Medical School Admissions Consultant(Columbia/T15 Med School Graduate)

I'm an anesthesiology resident at Columbia/NewYork-Presbyterian and a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine graduate, with more than six years of advising experience and 200+ hours of paid consulting across medical school and residency admissions. Students I've advised have earned acceptances to Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Yale, UCSF, NYU, and other competitive programs. I bring experience from both sides of the interview: I received 21 medical school interview invitations during my own application cycle and later served as a medical school student interviewer at Pitt. During my residency application cycle, I received 18 anesthesiology interview invitations, including 10 at Top 20 programs. As a former Kaplan MCAT Instructor, residency admissions mentor through the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and recipient of Pitt School of Medicine's 2024 Mentorship Award, I combine teaching experience with a commitment to thoughtful, individualized guidance. I help medical school and residency applicants identify the experiences that make their story distinctive, develop a cohesive application narrative, refine personal statements in their own voice, and prepare through mock interviews with clear, specific feedback. Whether you're shaping your first medical school application or preparing for residency interviews, we'll focus on presenting your experiences, motivations, and readiness for the next stage of medical training with clarity and confidence.
