36 ACT, 521 MCAT, Duke BME Alum, Imperial College London MSc Student

Marissa S.

Hi! I'm Marissa, and I recently graduated from Duke University with a Biomedical Engineering major and a Chemistry minor. Currently, I am a student at Imperial College London doing a Master's in my gap year before medical school.

I self-studied for both the ACT and MCAT, achieving a perfect and 98th percentile score, respectively. I also successfully navigated undergraduate admissions and graduate admissions for top schools. I'm excited to help you reach your goals!

Here's a summary of my general methods (which I tailor to each student's needs!):

ACT/SAT:
- Diagnostic test walkthrough, defining your goals, and creating a dedicated study plan to achieve them!
- Content review and/or practice problem sessions with REAL ACT/SAT questions and individualized solution walkthroughs
- Practice tests to track your progress and build confidence under test-like conditions, with detailed breakdowns to improve upon strengths and weaknesses.
- Insights into my unique study strategies, including pattern recognition, pacing, and eliminating trap answers.
