My name is Manjima, and I'm a current MD-PhD student at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Before UNC, I was a biomedical engineering and neuroscience student at the University of Southern California, and a master's student at the University of Oxford. My path to medical school was definitely not a straight line, and it took me a lot of time to recognize and accept that this was my dream. There were a thousand moments during this journey where I worried that my GPA was too low, or my clinical experiences not impactful enough, or research not high-profile enough for me to get to where I wanted to be. But, I knew that if I could craft a compelling narrative around my experiences and background, and communicate this story authentically to admissions committees, that I'd have a shot at success. And eventually that paid off! My first cycle applying to medical school, I received 11+ interviews to a combination of MD, MD/PhD, and MSTP programs. I personally relied heavily on coaches and mentors to get me through my admissions process. As a non-traditional applicant, I did not have the support of pre-professional advising through universities. And many other "advisors" were quick to dismiss me based on what they saw as my perceived weaknesses. But I was lucky enough to find coaches and mentors who spent many hours working with me to craft my story, swamping through drafts and re-drafts of hundreds of essays, helping me with mock interviews, refining my elevator pitch, and listening to my research talks. Without their support, I would not be where I am today, and I hope to pay that forward to future generations of students.

As someone who is first generation, both as an immigrant and a college student, I know firsthand the challenge of applying to higher education. I remember feeling adrift during the process, unsure of how to best structure my applications and highlight my strengths. I successfully taught myself how to navigate these systems. Additionally, I went on to become a student member of my medical school's admissions committee; I saw first-hand what made an applicant stand out and what were considered potential red flags. This experience, combined with my self-taught knowledge as a first-gen student, means I am best qualified to help you on your journey through higher education.

I’m an incoming medical student at the Perelman School of Medicine (UPenn) and a QuestBridge Match recipient with a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in Health Studies from Haverford College. I’ve spent the past 3+ years as a writing and biology tutor, working closely with students to strengthen their scientific understanding, refine their writing, and develop compelling, authentic personal statements. Through two summers in the Penn Access Summer Scholars (PASS) program at PSOM, I gained early clinical and research exposure in an academic medical setting, including genetics-focused projects, patient education work, and participation in journal clubs. I’ve also held leadership roles as President of the Muslim Student Association and co-president of QuestBridge at Haverford, where I mentored students navigating academic and pre-med pathways. I bring a structured but personal approach to coaching, helping students clarify their stories, strengthen their writing, and present themselves confidently and strategically in medical school applications.

I know firsthand what it takes to build an application that stands out while remaining authentic to your interests. As an environmental studies major and Spanish minor at Dartmouth College, I pursued the subjects and extracurriculars I was genuinely passionate about en route to medical school. Despite an academic focus that largely deviated from the traditional pre-medical mold, I was able to curate an application with broad appeal, earning medical school interview invitations to 16 schools, including many of the nation's most selective programs. And with targeted interview preparation where I embraced rather than downplayed these experiences, I was accepted to more than half of the programs where I interviewed. Through my own application, I gained firsthand insight into what resonates across different admissions committees. Now, as a psychiatry resident at Massachusetts General Hospital / McLean Hospital, I learn not just medicine, but how to best listen to and understand a patient's story. I bring this same skillset to medical school admissions mentorship, working with you along every stage of the process, from personal statement development to targeted interview preparation, to help you craft an application that is both highly competitive and authentic.
