She made me feel very comfortable sharing my story, and helped me craft essays that I feel truly represent me and my desire to pursue medicine. I am a first-generation college student, and I was grateful Ellen shared so much with me about applying to medical school and what to expect later on. I could not have done this without her help.

Rebecca, MCAT Student -
“Ellen was instrumental in my receiving several interviews and acceptances to medical school. Through her coaching, she taught me skills that took my personal statement and secondary applications from quite boring pieces of writing to essays that I am genuinely proud of. She also conducted and reviewed mock interviews with me so when the real interviews came, I felt more than prepared. She was very flexible and super responsive. Her compassion, kindness, and expertise made this stressful, discouraging process much easier. I cannot recommend Ellen enough!”
