‍Challenge:

Marcus is a sophomore who decided to follow a pre-med track but wasn’t sure which courses he should take for medical school beyond a required introductory biology course. He wanted to ensure he would take the necessary courses and hone his skills for medical school.

How We Helped:

Reviewed Marcus’ college transcript to identify courses he’d already taken

Helped him create a class schedule for the next three years that would satisfy requirements at most major medical schools, including biology, chemistry, physics, and writing-intensive courses

Provided guidance on which majors would help him take all prerequisites while balancing his interests in humanities through a minor in Classical Studies

Provided 1:1 MCAT tutoring that would provide Marcus with a guaranteed 515+ score—his tutor’s guidance helped him work through organic chemistry questions and achieve a 523 on the exam

Worked with Marcus to build his analytical skills, helping him secure a part-time position in data entry at a med-tech company

Helped Marcus gain clinical experience as a medical assistant at Weill Cornell Medical College

Helped Marcus publish his research in the Journal of Neuroscience through the Inspira Medical Research Fellowship

‍Outcome:

Marcus was admitted to 19 of the 30 medical schools to which he applied. When he was waitlisted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we helped him craft a letter of intent that led to his acceptance!
