Over the past three years, I have edited and coached over 100 student AMCAS applications, including their personal statements, activities documents, and secondary applications. My clients have all been accepted into their desired schools with MCAT scores ranging from 494-520+. This is why regardless of where your statistics lie, I strongly believe that a compelling and clear written representation of who you are is a critical first impression that you need to succeed.

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!
