Medical School Admissions Coaches

Welcome! I’m Mike, a physician and professional admissions coach here to help you navigate every stage of the medical journey. I know firsthand how daunting the process can be, but you don’t have to go it alone. Successfully applying during the COVID-19 pandemic meant adapting to rapidly changing admissions requirements, excelling on a new MCAT, and competing in the most selective application cycle on record—beating out 15,000 other applicants for a seat at my institution. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling application, but also how to pivot under pressure—a key skill I instill in my students as they navigate their own challenges. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes an applicant stand out—not just on paper, but in the minds of admissions committees. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a high school student exploring medicine, an undergraduate navigating pre-med, or a prospective/recent graduate preparing for this cycle, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. If you’re already in medical school, I also offer coaching for STEP 1 & 2 exams, medical content, clinical rotations, specialty selection, and residency applications. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to progress while maintaining wellness amidst academic stress. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your path to medicine together—I’d love to help you succeed!

I am a physician-scientist in training, and I have completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge where I was a Gates Cambridge Scholar, and I am currently pursuing my MD training at Stanford University where I am a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. I am also a Research Fellow at Caius College in Cambridge, which is one of the most prestigious independent research positions. I have over 9 years of experience in academic institutions and have been admitted to several top medical schools including Stanford, Harvard and Yale. I have experience crafting individualised personal statements for some of the world's top scholarships, including Gates Cambridge, Knight-Hennessy and Barry M. Goldwater scholarships. I also have extensive experience in writing and have published multiple sole, first-authored manuscripts in the journal Nature and have won multiple research grants from the NSF and NIH. I have mentored and worked with aspiring medical and graduate school applicants in the US and the UK and have unique insights into the admission process at top universities.

I’m a third-year MD/MSCI student at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I graduated from Brown University in 2021 with a degree in neuroscience and spent the following two years conducting clinical and translational research at the National Institutes of Health. During that time, I also developed a strong passion for mentorship through my work with College Bound, a nonprofit that supports underserved high school students navigating the college admissions process. As a medical school applicant, I was fortunate to be admitted to several top-ten programs. I converted nine of eleven interviews into acceptances and successfully negotiated substantial scholarships from multiple schools, including NYU's full cost-of-attendance Silverstein Scholarship. I credit this success to strategic self-presentation, clear and persuasive communication, and a polished application. Now, as a current medical student and interviewer for the Grossman admissions committee, I’m excited to share the insights I’ve gained with aspiring physicians. If you're navigating the application process, I’d be happy to discuss how I can support your journey.

With over 20 years in medical education, I am a passionate coach and mentor to those seeking admission to medical school, as well as to medical students applying for residency programs. Having served as an MMI Interviewer I have a strong understanding of the qualities and traits that admissions committees are seeking. Working closely with medical students from first to fourth year, I have coached and mentored dozens of medical students as they navigate the residency application and interview process. I am particularly drawn to learners who are first generation college students and/or come from socio-economically challenged backgrounds. I believe medicine needs learners who reflect the patient populations they will serve and who bring intelligence, compassion, and a strong work ethic. It is my mission to help those learners achieve their goals.
