Case Studies - Real Applicants, Real Success:
Medical School & BS/MD Admissions 

See how strategic advising transformed applicants into successful medical school and BS/MD admits. Each case study highlights key challenges, expert interventions, and remarkable outcomes.

1

Turning a Strong Academic Record into a Cohesive Application Narrative

Strong academics alone do not define a physician’s future. This applicant combined public health training, targeted clinical experience, and outcomes-driven research to build a physician-investigator identity aligned with OB-GYN and population health. See how strategic storytelling and school selection led to multiple acceptances at Top 10, Top 15, and Top 25 medical schools.

2

From Re-applicant With Multiple Waitlist Offers to a Future Doctor

Strong stats and interviews are meaningless without narrative clarity. This reapplicant had prior interviews but no acceptances due to an unfocused story and a misaligned school list. Learn how narrative realignment, interview recalibration, and mission-driven school selection transformed a failed cycle into multiple MD offers.

3

BS/MD Applicant With Low Initial SAT Accepted to Elite Programs

A 1340 SAT is not the end of the BS/MD road. This high school applicant dramatically rebuilt their profile through targeted shadowing, publishable research, leadership tied to a specific disease focus, and a 190-point SAT increase. Discover how early strategy and intentional experience-building led to acceptances at multiple top BS/MD programs.

4

International Applicant Educated in Canada Accepted to Top U.S. MD Programs

An elite MCAT score is not enough for international applicants. This case shows how a Chinese citizen educated in Canada overcame international status, limited clinical exposure, and a restricted school pool to earn multiple Top 25 U.S. MD acceptances. Learn how targeted clinical positioning, a defensible “Why the U.S.” narrative, and disciplined school selection turned a high-risk application into a success.

5

Research-Heavy Applicant With Limited Clinical and Service Experience

Multiple publications do not guarantee MD acceptances. This applicant entered the cycle with world-class glioblastoma research but minimal clinical and service experience and a serious “Why not PhD?” problem. See how reframing research around patient care, adding intentional clinical exposure, and restructuring interviews led to multiple Top 10 and Top 25 MD acceptances.

6

BS MD Applicant With Strong Activities but No Cohesive Narrative

Many BS/MD applicants have research, volunteering, and clinical exposure. Few can explain why it matters. This case follows an applicant who initially blended into the crowd despite strong credentials, then discovered a personal medical narrative and rebuilt their activities around it. Learn how narrative coherence, not résumé padding, led to BS/MD success.
