Welcome! I’m Mike, a physician and professional admissions coach here to help you navigate every stage of your 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 standardized test, and competing in one of the most selective application cycles on record. 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 clients 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 health careers, an undergraduate navigating pre-health, or a prospective/recent graduate preparing for your next cycle, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. If you’re already in a health program, I also offer coaching for exams, clinical rotations, and career planning. 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 the health profession together—I’d love to help you succeed!

I am so happy you are here, welcome to the next step to becoming a PA. As a practicing physician assistant and graduate of the University of Utah PA Program—the #3 ranked PA program in the country—I bring both firsthand experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the PA school admissions process.

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant and I want to help aspiring PAs navigate what can be a daunting application process. I graduated from PA school in December 2023, passed the PANCE in January 2024, and recently started my role as a primary care PA in California. After graduating in microbiology from Brigham Young University, I interviewed with many PA programs and chose to attend PA school at South College Atlanta. I was also on both the President’s list and Dean’s list multiple quarters throughout PA school. Prior to PA school I worked in a variety of clinical roles and settings, so I have a breadth of experience to draw on in assessing personal statements, activity summaries, and resumes.

With ten years of graduate admissions experience at Stanford University's School of Engineering and School of Education, I can give you an understanding of the application and review process, address your concerns, and answer your questions about graduate school applications. Since 2013, I have worked as a professional graduate admission consultant specializing in helping students navigate the process of applying to graduate programs in the United States, Canada, and the UK. I have traveled worldwide to meet prospective students and their families and understand the different cultural expectations around earning an advanced degree. I founded WISE Graduate Admissions Consulting to share my knowledge and experience with students worldwide. Not to "game the system" but to help applicants navigate the application process so they can present the most favorable, accurate, and compelling picture to committee members of what they have to offer their department. My consulting services will provide you with honest and personalized support as you prepare to apply to graduate school. In particular, I have deep expertise in the areas of engineering, the natural sciences, social sciences, and education. I do not screen out clients based on their academic records. In fact, I am skilled at working with clients who might not feel confident in their potential for graduate studies. Everyone has a unique story to tell, and I make it my mission to help you showcase your strengths ... even if you can't see them. One of my strengths is to show my clients what is possible and work with them to make their dreams a reality. I am passionate about educational empowerment for students interested in pursuing a graduate degree and helping students who want to play a role in the advancement of our society through graduate education.

This is a new category I am working in with clients at a steep discount from my regular hourly rate. Feel free to reach out, or stay tuned for updates here as I work through apps with my first couple of PA program clients!
