Learn How We Helped Maya Make Her BS/MD Dream Come True at Brown University

Unfortunately, even stellar academic performance isn’t enough to get accepted to the nation’s top BS/MD programs. Essays are a crucial part of the holistic admissions process, showcasing a student’s most impactful experiences and highlighting the traits that would help them become a great physician. 

Maya knew she’d need to write a personal statement and many supplemental BS/MD essays, but couldn’t get the one-on-one writing support she needed from her school or at home. Maya and her parents booked a free consultation with us to discuss how we could help her candidacy shine.

We actively listened to Maya’s concerns and assured her that high-achieving high school students often feel stressed when approaching BS/MD essays. We conducted a detailed persona analysis to pinpoint her most meaningful activities, what she loved to do, and how her traits, experiences, and passions connected the dots to her future in medicine. After multiple in-depth conversations, brainstorming sessions, and outlining, Maya was ready to tackle admissions essays with a former admissions committee member by her side. Her counselor provided high-level, red-line edits that would retain Maya’s voice while giving her narratives the boost they needed to become attention-grabbing stories. 

Maya was admitted to 11 BS/MD programs and colleges, including her dream program: Brown University’s PLME program!
