Testimonials

“I really enjoyed working with Chelsea. She had a quick turnaround on edits for my work, and promptly replied to my emails. I felt like she truly wanted to help me get into medical school!”
MD Applicant -
“I have had the pleasure of working with Chelsea for the last calendar year. During this time, Chelsea helped me craft a successful Fulbright application and has worked with me as an advisor and editor for the medical school application process. Chelsea is a committed tutor who is diligent in her work and provides candid feedback for her clients. What makes working with Chelsea so valuable is her ability to have difficult discussions—whether it's about returning to the drawing board on a lackluster essay draft, or the likelihood of getting into a certain medical school. She delicately handles these converstaions and leaves her students feeling inspired. Her honesty is what helps her students succeed. She takes the time to get to know her students in an effort to push them to be the best writers and applicants they can be. She responds quickly on email, and returns drafts in remarkable time. As I write this testimonial, I'm working as a Fulbrighter abroad and preparing for my first medical school interview at an MD program with the second most applications in the country. If it wasn't for Chelsea, I wouldn't be in such a position to succeed.”

MD Applicant -
“The application process, especially writing personal statements, is an incredibly vulnerable experience in itself. It takes a certain person to be able to both hold space for the pieces of ourselves that we share in those essays, while also providing honest and needed feedback in a digestible manner. This, on top of Chelsea’s wisdom and industry knowledge, speediness with edits, and commitment to her clients, made working with her incredible. Chelsea’s guidance has had such a positive impact on both my applications and my professional goals. I am so grateful to have worked with Chelsea and cannot recommend her enough!”
