"Hi! My name is Ru, and I am a 3rd-year medical student at a T30 U.S. MD school. As a 1st-gen medical student, I know how overwhelming this path can feel without guidance. I am grateful to the mentors who supported me, and am excited to pay it forward by helping aspiring medical students navigate their own journey. Whether you're a 1st-year undergrad or currently applying to med school, I am here to support you.

I graduated from WashU with degrees in Anthropology and Healthcare Management. To avoid a gap year, I completed both majors and all pre-med requirements in 4 years. It wasn’t easy, but it taught me how to work efficiently! At WashU, I served as a peer advisor through the Dean’s Office, supporting students with academic planning and grad school applications. I was personally selected for this role by my Dean, based on extensive past experience tutoring STEM subjects and holding leadership positions in state/national Student Council during high school. I have worked with dozens of students, both formally and informally, in this capacity.

In medical school, I have mentored students via various preclinical electives and student-run organizations. Most relevant to career development, I have also served as an interviewer for the medical school admissions committee for 2 years. Through these experiences, I am familiar with the components necessary to be a strong applicant, and would like to share those with you.

Other relevant stats include a 520+ MCAT (98th percentile), 3.99 Undergrad GPA, 4.0 Science GPA, and a Passed USMLE Step 1.

I believe that creating a narrative that is authentic to you is the most essential aspect of getting into medical school. I will work with you to highlight these aspects of your application, and create a story that not only showcases why you would be an excellent physician, but why any program would be lucky to have you.

If you would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to message me or book a free 30-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you!" less...
