Comprehensive knowledge of all components of the medical school admission process, from the primary application to secondaries to interviews to letters of intent, equips me to guide you. I have read and refined thousands of essays and conducted hundreds of mock interviews to help students reach their goals.

Extensive experience advising applicants through each step of the medical school application process has given me insight. I will help you thoughtfully devise the best medical school application possible, while assessing your strengths and weaknesses as an applicant.

I devote my undivided attention to helping you craft the best application. I take on a small number of clients to maximize your results. I am dedicated to your success and want to help you get into medical school.

I teach you how to assess and highlight what makes you a distinctive medical school applicant.
