Extracurricular Advising
Grades and test scores matter, but they aren’t the whole story—your extracurriculars are what bring your application to life. They show admissions committees who you are beyond the classroom and help them understand your motivation for medicine, your leadership potential, and your commitment to serving others.
The problem is, many students don’t know how to turn their everyday experiences into meaningful application content, or they feel unsure about whether their activities are "enough." That’s where this service comes in.
Through a one-on-one advising session, we’ll review your current activities, identify any gaps, and help you create a strategic plan moving forward. We focus on quality over quantity and help you build a narrative that connects your experiences with the values medical schools care about most—things like empathy, teamwork, resilience, and service. Whether you're just getting started or preparing to write your activities section, we’ll work with you to clarify your direction and make the most of your time and energy.
You’ll receive:
A full review of your current extracurricular profile
Personalized recommendations for high-impact activities based on your goals and timeline
Guidance on clinical, research, volunteer, shadowing, and leadership opportunities
Strategies for documenting and tracking your hours
Optional advice on how to write about these activities when the time comes
This isn’t about overloading your schedule. It’s about helping you engage meaningfully with what matters to you—and making sure it translates clearly and powerfully when it’s time to apply.
