Founder of highly successful Pre-Med Prep, a med school admissions service designed to helped Pre-Meds get into medical school. I am a Physician in Neurology in a top program in the US. For years I have helped students achieve their dreams in getting into medical school and now I have joined Leland to continue helping students achieve their dreams of becoming doctors. I am here to help you create the best possible application to medical school, residency, or fellowship. As a physician myself, not only have I gone through the process of applying to medical school and Residency but have been on an admissions committee in the past where i received key insights directly into the admission process. Over the last 6 years, I have helped over 400 students gain admission into medical school, guiding them through the personal statement, secondaries, interviews, scholarships and beyond. I have worked with students from all walks of life including IMGs, non-traditional applicants, MD programs, and DO programs. Through working with me, we will go beyond simply editing the personal statement or writing the work and activities section. I will help you showcase the best version of yourself to maximize your chances in gaining acceptance to medical school.

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.

As an undergraduate at Case Western Reserve University, I developed numerous initiatives oriented towards getting students into research positions, graduate school, and medical school. After founding the CWRU Undergraduate Research Society, I worked in a team to develop a Mentor-Mentee Program which to-date has over 100 pairings. Over my time as a mentor, I have watched numerous mentees be accepted into an extensive list of medical schools as well as prestigious national and international fellowships (Barry Goldwater, NIH Oxford-Cambridge, and Gates-Cambridge Scholarships). While at the University of Cambridge, I have reviewed and edited over 20 personal statements for medical school applicants. Living abroad has given me robust perspective as to the uniqueness of U.S. medical school applications, allowing me to identify specific targets and application aspects for applicants to highlight. As a whole, my experiences have profoundly strengthened my ability to mentor pre-medical students and optimize their medical school applications.

It is a daunting task to look at what it takes to be a strong applicant for medical school and residency but there truly is power in the mindset to work smarter and not harder. I have found that time is often our most limited resource and through my undergraduate studies, medical school, and in residency I have learned many crucial techniques to maximize output and efficiency. Understanding these techniques allows you to truly focus on what is important. For me, this was becoming as strong of an applicant as possible to become an orthopedic surgeon specialized in sports injuries. I try to share the lessons I've learned with students as often as I can. I have given lectures for pre-medical courses at multiple universities and created a program with a regional orthopedic society to help place students with mentors in their desired specialty for guidance and research opportunities. I am passionate about thinking outside of the box to help create opportunities for growth and development. I have helped with admissions at both the medical school and residency level and know what makes an applicant truly stand out. I am currently living my dream as an orthopedic surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic and I 100% know I would not be here without my mentors. I hope to be an asset in your corner to help you focus on and achieve your goals.

I am currently a student at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana/Champaign, Illinois. I spent one-year on the admissions committee at my school. As part of that experience, I reviewed dozens of applications and I heard directly from the director of admissions what they were looking for in applicants. I know how to write a stand-out personal statement because I wrote them myself and I read plenty of them that caught my attention while also reading plenty of them that were easy to forget. I've also counseled many pre-medical students on what they could do to improve their chances of getting in. I'm confident that I can help you get to where you want to be!

I have 5 years of experience coaching aspiring medical school students, 2 of which have been spent at a highly reputable consulting agency.

I am a qualified medical school coach because I had great success in my medical school application cycle, interviewing with 5 top-30 medical schools and selecting a top-5 medical school to attend. I applied and was accepted to medical school as an undergraduate student and matriculated straight from undergrad to medical school at 21 years old. This feat required me to master the necessary study strategies and time management, networking, standardized test-taking, and writing skills to produce an impressive application. One of my mentees was accepted into a top 5 medical school this cycle, and two others are preparing to apply in the next cycle.

I went through the arduous process of preparing primary and secondary applications for medical school, along with all of the accompanying essays. I ended up with a high number of interviews and acceptances. While deciding which program to join, I was able to further explore the strengths and weaknesses of my application with admissions committee members at a number of schools to understand what was appealing to them. I now sit as an executive member of the UCLA Medical School Council and Committee, which is involved in major medical school decision processes including admissions. Over the years of coaching applicants through this long process, I've observed what works and what doesn't, both on paper and off.

I was trained as the essay editor on BYU campus responsible for all students preparing to apply to medical school, dental school, PA school, and other graduate level programs (primarily focused on health professions). While working with the specialists at the school's pre-professional advisement center, I became closely familiar with the medical school application process from the point of view of an admissions board. I've worked with over fifty students through one-on-one coaching sessions to prepare the written portions of their applications.
