Hi! I'm Diana, a 3rd-year MD/PhD student at Penn. I attended NYU for my undergraduate studies in biology and spent two gap years in a research lab at the NIH. Throughout my training, I've assisted students in both mentoring and academic aspects. I also just took USMLE Step 1 and passed with only 4 weeks of dedicated study time, so I can chat about how to study for the exam effectively and efficiently with limited time, and also how to boost your score up fast. I can also help with MCAT...
Hi! I'm Diana, a 3rd-year MD/PhD student at Penn. I attended NYU for my undergraduate studies in biology and spent two gap years in a research lab at the NIH. Throughout my training, I've assisted students in both mentoring and academic aspects. I also just took USMLE Step 1 and passed with only 4 weeks of dedicated study time, so I can chat about how to study for the exam effectively and efficiently with limited time, and also how to boost your score up fast. I can also help with MCAT studying, especially for the science sections. I took the MCAT in 2021 and was able to get 129-130 in all my science categories with an overall score of 514. Lastly, I can help with anything related to applying to med school or grad school (MD, MD/PhD, or PhD). I have mentored countless students by helping with making a school list, essay writing, and interviews. My mentees have been able to get into great places like Baylor, Cleveland Clinic, and MIT. In terms of how I teach, it's usually helpful to have one on one meetings and focus on one skill at a time.
