Congratulations on your decision to pursue a career in medicine. You are entering a noble profession that benefits society, and you have embarked on an exciting, intellectually stimulating, and worthwhile journey.

With more than 25 years of experience advising and coaching medical school applicants, I understand the hard work involved in preparing for a career in medicine and crafting a topnotch medical school application. If you are poised to apply to medical school you are excited by what lies ahead but perhaps daunted by the application process. Most of all, you are eager to get into medical school and I want to help you reach your goal.

I have guided and advised thousands of medical school applicants through each step of the process, helping them to achieve outstanding results. Having amassed a wealth of knowledge, I want to share it with you and help you gain admission to medical school. I offer comprehensive medical school admissions consulting services.

With my extensive experience and vast knowledge of the medical school application process and individual medical schools, I am uniquely qualified to help you achieve the results you want. Having observed admissions committee meetings at an array of medical schools, I know what schools value in applicants. I invite you to look over the medical school admissions consulting services I provide and contact me for more information or to discuss your situation. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
