Medical School Admissions Coaches

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.

Welcome to my profile! With a rich background in both academia and professional practice, I bring a unique perspective to medical school admissions coaching. I hold a PhD in Experimental Surgery from McGill University, a Graduate Diploma in Business Administration from Concordia University, Master of Science in Health Policy and Management from Harvard University, a Masters of Public Health from Imperial College London, and a Medical degree from Ain Shams University, Cairo. I have been a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, equipping me with deep insights into the medical field and a technical officer for the WHO. As the founder and CEO of Qalam Health Solutions, I understand the importance of strategic planning and decision-making. Over the years, I've successfully coached 101 aspiring medical students, helping them navigate the complex admissions process and secure spots at top medical schools. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your strengths and potential. Reach out to start your journey towards medical school success!

Hello there! I'm Habib, a first-year medical student at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Having recently navigated the medical school admissions process myself, I was accepted to 11 programs, giving me very recent insights into what it takes to succeed. My experience as an MCAT tutor with Blueprint Test Prep has honed my ability to develop personalized study plans and strategies, which I now apply to help aspiring medical students. I've coached several individuals through school-list creation, essay refinement, and interview preparation, ensuring they present their best selves to admissions committees. If you're looking for guidance from someone who's been through the process recently, feel free to reach out!

Hey there! I’m currently a fourth-year medical student at Stanford, where my research focuses on psychiatry and neurology. Unlike many of my peers, my path to medicine was deeply shaped by the humanities. I graduated from Harvard, where I earned a rare joint concentration in neuroscience and philosophy. After college, I earned a master’s degree from Duke in bioethics, technology ethics, and science policy, and I furthered my neurophilosophy studies as a Fulbright scholar in Germany before starting medical school. I believe medical school admissions is about more than just getting accepted — it’s a rare opportunity for deep reflection and growth. When approached with purpose and intention, the process can shape how you move through the rest of your life and career. I bring a unique background to this work, drawing on years of experience supporting students during some of their most vulnerable moments — as a peer mental health counselor, a member of Harvard’s Honor Council, and a student representative on several faculty committees. I’ve developed a keen ability to understand each student’s journey and help them express it clearly, powerfully, and authentically. Choosing to work with me means more than partnering with a Harvard alum, Fulbright scholar, and Stanford medical student who has gone through this process personally — it means working with someone who has helped his own siblings through this exact process, a community member known as the go-to for college and graduate school advice, and a former admissions professional at Ardent Academy. I’d love to get to know you and help you achieve your dreams!

Despite not having a perfect transcript or resume of accolades, I was accepted to a medical school that boasts a <2% acceptance rate. I am driven to bolster the next generation of physicians and leaders in healthcare by helping fill the gaps in the application, interview, and school selection process.

I am an incoming medical student at Northwestern University, a top 15 US MD program and my dream medical school. During my application process, I interviewed at additional elite programs such as NYU and Cornell. Through tens of hours of admissions research and years of planning, I was able to develop a strategy that led to admissions success without taking any gap years. As someone with a passion for mentoring, I hope to guide other pre-medical students through building their strongest possible application that conveys their unique story, and ultimately gets them accepted into a dream program. Two applicants with the exact same experiences and metrics can craft wildly different applications and levels of admissions success. I will help ensure that your hard work, dedication, and strong fit to become a physician are highlighted to admissions committees, along with the attributes that make you stand out.
