Habib’s Medical School Qualifications

Habib has helped clients get into these schools:

Hello there! I'm Habib, a first-year medical student at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Having recently navigated the medical school admissions process myself, I was accepted to 11 programs, giving me very recent insights into what it takes to succeed. My experience as an MCAT tutor with Blueprint Test Prep has honed my ability to develop personalized study plans and strategies, which I now apply to help aspiring medical students. I've coached several individuals through school-list creation, essay refinement, and interview preparation, ensuring they present their best selves to admissions committees. If you're looking for guidance from someone who's been through the process recently, feel free to reach out!

About Habib

Hi everyone! My name's Habib. I'm an MS1 at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, so medical school admissions are fresh in my mind. I graduated from The Ohio State University after studying Neuroscience & minoring in Global Public Health, and matriculated to Penn straight through. I believe my recent application cycle gives me a fresh perspective on how to best position your application - both during and before a cycle - for the best chances of success at multiple institutions. I have a history of teaching & mentorship at multiple levels, and am happy to discuss my qualifications further in any capacity!

Why do I coach?

My successes are entirely due to the guidance and mentorship I've received along my journey, and I wish to pass on what I've learned to others navigating this process!
