Smart med solutions for every need, every budget.

Clients dive into our comprehensive questionnaire that uncovers the essence of their medical journey. We extract insights about clinical experiences, research achievements, motivations for pursuing medicine, hidden passions, and untapped strengths. This intelligence powers our approach as we craft a standout differentiation strategy that medical schools can’t ignore. Our groundbreaking PULSE™ methodology—the secret weapon behind countless successful applications—is woven throughout this initial phase, setting the foundation for what’s to come.

We meticulously analyze your responses and PULSE™ results to engineer a precision strategy that maximizes your application’s impact. This initial blueprint determines exactly where to allocate your time and how to leverage each opportunity for maximum effect. This is Part I of our signature diagnostic phase—the critical foundation that transforms ordinary pre-med journeys into standout medical school applications.

The strategy and planning meeting is the crucial second half of our proprietary diagnostic process. During this intensive deep dive, we extract critical insights as we collaborate with you to develop a compelling medical school narrative. By asking incisive questions and fostering candid dialogue, we identify your unique positioning angle—creating a foundation for an application that stands out in a hyper-competitive field.

We provide a clear framework to guide your medical school selection process, helping you navigate the overwhelming number of options. We’ll help you focus on programs that align with your academic profile, career goals, and personal preferences (location, program strengths, opportunities).

Next to the strategic work we perform at the beginning of each service, the Personal Statement Analysis / Iterative Drafting phase is the most transformative work we do together. Over the course of four-to-five rounds of analysis and feedback, we help you transform raw ideas into a compelling narrative that captures both your journey to medicine and your future vision as a physician. This process requires mastery along two key dimensions: (1) Diagnosis – precisely identifying which aspects of your personal statement are compelling/underdeveloped, coherent/disjointed, emotionally resonant/clinical, etc., and (2) Actionable Feedback – providing concrete suggestions that inspire you to refine your work in ways that enhance impact while preserving your authentic voice. Navigating the personal statement effectively requires both medical knowledge and storytelling expertise—areas where our consultants excel, helping you craft a statement that stands out in a sea of qualified applicants.

Typically, consultants will review your primary application (over a shared screen, never controlling the application itself for obvious ethical reasons) and provide targeted support in areas where we can add meaningful value. We’ll help you strategically present your activities, experiences, and achievements to create a cohesive narrative that enhances your personal statement. This review takes place over one phone call, or via email if you prefer to organize specific questions in written form.

We provide strategic guidance on selecting the optimal mix of recommenders to showcase different dimensions of your candidacy, including science faculty, physicians, research mentors, and others. We’ll help you develop effective approaches for soliciting strong recommendations and, when appropriate, offer high-level guidance directly to recommenders who are open to feedback. We respect recommender preferences and only provide input with explicit consent. Letters of Recommendation Support includes up to two rounds of focused feedback designed to help you secure letters that strengthen your overall application narrative.

Interview Prep (Standard): When you receive those coveted interview invitations, we prepare you to shine through our two-meeting approach. We begin with a purposefully challenging Mini-Mock Interview to identify your natural strengths and growth areas, followed by targeted preparation strategies and a comprehensive review of school-specific interview trends. This “pressure test” approach creates the perfect environment for rapid improvement. In our second meeting, we conduct a formal Mock Interview that simulates the actual experience—whether traditional, MMI, or hybrid format—followed by detailed, actionable feedback that transforms your interview performance from competent to compelling.

We elevate your interview preparation with our comprehensive three-meeting approach. We begin with a Blind Interview conducted by a second expert who has no prior knowledge of your application or background—creating the most authentic simulation of your actual interview day. This unbiased interviewer provides objective feedback that we transform into a customized improvement roadmap. We then follow with our standard two-meeting sequence: a targeted Mini-Mock Interview with your primary consultant who identifies specific opportunities for improvement, followed by a final full-length Mock Interview that refines your performance to excellence. This rigorous process ensures you’re not just prepared, but poised to make a memorable impression that advances your candidacy.

Our specialized preparation for these situational judgment assessments goes beyond superficial tips. We begin with an in-depth overview of these unique evaluation formats and what admissions committees are truly measuring. Through targeted practice scenarios and expert feedback, we help you develop the framework to navigate ethical dilemmas, interpersonal challenges, and professional situations with confidence. Our approach emphasizes authentic responses that demonstrate your natural strengths in critical thinking, empathy, and professional judgment—qualities essential for success in medical education. You’ll leave this preparation session with both the practical strategies and mental framework to approach these assessments as opportunities rather than obstacles.

