About Lori


Bio

I'm Lori, a summa cum laude graduate with degrees in Biology and Journalism. With a 518 MCAT score and acceptances to five medical schools (and 12+ interview invitations), I now tutor students preparing for the MCAT and advise applicants throughout the medical school admissions process. My approach is structured, strategic, and highly personalized—focused not just on achieving strong outcomes, but on building real confidence and clarity along the way.

I'm Lori, a summa cum laude graduate with degrees in Biology and Journalism. With a 518 MCAT score and acceptances to five medical schools (and 12+ interview invitations), I now tutor students preparing for the MCAT and advise applicants throughout the medical school admissions process. My approach is structured, strategic, and highly personalized—focused not just on achieving strong outcomes, but on building real confidence and clarity along the way.

For the past two years, I’ve tutored students in all sections of the MCAT, helping them develop both content mastery and test-taking strategy. I tailor sessions around each student’s needs—whether that means reviewing biochem pathways, practicing CARS under timed conditions, or analyzing UWorld performance to improve retention and pacing. In addition to test prep, I’ve spent the last year advising students on their medical school applications: brainstorming personal statements, refining secondaries, preparing for interviews, and managing timelines. I draw on my background in journalism—I’ve been writing professionally for four years—to help students craft essays that are clear, compelling, and genuinely reflect who they are.

I believe in direct, supportive communication and adapting my methods to meet each student’s goals. If you’re preparing for the MCAT or navigating the medical school application process, I’d love to work with you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session!

Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I’ve completed 12 medical school interviews myself—with multiple acceptances—and now use that experience to help others succeed. For the past year, I’ve coached students through interviews for jobs, college admissions, BS/MD programs, and medical school. My approach emphasizes clarity, confidence, and storytelling tailored to each type of interview. Many of my students have gone on to secure competitive acceptances and offers.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 518 on the MCAT (97th percentile) in August 2023, with section scores of 127 in Chemistry/Physics, 130 in CARS, 130 in Biology/Biochemistry, and 131 in Psychology/Sociology. I have two years of experience tutoring all sections of the MCAT and have worked with students at every stage of their prep—from building a content foundation to reviewing UWorld and refining test-taking strategies. My tutoring approach is highly personalized and focuses on retention, pacing, and reasoning. I emphasize long-term skill development over shortcuts, and many of my students have achieved double-digit score increases as a result.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I earned a degree in journalism and have four years of professional writing experience, including published work in local news outlets. My background in narrative writing and editing has equipped me with the skills to help applicants craft compelling, authentic personal statements. I specialize in medical school applications and have guided numerous students through the essay process—from brainstorming and structure to tone and polish. I also received 12+ interview invitations and five medical school acceptances myself, giving me firsthand insight into what makes an application essay stand out.
