Michael’s Medical School Qualifications
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
My name is Michael, and I am a current 3rd year in the MD-PhD program at Harvard Medical School. I grew up in Portola Valley and went to Stanford for undergrad, where I studied bioengineering. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I worked as a tutor for high school students, teaching math, social studies, and language arts. Now, as a medical student, I want to help pre-medical students through the admissions process. The application cycle is long and can be overwhelming, which is why I think it helps to have guidance from people who have gone through it recently. I have served as an application coach for multiple students, and they have all received offers of admission to top medical schools such as Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, and more. I would love to coach you on your journey to medical school, whether it be through editing your essays, talking application strategy, going through mock interviews, or anything else! Please reach out if you are interested or have any questions.
