About Ashish


Bio

I am a fourth year medical student at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I have tutored MCAT (526, 100th percentile)/USMLE (pass Step 1, 276/99+th percentile Step 2) and am now also an admissions counselor, essay reader, and interview prep consultant with 250+ hours of experience!

As an applicant, I gained admission to eight medical schools (AMCAS/TMDSAS) and was offered over $140,000 in scholarships, not including my full tuition scholarship to NYU worth over $240,000. No matter where you...

I am a fourth year medical student at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I have tutored MCAT (526, 100th percentile)/USMLE (pass Step 1, 276/99+th percentile Step 2) and am now also an admissions counselor, essay reader, and interview prep consultant with 250+ hours of experience!

As an applicant, I gained admission to eight medical schools (AMCAS/TMDSAS) and was offered over $140,000 in scholarships, not including my full tuition scholarship to NYU worth over $240,000. No matter where you are in your career (pre-BSMD, undergrad, gap year, pre- or post-MCAT, nontraditional, etc.), it is never too early to get started on planning your application/test-taking and maximizing its potential to showcase the amazing medical student you will be! If you happen to be at the essay-writing stage, I am more than happy to go through your writing with you and help bring out your strengths in the way that I know admissions committees want to see. I specialize in helping students write essays that are reflective, aspirational, and mature. As I understand many students use AI as a writing guide, I ensure final products sound original and true to their voice. I also have extensive experience with mock interviews (BSMD and MD, traditional and MMI format), drawing on my experience as an admissions ambassador and on my own previous interview trail.

At NYU, I serve on the admissions ambassador team, led the South Asian Medical Students Organization, and organize my own health screening drives at faith based communities in NYC. On the side, I am also a violinist, budding home cook, and an avid college football and NFL fan! I can't wait to meet you!

Prepared, knowledgeable, and thorough

Ashish was a huge help as I was preparing my medical school applications. His feedback and encouragement on my writing, as well as mock interview prep, were both thoughtful and thorough. He made astute observations, pointing out details that no one else spotted. He is an absolute expert at medical school application preparation and I would fully recommend him to anyone else seeking high-quality support!

Exceptional Medical School Tutor – Personal Statement and Medical School Guidance Expert

Ashish is an incredible resource for anyone applying to medical school. I came to him overwhelmed by how to structure my personal statement and how to approach the broader application process. Ashish immediately cleared up all of my personal statement issues and gave me a very fresh perspective on where I stand amongst other applicants. He has a deep understanding of what medical schools are looking for and he helped me craft a personal statement that was not only authentic, but also compelling and well-structured. He guided me through multiple drafts with thoughtful feedback, encouraging me to dig deeper in examples where it mattered most while also helping me tighten language and organization. Beyond writing, Ashish offered me invaluable advice on how to frame my experiences and present myself across all parts of my application. His insights into AMCAS and the application process were just as helpful as his writing support. I can tell he genuinely cares about his students' success and approaches every session with professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail. He has gone above and beyond for me. If you’re applying to medical school, I genuinely cannot recommend Ashish enough. His mentorship made me feel far more confident and prepared during one of the most stressful times of my academic career.

Great tutor for Personal Statement Review!

Ashish was phenomenal to work with! He helped me polish my personal statement and get my points across on very short notice. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extra set of eyes on their writing materials.

Tutor with real Medical School experience!

Ashish is one of the few advisors I’ve worked with who brings real experience to the table. He’s been through the medical school application process himself and is almost finished with his medical training. That perspective makes a huge difference because he understands what matters in medicine. Most importantly, I appreciate the depth and clarity of his feedback. It was specific, actionable, and truly helped me strengthen my writing.

Incredible Guide for Medical School Essays

Ashish was great to work with to write and polish my medical school essays. He's very detail-oriented and can help develop ideas into concrete writing. Great guy for anything medical school admissions-related too.

Instrumental to Editing My Composite Letter Application

Ashish helped me edit my composite letter application for the premed advising center at Emory University, and was incredibly helpful by giving my essays structure when answering questions. Additionally, he was able to incorporate his own medical knowledge in phrasing my essays which ensured that my unique experiences and strengths were highlighted in the best possible way. His guidance was clear and constructive and he was so patient when helping me edit essays I was confused on. I had multiple editing sessions with him and by the time I submitted my composite letter application, I was confident in my writing and so glad I had worked with Ashish!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

He is very patient and very understanding of my concerns regarding test prep. I struggle with CARS, and we did some passages together and discussed how to approach them in a way that would make me feel better about them. He showed me some strategies on how to approach them better and they were extremely helpful. He had some really good advice, tips and strategies for those who are planning to take the MCAT.
