Before attending medical school, Adarsh graduated with a 4.0 GPA from the University of Rochester, earning a BS in neuroscience and induction into Phi Beta Kappa. With three years of tutoring experience, Adarsh has helped students increase their MCAT scores by an average of 9 points, with some scoring as high as 524 on the exam. He is also the Co-Founder & CEO of Project Level the Field, a national nonprofit focused on reducing educational inequity.
Adarsh’s path to education and medicine was shaped by his experience as an immigrant and first-generation college student. He earned his associate’s degree concurrently with his high school diploma before attending the University of Rochester. He received several academic honors during college and two gap years, including the Rush Rhees Scholarship, DAAD-RISE Scholarship, and the Schwartz Discover Grant.
Adarsh gained extensive clinical and research experience across a diverse range of settings, including emergency medicine, pain management, and outpatient surgery. As a Surgical Dermatology Gap Year Fellow under Dr. Stephen Kovacs, Adarsh served as a surgical first assistant in over 300 procedures, developing hands-on proficiency in suturing, electrocautery, and skin grafting. During his time as a research assistant at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Adarsh published two peer-reviewed articles in Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurology, two abstracts, and presented seven scientific posters.
Adarsh is also passionate about educational equity. He co-founded Project Level the Field, a nonprofit that has served over 1,400 high school students through college counseling workshops nationwide. He has also served as a volunteer teacher with Harvard Medical School’s MEDScience Program, where he led hands-on medical simulations and workshops for high school students. Currently, Adarsh works as a full-time kindergarten teacher, fostering a love of learning from an early age. His long-term goal is to combine his passions for medicine and education by becoming a physician-educator who advances health equity through teaching, research, and service.
As an MCAT tutor, Adarsh believes in structured, sustainable routines and incremental improvement. He increased his own score significantly by focusing on long-term retention, detailed error tracking, and data-driven study systems—methods he now helps students implement themselves.
