Stanford MD, Harvard-MGH Residency. The most in-demand USMLE educator in the world, I help med students whose scores are stuck and who aren't sure how to improve. But it wasn't always that way. I got rejected from all of my top college choices. All but three med schools rejected my application. I cried in front of my first-year Stanford Med School class. Now, things are different. I scored 99.9%ile on Step 1 and graduated from Stanford Medical School, then Harvard-MGH for residency. I'm a Fulbright Grantee and an HHMI Fellow. Lectures I created in med school were featured in an opinion piece in the New England Journal of Medicine. If you're struggling, my story might help. And if you don’t know what you’re doing wrong, it could help you change your path. To learn more, be sure to subscribe and visit www.yousmle.com
