Is This You?

Our consulting works best for particular kinds of clients.

Our approach may work especially well for you, because it’s designed for these kinds of situations:

You’re just starting college or finishing up your first few years.

You have a dream of going to medical school or dental school or another health profession school, but you’re overwhelmed, or just uncertain, about all the different choices you have on how to spend your time as you develop into a competitive candidate.

You are a sophomore or junior in college and you really want to go straight through to medical school or dental school or another health profession school.

You have always planned to not take a “gap year,” and everyone is encouraging you to go straight through without taking a gap, but you’re not sure if this is the best plan for you or whether you are even the best, most competitive candidate at this point. You may feel additional stress over having to “fit it all in” and wonder if this really is the right plan for you.

You’ve decided that next summer you will definitely be applying to medical school or dental school or another health profession school.

Despite having thought about your application for many months, or even years, you are not sure how you can best prepare now, over the next few months, so that you are not overwhelmed and trying to complete your application all in a few weeks.

You’re actually making progress with drafts of your application materials and still planning to apply next summer, but you don’t have much interview experience and you want to feel better prepared.

You feel like you know a little bit about the interview process, but you really want some experience interviewing with someone you don’t know. You also really want some ideas and strategies for excelling in the interview process.

You’re actually making progress with your application materials and planning to apply next summer, but you’ve hit some unexpected bumps in the road to your dream.

You feel like you’ve hit some issues that could slow you down and you are not sure of their impact on your future application. You just want to talk with someone who knows a bit more about your options and what might be a solid plan for moving forward.

You have already applied to medical school, dental school, or another health profession school and you have some additional questions or concerns as you move through the application cycle.

You talk with friends and hear that they have been contacted by schools already, but things are slow for you. You have interviewed but not yet heard back from a school and you are not sure what the next best steps may be.

Does this sound like you?

If so, then I feel confident that our consulting services can really help you get more prepared, feel more confident, and, most importantly, learn more about all the wonderful strengths and talents you bring to the application process.

Thank you very much for your time conducting a practice interview for me. The assistance you provided along the way…was very valuable and I greatly appreciate it! The questions that you asked me during the interview were thought provoking and truly gave me the opportunity to express myself as an individual. The constructive feedback that you afforded me will prove ever useful during future interviews. The [practice] interview process has been a great learning experience and has prepared me well for applying to dental school. Additionally, the process has furthered my passion towards becoming a health professional…Again, thank you immensely for your time and insight throughout this whole process; I am extremely appreciative!
