Medical School Admissions Coaches, Events, & Resources

I am a medical student at the the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. I received a 522 on my MCAT and have a background in research, healthcare consulting, and startups (as Co-Founder and CEO of an orthopedic device company). I have a special interest in students with backgrounds in entrepeneurship, consulting, and research. I love to learn about what brought people to the medical field and help students illustrate why they are a great fit for each of their dream medical schools!

As a current MD-PhD candidate at Stanford University School of Medicine, I bring a deep understanding of the medical school admissions process and a passion for helping aspiring medical students achieve their dreams. With experience as a co-founder of SynaptoBoost and a rich research background at institutions like MIT and UAB, I offer a unique perspective on what top medical schools are looking for in candidates. I have successfully coached 21 individuals, guiding them through the complexities of applications, personal statements, and interviews. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier program or need help strengthening your application, I'm here to provide tailored support and insights. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that stands out!

Started medical school at Columbia straight out of Stanford undergrad, gained admission to Columbia Business School and completed the dual degree in 5 years. I have hosted "Applying to Med School" sessions for 200+ college and high school students. Experienced with non-traditional applicants, public/private scholarships, and crafting your 1-of-1 story.

Hi there—I'm so glad you're here. I remember what it felt like to face the med school admissions process with ambition, uncertainty, and a million questions. That’s why I coach. I’m here to help you cut through the noise and apply with clarity, confidence, and strategy. I'm a UCSF- and Hopkins-trained physician currently in ophthalmology residency, and I've been on both sides of the admissions table. I’ve interviewed at over 25 medical schools and residency programs nationwide and served on both admissions and scholarship selection committees—including as a former member of the UCSF Admissions Committee. I’ve worked with over 200 students as a Senior Medical School Admissions Consultant, helping applicants earn interviews and acceptances at some of the most competitive programs in the country. When we work together, you’ll get coaching that’s responsive, tailored to your story, and backed by real admissions experience. I’ll help you build a compelling application, prep for interviews with confidence, and use data and insight to target the right schools for your goals. Whether you're applying for the first time or giving it another shot, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s make your dream of becoming a physician a reality—together.

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.

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.

With extensive experience as a file reviewer for both Stanford Medical School and the Chicago Medical School, I have a deep understanding of what top-tier medical schools seek in their applicants.
