I received a 522 on the MCAT (>99th percentile) and am a current medical student at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. I also worked in research and healthcare consulting, and am the Co-Founder and CEO of an orthopedic device startup. I love to work with students to find out what subject area strengths and weaknesses they have, set up study plans to address these weaknesses, and also help them strategize ways to improve their scores on the MCAT. I also enjoy giving test taking strategies to ensure your MCAT score is everything you dreamed!
