The Team

Vikram Srinath (Co-Founder, Head Consultant): After helping friends excel on the MCAT and get into medical school for free, I hope to share my skills with a wider network of pre-meds. I've helped past medical school applicants achieve 100th percentile MCAT scores, ace their interviews, and write compelling essays to gain acceptance into their top-choice schools.
As a current first-year medical student at the University of Virginia Medical School, I hope to eventually specialize in psychiatry. In my free time, you can find me volunteering with the Crisis Text Line as a Crisis Counselor, watching LeBron James highlights, or playing basketball with my buddies.Accomplishments:
- 8 medical school interviews (Including T5) -> 4 acceptances (Including two T30s)
- 522 MCAT, 3.97 GPA
- Trustee Scholar at Boston University (Human Physiology with Minor in Classical Civilization)

I’ve guided students into top-tier universities like Princeton, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, and Wharton, and helped young professionals land roles at Y Combinator-backed startups and major firms. Whether it’s brainstorming the perfect personal statement, preparing for tough interviews, or refining the “Why medicine?” essay, I’m here to help you bring clarity, confidence, and authenticity to your application.Accomplishments:
