Maya | Medical Student at NYU | 99th Percentile MCAT and Step 2 Score

Maya H.

Hi everyone!! I have experience teaching from both high school and college, when I volunteered as a middle school tutor. I have done these programs online and in-person, so I feel I am prepared to work with students in a number of settings. I also ran a tutoring program at my college, with which I have gained experience in tutoring as well as in designing curriculum. I am great with students of all ages, and understand the stress of being a pre-medical student since I was one myself. I am from Little Rock, Arkansas, attended school at the University of Virginia on a merit-based scholarship, and am now a medical student at NYU.

I was a Biology major at the University of Virginia, where I took multiples semesters of Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. I made A's in all of my classes and studied this material a second time in preparation for the MCAT.

As a pre-medical student, I spent over 8 months studying for the MCAT. I recently received a score of 526 (Chemistry/Physics:132/CARS:131/B&B:131/PS:132), with a maximum score being 528. This score is well above the 99th percentile for all test-takers. While many other students use courses to study for the MCAT, I entirely self-studied, and thus I feel very confident in my ability to advise other students on how to do the same. Furthermore, I achieved just a 504 on my first practice test, which shows that the methods I employed in studying were extremely effective in raising my score.

I also recently took Step 2 CK, a scored board exam which all medical students must take after completing clinical rotations. I scored a 275 after studying for 8 weeks, and also raised my score significantly from an initial score of 234.

Please contact me to learn more about my specific strategies and tutoring format! I can't wait to get started!
