"I am a fourth-year medical student at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and previously served on the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine admissions committee, where I formally reviewed and evaluated medical school applications, including personal statements and secondary essays, and conducted applicant interviews. This experience gave me direct insight into how applications and interviews are assessed and what creates a clear, compelling applicant narrative. I now mentor applicants through the medical school application process by reviewing personal statements and preparing students for interviews, focusing on clarity, authenticity, and confidence while aligning their responses with how applicants are evaluated in real admissions settings.

I have several years of teaching and tutoring experience with undergraduate, premedical, and post-baccalaureate students in both one-on-one and small-group settings. During college at Georgetown University, I served as a teaching assistant for courses in anatomy, physiology, and microbiology. In medical school, my test scores qualified me to work as a peer tutor, teaching other medical students components of the preclinical medical school curriculum. I also tutor the MCAT with an emphasis on conceptual understanding, passage-based reasoning, and test strategy rather than memorization." less...
