Residency Advising

Matching into a competitive residency depends as much on strategy and positioning as it does on academic performance. This advising is led by the founder, who received interview offers from over 90% of the programs he applied to in one of the most competitive surgical specialties in the country, including institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, University of Pennsylvania, Emory, Baylor, and Washington University. Drawing from firsthand experience navigating a post–Step 1 pass/fail landscape, this service provides hands-on guidance in application strategy, program targeting, and interview preparation for competitive residency placement.

Individualized residency advising offered in 30- or 60-minute sessions for medical students at any stage of training. Sessions are tailored to the applicant’s goals, background, and timeline, with guidance spanning both immediate decisions and long-term planning.

Common topics include:

  • Specialty selection aligned with competitiveness and long-term career goals

  • Away rotation strategies

  • VSLO application editing

  • Research year planning

  • Strategies to strengthen applications for DO students, IMGs, and re-applicants

  • Dual specialty application

  • Couples matching

  • Letter of recommendation planning and timing

  • Developing residency personal statement narrative

  • General advising throughout medical school as needs arise

Applicants who establish a longitudinal advising relationship earlier in medical school typically experience the strongest outcomes.
