Yale Grad (3.9 GPA) & MD Candidate - SAT/ACT/College Apps/Pre-Med prep

Sasha W.

I graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in the History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health —with Distinction —and a 3.9 GPA, before earning my place at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Along the way, I contributed to seven peer-reviewed publications through research collaborations at Harvard, Columbia, and Boston Children's Hospital. Before medicine, I competed professionally in tennis, ranked inside the top 150 players in the world, with Grand Slam appearances across four continents. That background isn't incidental—it's truly foundational to how I approach preparation, performance, and working with students.
What I offer isn't generic advice. I work with students serious about competitive college admissions, pre-med programs, and medical school applications, and I bring something no algorithm can replicate: firsthand experience navigating these systems at the highest level. I know what Yale actually looks for and why. I know what pre-med students consistently get wrong and how to correct it early. I've been through the medical school admissions process at a top-ten institution and understand what strong candidates genuinely look like. My approach is strategic and direct — I focus on how students think, how they position themselves, and how they perform when it counts.
I work one-on-one with high school students planning toward elite college admissions, undergraduates building competitive pre-med profiles, and students preparing medical school applications and early coursework. Sessions are conversational and high-signal—I ask the right questions, find the gaps, and give honest, specific guidance grounded in my real experience!
