Elite Medical School & Dermatology Admissions Coach

Annelise C.

Hi, I’m Annelise, a PGY-3 dermatology resident at UCSF, Harvard College graduate, and Columbia-trained physician. I work with medical students applying to dermatology and other residency programs, as well as premedical students applying to medical school. With ERAS submitted, my current focus is residency interview preparation.

I was accepted to multiple top medical schools with full-tuition scholarship offers and later matched into dermatology. I have served as a Harvard writing tutor and alumni interviewer, participated in admissions at Columbia VP&S, and reviewed hundreds of applications.

For residency applicants, I offer mock interviews tailored to your application, specialty, and programs. Before we meet, I review your ERAS application and personal statement so we can focus on questions relevant to your background. Sessions cover common interview questions, research discussions, behavioral questions, and how to address weaknesses or unusual aspects of your application.

I am supportive but candid. If an answer is vague, too long, or does not answer the question, I will tell you and help you revise it. We work on answers that are clear and substantive without sounding rehearsed, including how to discuss your accomplishments without simply repeating your CV. For dermatology applicants, I also bring firsthand experience with the specialty’s interview process and can help with rank-list decisions or reapplication planning. For premedical students, I offer traditional and MMI interview preparation, along with personal statement, secondary essay, and application support. I accept a limited number of clients so I can review materials carefully and provide individualized feedback.
