My journey wasn’t linear, I was a non-traditional applicant, a 3x reapplicant, a 5x MCAT retaker, and spent 6 GROWTH years between college and medical school. Despite setbacks, I refused to let statistics define me. I share my story to remind you that your dreams are possible, you are capable, and you are deserving. Medicine needs voices like yours.
Breaking Barriers & Paying It Forward
I gained multiple medical school acceptances with scholarships despite my low GPA/MCAT, and I owe much of my success to strategic storytelling, impactful experiences, and thorough preparation. I learned how to leverage every space available on my application to highlight the journey that set me apart. Now, I help others do the same. Below are some of the qualifications and experiences that have shaped my path.
