Medical Student at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine

Kelsey X.

Hi, I'm Kelsey! I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's in Human Development and a minor in Gerontology and I'm a current medical student at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I have multiple years of teaching experience as a TA for many science courses during college, both in large groups and 1-on-1 tutoring settings.

Having gone through the medical school application process myself as a first-generation student, I know how daunting it can be to navigate everything, which is why I'm passionate about helping other prospective medical students on this journey. I want to help students uncover the "why medicine" story within them and work with them to build a strong application through personal statement, primary application review, secondary application review, and interview preparation.

I also understand that challenges arise long before the application itself, and I want to make the entire pre-med journey more accessible by helping students figure out what are the best classes for them to take, how to get into a research lab and come up with a research question, how to organize extracurricular interests, how to get involved in volunteering, how to find a clinical experience that provides meaningful exposure to medicine, and when to do all of this with 1-on-1 personalized counseling.

I know from experience that every individual has a unique learning experience and I want to work together with my tutees to find the method that works best for them. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or want to schedule a meeting!
