4th-Year Medical Student: Personal Statements & Interview Prep

Brayden H.

I am a fourth-year medical student with a strong interest in helping applicants clearly and confidently tell their stories through personal statements and interviews. Drawing from my own experiences navigating medical school and residency applications and participating in multiple interviews, I have gained insight into what programs commonly look for and how applicants can present themselves effectively.

I work with premedical students applying to medical school as well as medical students preparing residency applications, including personal statements, supplemental essays, and interview preparation.

My approach is collaborative and individualized. For personal statements and written materials, I focus on structure, clarity, and authenticity, helping applicants identify the core themes of their experiences and communicate them in a compelling, professional way. I emphasize clear narrative flow, strong openings, and precise language while preserving each applicant’s unique voice.

For interview preparation, I offer mock interviews with detailed feedback, helping applicants practice articulating their experiences, answering common behavioral and application-specific questions, and presenting themselves with confidence and professionalism.

I have experience working one-on-one with students from a wide range of backgrounds and training levels, and I tailor each session to the applicant’s goals and timeline. Whether you are early in the writing process, refining a final draft, or preparing for upcoming interviews, I aim to provide practical guidance, honest feedback, and a supportive environment that helps you put your best application forward.
