Medical School Admissions Coaches, Events, & Resources

As a student physician currently pursuing my MD at Harvard Medical School on a full scholarship, I bring a wealth of academic excellence and practical experience to my role as a Medical School and Adnissions coach. With a Summa Cum Laude graduation from Sewanee: University of the South, where I studied Biochemistry and Neuroscience, I've consistently demonstrated my commitment to academic excellence. My dedication to medical education extends to my time at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I earned competitive scholarships while completing a Certificate in Business Management. I've honed my skills as a Clinical Research Coordinator at the Atlanta Center for Medical Research, managing multiple clinical trials with precision. Additionally, as a co-founder of the Elpis Mental Health and Research Initiative, I've actively worked to combat mental health stigma through innovative approaches in Nigeria. Currently engaged in cutting-edge research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, I focus on clinical outcomes in spine and orthopedic surgery. My dedication to advancing medical knowledge is underscored by my extensive publication record, with three articles featured in highly-ranked journals. Beyond academia and research, I'm passionate about mentoring future medical professionals. I share my expertise through a successful YouTube channel where I guide international students interested in pursuing medical education in the United States. My journey is defined by an unwavering commitment to excellence, an innovative mindset, and a passion for addressing healthcare challenges. I'm dedicated to helping aspiring medical students navigate their path to success

I’ve worked with dozens of students applying to medical school and spent two years working with MD admissions. I’ve also served as a medical school interviewer. While I’m no longer affiliated and have no say in admissions decisions, I bring valuable insight into how the process works — with no conflict of interest. I was admitted to the three medical schools (all top programs) I applied to, with full financial support, and completed all my applications independently without external help. I can help you think through your story, select and frame impactful experiences, and craft an application that is personal, strategic, and compelling. I also guide students in supporting their recommenders to write strong letters and in building a narrative that holds together across all parts of the application. Whether you're just starting out or polishing your secondaries, I’m here to help you succeed.

I am a senior undergraduate student at Duke University who recently completed the medical school application process, receiving 15 interviews and planning to matriculate at Vanderbilt School of Medicine. Many of my interviewers specifically highlighted my personal statement in their compliments, and asked in depth about my secondaries. As someone without any significant X factors or super high stats, I strongly believe that my essays played a significant role in having a successful application cycle. I work closely with students to develop a compelling personal narrative that not only highlights their strengths and experiences but also feels genuine to who they are. My goal is not to impose a formula, but to help you identify the themes that naturally emerge from your journey and refine them into writing that is cohesive and memorable. In addition to my application experience, I have served as a college admissions mentor for high school students and as a biology tutor throughout college. These roles have strengthened my ability to build meaningful one-on-one relationships, tailor my guidance to individual needs, and support students as they grow in confidence and self-awareness. I also bring a strong foundation in narrative medicine. In addition to taking multiple creative writing and narrative medicine classes, as well as helping launch a Humanities in Medicine club, I have read extensively in this field and curated a collection of impactful works that explore storytelling in healthcare, offering you new ways to frame your story with depth and nuance. Having applied to nearly 50 medical schools, I am also familiar with a wide range of secondary prompts and institutional priorities. I can provide targeted guidance on how to approach different types of essays and strategically align your narrative with each school’s mission and values, while still maintaining authenticity.

Having recently gone through the medical school application process, I am excited to mentor premedical students as they prepare their own applications. I was fortunate to receive over 15 acceptances at top programs—including Harvard, Penn, Columbia, Duke, Yale, and Vanderbilt—along with full-ride scholarship offers. I aim to translate these experiences into actionable, individualized advice for future applicants.

Hello, my name is Paul, and I am a fourth-year medical student at California University of Science and Medicine. My path to medical school was anything but perfect. I had a low GPA, struggled with the MCAT, and even failed a class during undergrad. More than once, I was told by advisors to consider a different career and to let go of the dream. I didn’t. Instead, I learned how to rebuild my application, tell my story honestly, and turn setbacks into strengths. That journey led to multiple medical school acceptances. If you feel stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward as a premed, you are not alone. If you are questioning whether medical school is still possible for you, I have been exactly where you are. I now coach premed students who feel overlooked or underestimated and help them create a clear, realistic admissions plan that fits their situation. If my story resonates with you, I would love to help you turn doubt into direction and get you one step closer to becoming a medical student.
