Experienced Application Editor/English Tutor- Yale PGA/Medical Student

Chandana K.

With over four years of experience helping students craft standout application materials, I work one-on-one with students applying to both undergraduate and graduate programs to develop compelling, authentic applications. Whether you need help brainstorming ideas, structuring your personal statement, refining supplemental essays, or polishing final drafts, I am committed to helping you present your best self and achieve your academic goals.

I am currently a first-year medical student and previously worked as a Postgraduate Research Associate at Yale School of Medicine, where I conducted clinical research and contributed to a PubMed-indexed publication. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into what makes an application stand out.
I have worked with students across the United States and internationally, including Brazil and India, helping applicants apply to flagship universities and highly selective institutions such as Yale, Brown, the University of Florida, The University of Texas at Austin, and more.
My passion for mentorship began through Girls for Science, a community organization that paired mentors with young women pursuing STEM careers. Since then, I have continued mentoring students through educational outreach and individualized application coaching.
My expertise lies in helping students craft impactful, personalized essays that authentically communicate their experiences, goals, and character. Through one-on-one sessions, I provide strategic feedback on personal statements, supplemental essays, resumes, and other application materials, ensuring every submission is polished and memorable.
As a graduate of a top-five public university and now a medical student, I also offer guidance on building balanced college and graduate school lists, navigating admissions, and making informed decisions. I look forward to helping you tell your story and achieve your academic aspirations.
