Medical School Admissions Coaches

Hi everyone! My name is Kavya, and I am from sunny Orlando, Florida. When I applied to medical school, I was fortunate to receive interview invites from all but one of the schools I applied to, and received acceptances to several top schools, including Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Columbia, and Yale. I know how long and stressful applying to medical school can be, so whatever stage you are at in the process, remember to be kind to yourself and be proud of how far you have come! In college and during my gap years, I spent my time doing neurodegenerative disease and public health research, as well as advocacy work with a free health screening organization. I'm more than happy to help with any essay editing, scholarship application advice, school list strategy, and beyond. I always strive to be thorough and quick with my edits, and help my students' voices shine. So excited to work with you!

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!

This gives me a deep appreciation for the unique journeys of each aspiring physician I coach. From excelling on the MCAT to securing prestigious research positions and crafting compelling personal statements, I bring a wealth of experience and a personal touch to each session. My mission is to inspire, guide, and empower students to achieve their medical dreams by making their strengths shine and turning challenges into opportunities.

As a recent matriculate to medical school, the application process is still very fresh in mind. Having applied to schools in both the US and Canada, with several interviews and acceptances at top 15 schools, I bring an insider's perspective that will help you stand out at the most competitive schools in North America. I consider my application to be fairly unique, in that my extracurriculars weren't necessarily the "traditional" pre-med activities. Often times, this is what worries people - "I don't know if med schools will care that I did X." Low and behold, that uniqueness may just be what catches and admissions officer's attention and leads to an interview invitation. This is just a small example of how expert guidance can help you leverage your strengths and pique the interest of the admissions committees at schools across the country. With individualized support through every step of the process, from school selection and essay planning all the way through interview prep and offer acceptance, I hope to help you land an acceptance to your top choice of schools and officially launch your career in medicine.
