My name is Gautam - I'm a recent graduate from a T20 med school and a newly-minted radiology resident with a passion for mentoring aspiring medical students. I bring a unique blend of analytical and creative communication to my sessions, and strive to provide a personalized approach to every student. I have over three years of experience in medical school application guidance, and specialize in personal statement editing, AMCAS/AACOMAS application review, and MMI/traditional interview preparation. I've also spent a significant amount of time as an MMI interviewer and rater, which has given me valuable insight into the qualities that medical schools seek. I've taken more than forty students from the initial stages of application conception all the way through interviews, admissions, and final school choices, all of which has given me unparalleled insight into the process.

My philosophy when it comes to building a strong application is simple; let the student shine. You've done a lot to get to where you are, and my job is to help you show it off in most cohesive and interesting way possible. I aim to combine valuable feedback on writing and interview responses with your own personal voice and life experiences, ensuring that your application is not just robust, but an accurate reflection of the person you are.

My sessions focus on actionable change, and I guarantee you'll walk away from each session with a list of things to work on. I prioritize timely responses, and you'll be able to reach out to me anytime with any questions that might arise. Drop me a message and see how best I can help you!

MCAT

MCAT

As a current MS4 at a T20 medical school, I am well acquainted with the rigors of preparing for the MCAT. I took the MCAT in my junior year of college, and scored a 522, which corresponds to a >99%ile score. I have tutored numerous students through the MCAT and its sections, and am confident I can provide valuable insight to students regardless of their profile.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I am a graduate from a T20 USMD school, and have 4+ years of experience in editing personal statements and application materials for college and medical school admissions. I focus on making meaningful edits to structure, narrative, diction, and syntax while still maintaining the voice and style of the student. My students have gone on to interview and matriculate at top institutions around the country, and often cite their written materials as a particular strength that their application reviewers and interviewers notice.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

Gautam was really helpful and responsive to my questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs to work on their personal statement or activities.

Best AMCAS and essay tutor!

Gautam was very quick to respond to my last minute request for editing my personal statement and AMCAS activities section. Truthfully, I have tried 10+ different tutors on Wyzant, but Gautam was easily the best, most knowledgable, most helpful, and most attentive. He went above and beyond editing my essays and gave me very careful and extremely helpful advice. He edited all my work line by line, explaining his logic in unique ways that I wouldn't have been able to think of myself. I've had numerous professors, doctors, etc. edit my essays but none of their edits were nearly as detailed as Gautam's. Can't thank him enough!!! Highly recommend!!

Prepared, supportive and deeply knowledgeable advisor

Even though I reached out to Gautam with very short notice, he came to our first session fully prepared, and had valuable insights into every part of the application process. I also liked that he was willing to provide his own perspective as an applicant and medical student. He was easy to speak to, and is very accessible even outside of sessions. Working with Gautam has been great!