Once decisions arrive, we provide comprehensive post-application strategy to maximize your options. For students fortunate enough to receive multiple acceptances, we offer a focused decision-making session to help you evaluate each program based on your career goals, financial considerations, and personal factors. For those placed on waitlists, we develop a proactive strategy including appropriate follow-up communications, “Letters of Continued Interest,” and additional materials to strengthen your candidacy, with up to two rounds of targeted feedback. Our support continues until you’ve secured your optimal outcome, whether that means selecting between multiple offers or successfully converting a waitlist position into an acceptance.

For the first three schools of your multi-school application campaign, we implement a rigorous quality assurance process. A second expert consultant, with no previous exposure to your application, performs a critical review of your personal statement and secondary essays. This consultant deliberately evaluates your essays from a challenging perspective, identifying potential vulnerabilities that admissions committees might flag. This strategic “stress test” generates precise, actionable feedback that your primary consultant uses to fortify any weak points before submission. This dual-expert approach ensures your written materials benefit from multiple professional perspectives while there’s still time to implement meaningful improvements.

At strategic inflection points in your application journey, our MD experts provide invaluable perspective on your candidacy from behind the scenes. These practicing physicians, recent enough graduates to understand the current admissions landscape, collaborate directly with your primary consultant to review your application strategy and materials. This seamless integration of medical expertise ensures your application benefits from authentic insights without disrupting your established workflow. Your primary consultant remains your dedicated point of contact throughout, incorporating the MD’s specialized perspective into your overall strategy. This collaborative approach delivers the full advantage of professional medical insight while maintaining the consistency and personalized guidance you deserve—a sophisticated system that sets our service apart from standard consulting offerings.

An innovative creation from our med school admissions laboratory! This unique process simulates the actual committee evaluation experience in remarkable detail. You’ll respond to three carefully crafted questions in video format, while our committee also reviews your academic transcripts, personal statement, and secondary essays from your top target school—creating a comprehensive profile evaluation that mirrors the real admissions process. This holistic review gives us insight into how your entire application package—both written and verbal components—creates an overall impression. Your application is evaluated alongside anonymized previous candidates (including accepted, waitlisted, and rejected applicants) by our internal committee of three seasoned reviewers. This comparative context mirrors how actual admissions committees evaluate candidates relative to the applicant pool rather than in isolation. Each reviewer first scores independently before engaging in a collaborative discussion about your application’s strengths and potential vulnerabilities. The insights from this simulation feed directly back to your primary consultant, who integrates this valuable intelligence into refining your application strategy. To maintain the integrity and candor of this process, we keep the committee’s deliberations confidential, ensuring you receive the most authentic preparatory experience possible before facing the real admissions committee.

We are available via email from the start of the engagement through to the end.

Our objective is to provide oracle-level guidance. If that requires phone calls, we’ve got you. While technically not unlimited (some will abuse this), we still want it to feel as though you always have access when needed and warranted. We can help manage expectations regarding how much phone access to expect for each tier, and we invite you to discuss this with us ahead of time! We say it often: alignment is crucial, and we want our approach to exceed your expectations. Let’s get on the same page!

Clients are invited to fill out a comprehensive questionnaire that explores your academic journey, clinical experiences, research background, extracurricular activities, and personal circumstances. This detailed assessment helps us understand both your candidacy and your aspirations for medicine.

We thoroughly analyze your responses prior to our strategy session, evaluating your academic metrics, clinical experiences, research involvement, and extracurricular activities against successful medical school applicant profiles. This preparation allows us to focus our call time on advanced strategy development and substantive discussions about positioning your unique strengths for medical school admissions committees.

This in-depth consultation provides crucial insights into your personal approach to the medical school journey—uncovering your learning style, communication preferences, clinical interests, and professional goals. We evaluate your academic profile, MCAT readiness or performance, clinical experiences, and research involvement to identify both strengths to highlight and areas for strategic development. This comprehensive understanding allows us to create a customized roadmap that maximizes your competitive positioning for medical school admissions.

Armed with a clear understanding of your current standing and competitive positioning, we develop a structured action plan tailored to your medical school aspirations. This comprehensive roadmap outlines specific strategies for strengthening clinical experiences, research involvement, MCAT preparation, and application components, complete with milestone targets and timeline benchmarks. This strategic framework transforms abstract goals into concrete action steps, providing the focused direction needed for your medical school admissions journey.

In addition to the up-front, foundational strategy work, each tier of service includes dedicated consultation hours with your medical school admissions expert. These hours can be utilized flexibly according to your needs—whether through scheduled strategy sessions, application review meetings, mock interviews, or asynchronous document reviews. Some clients prefer regular face-to-face guidance, while others benefit from a combination of meetings and detailed written feedback on personal statements, activity descriptions, and secondary essays. This personalized approach ensures you receive the specific support most valuable for your medical school application journey.
