Why Choose To Work With Us If You Need Help On Your MedLife Journey: Reason 1
We all ACTUALLY struggled in our journey

NONE of us were "naturals" who have gone through this journey with ease and barely any prep. No one becomes a mentor with us just because of they score well on the MCAT or get accepted into medical school. If they can't relate to your experience, how can they truly help you? We all have memories of scary MCAT prep and med-school application moments where scores were lower than we expected and had to deal with rejection. Many of us have memories of literally breaking down during moments of failure and rejection, wondering if we were cut out to be doctors. We had to push through it all. Alone.

We had to figure out the most efficient methods for EVERYTHING from creating schedules/study plans, to memorizing content, understanding it all deeply, thinking critically when it comes to passages, improving our timing/stamina and SO much more. We spent way too much time figuring out how to study effectively, as we struggled through this journey alone.  You don't have to.

Olivia Paraschos

Meet Olivia

Olivia scored a 523 on her MCAT and has been highly successful in securing interviews from many of her top-choice schools.

She has also received acceptances from the University of Chicago (Pritzker), Northwestern, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), Duke, Emory, the University of Virginia (UVA), Boston University (BU), Saint Louis University (SLU), and Loyola University Chicago (Stritch).

Olivia hopes to matriculate to a Top 30 research program, as research funding and opportunities are especially important to her!

Why Choose To Work With Us If You Need Help: Reason 2
We are determined and specialize in getting you to your goals FAST

We don't want to work with you any more than you need us. We want to help as many students as possible, not the same students as much as possible. Which means the faster we can get you to your med-school goals, the faster we can help someone else. We don't try to get you to keep paying us. Which is also why for the MCAT and your applications, we like to get straight to STRATEGY. You can learn 'the basics' on your own through many free videos available. Your time spent with us will be most valuable when we 1) diagnose your current habits, your mindset, find your highest  areas for improvement that will get you to achieve your goals and 2) SHOW you exactly how to improve, even if that means giving you an inside-look into our thought process for how we approach specific sections, so you can literally just copy that and absorb the correct way of thinking. 

Ready to meet your MedLife Mastery Mentor? We're excited to start helping you reach your goal of becoming a doctor!

Why Choose To Work With Us: Reason 3
We pride ourselves on offering truly affordable coaching in a space that takes advantage of premeds

We're students too. We have debt too. We had to pay ridiculous amounts for prep material for an exam we were forced to take too. Bluntly put, it's not right that we feel like we have NO choice but to pay extreme amounts just to get help for pieces to the med-school journey that literally determine our future. We've done our absolute best to keep our services and products as affordable as possible, while maintaining quality of help. This is a result of future doctors helping future doctors, not self-proclaimed "experts" and established doctors "helping" premeds. Clearly we're passionate about this and if you are too, we're a great fit for each other.

We all take turns sending some of our best tips and strategies to the 10,000+ future doctors in our free community! Join us below =)
