Personalized Guidance for Medical School Applications

Our medical school application consulting services specialize in helping students craft MD and DO applications through individualized mentorships.

How Does Medical School Application Consulting Work?

We like to think of ourselves as your mentor throughout your entire journey into medicine. We not only look at short term goals of getting into a medical school, but also how to get you into your dream specialty. Our services are rooted in getting to know our students individually. Application Architect is purposely kept as a small company so that Dr. Darlene can get to know you outside of your resume. Because your application should represent who you are, Dr. Darlene believes that she can only advise on creating a strong application when she understands her students holistically.

Your small team would be comprised of only physicians have successfully helped students get into medical school year after year. We would start with formulating an application strategy, before moving on to brainstorming/outlining or essay editing. Our editing process is different from most companies; we do not simply edit essays that you give us. We are very particular about the theme, style, structure, storytelling, and overall message of your essays.

We also offer services for Casper Test preparation and interview prep. Dr. Darlene is known by her students to be a tough interviewer because she wants her students to impress their medical school interviewers. Our interview prep sessions are not designed to just give you a feel for interviews. You will learn how to interpret any question and strategically answer them. Dr. Darlene has trained hundreds of students for interviews at the top programs and has specific strategies for MMI. As an Application Architect student, you will also receive exclusive materials with examples and insights into the application process to guide you throughout the entire process.
