Medical School Admissions

Accepted to every medical school I applied to (over 30 programs including Harvard, Stanford, John Hopkins, Upenn, UCSF, Yale, and more). Experience with interviews, personal statements, activities section in AAMCAS.

Over the past three years, I have edited and coached over 100 student AMCAS applications, including their personal statements, activities documents, and secondary applications. My clients have all been accepted into their desired schools with MCAT scores ranging from 494-520+. This is why regardless of where your statistics lie, I strongly believe that a compelling and clear written representation of who you are is a critical first impression that you need to succeed.

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.

I bring over 14 years of experience in premedical advising, helping students navigate every stage of the medical school admissions process, from building a competitive academic and extracurricular profile to submitting a strong, compelling application. As Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Academics and Global Engagement at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and Chair of the Prehealth Committee, I have extensive experience advising aspiring physicians, evaluating applicants' qualifications, and writing committee letters of recommendation. My work has included supporting students at NYU and consulting for CUNY Hunter College, giving me experience working with applicants from a wide range of academic backgrounds and career interests. For the past six years, I have also taught a formal course dedicated to the medical school application process, guiding students through AMCAS, personal statements, secondary applications, school selection, and interview preparation. Having worked closely with students throughout their premedical journeys, I understand both the challenges of preparing a competitive application and the importance of telling an authentic, cohesive story. My coaching approach combines personalized guidance, practical admissions strategies, and years of experience helping students identify their strengths and confidently present themselves as future physicians.

I am a dual-degree MD/MBA student at a T5 Ivy League Medical school and Ivy League M7 business school, and I understand firsthand the complexity of applying to medical school, and to combined programs, while trying to build a compelling, mission-driven narrative. I have experience navigating the application process, refining personal statements and secondary essays, and aligning academic, research, and leadership experiences into a cohesive story that resonates with admissions committees. My training in both medicine and business also gives me a strong perspective on what MD/MBA programs look for: intellectual curiosity, leadership potential, systems thinking, and a clear vision for impact in healthcare. Beyond my own journey, I have worked extensively on research, healthcare innovation projects, and leadership initiatives that required communicating complex ideas clearly and persuasively, skills directly transferable to crafting strong applications. I coach students on how to articulate their motivations for medicine, demonstrate impact through their experiences, and position themselves effectively for MD and MD/MBA programs. My approach focuses on clarity, authenticity, and strategy, helping applicants present not just what they’ve done, but who they are and the kind of physician-leader they aim to become.
