How Can You Benefit?
We coach talented high school students who are passionate about medicine and assist them to gain admission into selective universities – both Direct Medicine and traditional four year programs.
We also help them prepare for SAT or ACT and AP exams in Calculus, Physics-C, Biology, and Chemistry.
We recognize that the admissions process can be immensely stressful for both students and parents. We guide you step by step and help make this journey manageable.
Our Approach
It is never too early! We work with 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders.
We approach each grade with a different set of coaching objectives.
“EARLY START”
9th & 10th grade
Building out your bio.
In these early years, we get our students excited about medicine (for direct medicine track) or robotics (for engineering track) or economics (for business or finance track).
In addition, we assist you in
selection & pacing of school courses
finding meaningful research and clinical activities
helping you apply to summer internships and programs, and
improving your math skills, which will pay dividends down the road.
We continue to emphasize maintaining good grades/ GPA in school.
Alternatively, we can provide ad-hoc advice and guidance for your questions.
“The CRUCIAL SUMMER”
Between 10th & 11th Grade
We can also help you with your SAT or ACT Math preparation.
Also, we help you with your PSAT exam prep.
Track your summer programs and internships.
“HIGH GEAR”
11th Grade
We will help you navigate your preparation for standardized tests.
Expand your bio: develop activities in both medical and non-medical activities.
Target universities: Start selecting university programs for you to target.
Target applications: Finally, we will take on the arduous process of navigating your college and/or direct medicine essays early, so that the monster of a process ultimately becomes very manageable.
Coach you on time-management skills.
We continue to emphasize maintaining good grades/ GPA in school.
“The Finish”
12th Grade
All of your hard work comes down to this moment.
Time will be a precious commodity! Managing your time to maintain your high GPA while also applying to many universities, including their Direct Medicine programs, and scholarship programs as well as your extra-curricular activities.
Furthermore, this is the year you will be cementing yourself as a leader in all activities you partake in.
Your application game-plan: We will assist you to develop your game-plan, manage deadlines, polish your essays in an iterative process, and prepare you to face your interviews (different formats) confidently.
