About Anna


Bio

Hi! I'm Anna and I'm so excited to meet you! I am currently a 4th year medical student at a US medical school, and I love working with pre-medical students, as well as high school seniors, to support them in applying into the programs of their dreams. The process of applying to college and medical school can be very daunting, but I am a firm believer that your unique story and dedication to this future profession matters above all else.

Hi! I'm Anna and I'm so excited to meet you! I am currently a 4th year medical student at a US medical school, and I love working with pre-medical students, as well as high school seniors, to support them in applying into the programs of their dreams. The process of applying to college and medical school can be very daunting, but I am a firm believer that your unique story and dedication to this future profession matters above all else.

When I applied to medical schools, I knew that I had a lower-than-usual GPA because of one personally challenging year in undergrad. Because of this, I doubled down on my personal statement and supplemental essays, and received interview invitations at schools including NYU, Columbia, and Cornell despite my GPA being out of range for these schools. With the combination of a strong MCAT score and even stronger application essays, I was able to overcome my sub-par GPA. I'd love to help you do the same! My favorite thing about being an application editor is helping my students' unique stories shine to admissions committees. Because of this, I am coming back to Wyzant to help students prepare for their AMCAS applications, pre-write secondaries, and prepare their activities sections before the summer application season. I'd love to help them get to know how great YOU are! If you're interested in my application writing support, please send a message.

Outside of this, I am available on a limited basis to support MCAT preparation. I scored in the 97th percentile of the MCAT with a 132 (100th percentile score) in P/S. The MCAT is a very comprehensive exam, but it is very doable with a personalized, time-efficient schedule. I often help students create that schedule, and support them in reviewing important content as well as test-taking strategies. Due to my class schedule, I am only taking a limited amount of biweekly students at this time.

Outside of class, I love to meet every dog and cat that I see, volunteer at a free clinic, and hang out with my friends.

MCAT

I took the MCAT in January of 2021 with 4 months of self-guided studying and mostly free resources. Despite not having taken a chemistry class in almost 2 years by that point, I recieved a score in the 97th percentile with a score breakdown of 130/128/130/132. Even though I have never taken a sociology or psychology class in college, I self-studied with free resources to get a perfect score of 132 on the exam. I'd love to help you meet your MCAT goals!

great listener, very patient tutor

I think she’s great at trying to understand your thought process but also being positive when trying to share constructive feedback. She makes these sessions more enjoyable as well!

Encouraging tutor!

The MCAT is a huge exam and Anna was so supportive and encouraging. She was so helpful in suggesting strategies for CARS and going over practice passages/questions. I really admire her approach to MCAT studying - emphasizing balance and a great mindset. She is also patient and sweet!

Great help!

Anna helped my son with his College application essay and he and I are very happy to have used her services. Anna is very flexible regarding schedule, she is knowledgeable in writing essays and she gives you the feeling that she cares about her tutoring and her students. She takes the task at hand seriously and she is very easy to work with. She is well worth the money spent. I would recommend Anna to anyone struggling with College essays. Don't hesitate, she is great!

Knowledgable and helpful tutor

She was super helpful when it came to explaining how to study for the MCAT. She helped me create a schedule in order to stay on track, and she showed me great resources that will be beneficial during the study process.

Knowledgeable, organized, and adaptable tutor!

In the first session, Anna listened to my MCAT study journey so far, and from that, created an individualized, structured study schedule for me to follow so that I can best optimize my studying time! Having recently taken the MCAT herself, she shares the best resources and techniques and tells you what is worth spending your time on vs. what isn't. She is also incredibly kind and patient!

Best Essay Tutor Ever!

Anna was one of the best essay editors I’ve met and certainly the best one I met on Wyzant. I was struggling with my college essays, and she was really able to execute the my story in a phenomenal way. She did what other tutors with extensive English education background and over 1000 positive reviews on Wyzant could not do. Not only that, she was so kind, understanding, patient, and encouraging. If I had any writing to do in the future, Anna would be my first choice. Highly recommend!!!
