying concepts are understood rather than memorized, in order to successfully understand more difficult concepts. Additionally, I received a 9 on the AAMC PREview exam, and scored in the top quartile for the Casper exam. In the application process, I help students highlight unique parts of their background and experiences that tie into why they ultimately strive to become a physician. I believe that the way the applicant presents themself and conveys their experiences meaningfully is the key to securing an interview and ultimate acceptance at a school, while also figuring out how they may fit a school's missions. My goal is to help applicants choose which experiences align the most with their mission and show medical schools that they are ideal candidates. If you are an individual who needs assistance building a concrete study plan for the MCAT, a prospective applicant looking to enhance their application materials and interviews, or an individual new to the pre-medical journey seeking guidance on how to continue, I am eager to help no matter what stage of the process you are at.
