Hi! I’m Floriane, a dual-degree MD-MBA candidate at Stanford who has sat on the School of Medicine’s admissions committee as a full voting member (reading files, debating candidacies, and casting final votes). That insider vantage point, paired with five years of coaching experience, has helped more than a dozen applicants earn seats at Stanford, UCSF, UW (Seattle), UC Davis, and other selective programs. I draw on a broad toolkit: narrative-driven personal-statement editing, data-backed school list strategy, and high-fidelity MMI and traditional interview prep informed by my own faculty interviewer training. My background spans basic science research, the medical humanities, biotech entrepreneurship, and health-equity leadership, so I can translate almost any story into the language admissions committees love: authentic impact. You can expect a collaborative process, straightforward feedback, and practical next steps that bring out what makes your path to medicine uniquely compelling. Let's work together to make your medical school dreams a reality!

Having graduated from Harvard Medical School, I have been through the application process and learned what was needed to be successful.

My interactions have showed me the types of experiences that are beneficial to applicants and how to frame them when submitting an application for the highest chance of success.

Hello everyone! My name is Carlos and I am a first-year student at Harvard Medical School. I graduated from the College of William & Mary in 2023 with a B.S. Social Justice in Medicine. At William & Mary, I attending on a full-ride through the 1693 Scholarship. I also received a number of academic honors, including the Albert & Phyllis Pre-medical Award, Hulon Willis Memorial Scholarship, and the Lord Botetourt Medal (given to the most distinguished undergraduate in the class). I applied to 20 U.S. medical school and was offered interviews at 16. I ended up attending 12 interviews, and was accepted at 8 of the schools and waitlisted at the other 4. At Harvard, I am a part of the Dean's REACH Scholarship program where I receive almost full finding for my 4 years. I have some interest in pursuing cardiology or dermatology, but am still exploring my options as a first-year. I am happy to help others achieve their medical school goals by reviewing essays, providing application/interview advice, and providing MCAT advice!

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.

I have over 10 years of experience in coaching individuals on building their experiences and putting together successful applications for pre-medical programs, medical schools, and residencies. I do my best to meet people at their current state and develop thoughtful plans for how improve their applications and pursue the programs of their dreams. It is my pleasure to get to help you advance your medical career!
