Our Philosophy is Based on These Principles

WE TAKE YOUR PASSIONS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

What are you passionate about? Our team will work with you to develop your interests and pursue research, organizations, and internships where you can develop them. Our students become leaders and experts in specific fields. 

WE REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU

Don’t be surprised when you receive inspirational text messages, internship ideas, and “CONGRATULATIONS!” from us. We are your cheerleaders and shoulders to cry on (literally). We will help you every step of the way. 

PERSONALIZED APPROACH

Each student has a unique story to tell. Our applicants submit unique essays and activities, which lead to getting into their dream medical schools.

QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY

We have high standards for ourselves. That’s why you know you are working with the best medical school admissions advisers. Our coaching, essay editing, and interview prepping is top notch. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Rishi Mediratta or Dr. Rachel Rizal will be your premed coaches. We love mentoring and we view ourselves as your mentors for life! 🙂 Many of our students who work with us are still in touch with us years later. We’ve helped students apply to college, medical school, and residency. 

Each premed advising session is tailored to whatever you want to discuss and what topics are most pertinent at the given time of your premed journey.

Some common topics we discuss with our mentees:

  • Development of medical school application strategy
  • Applications for internships, scholarships, and fellowships
  • Letter of recommendation planning and strategy
  • Boosting and improving extracurricular activities, including leadership within each activity
  • Academic class scheduling
  • Medical school application timeline planning

Again, we’ve advised students with an array of topics.  These are only the most common premed topics we discussed, but each session will be personalized to what you need. 

Once you purchase a premed advising package, we’ll contact you directly over email to schedule our conversation.  Typically, advising sessions are conducted over video chat or FaceTime.  If schedules align, it may be possible to schedule an in-person advising session with Dr. Mediratta in the San Francisco Bay Area (near Stanford) or Dr. Rachel Rizal in Boston.

Email us at info@crackingmedadmissions.com to schedule a specific date and time for your premed advising meeting.  

Most of our premed advising meetings are successfully conducted over video chat. If Drs. Mediratta and Rizal are available in the San Francisco Bay Area and Boston, respectively, then we may be able to schedule an in-person premed advising session with you. 

Real Student Testimonials

our premed mentees
"Thank you so much for all your help this past year. Your ideas are so out-of-the-box and you guys helped me improve my activities to levels I did not even imagine. I'm glad at all the impact I've had in my community."
MeganStudent at Duke University
Dr. Rizal is different than any other Professor I've talked to. Because she was a med student and resident herself, she has given me the insights of what medicine is really like. I can talk to her about life in general and she answers all my pre-med questions in a straightforward manner. It's clear how I can take the next steps to improve my overall resume. Additionally, she's extremely reflective and honest with her feedback.
JasonStudent at Columbia University
Briana found your advising session extremely helpful! We tried other premed advisers but they did not go into the specificity of which classes to take and HOW to start getting involved with extracurricular activities. We look forward to working with you this upcoming year!
PriscillaParent of premed at UCLA
"THANK YOU for ALL your help the other day! I now have a plan for asking my recommenders and a timeline with when I need to finish my personal statement by."
ShaneCurrent non-traditional premed applicant
"Before I met the Cracking Med School Admissions team, I had a very strong GPA at UC Berkeley but no extracurricular activities. I am interested in neurology, and through my advising sessions, I am now in a research lab and volunteering in an Alzheimer's Care Center.
