  • Gabe (University of Michigan Medical School)

    "I wanted to share the great news I received this morning that I was accepted to [X] Medical School!! I am beyond ecstatic and relieved to be accepted to medical school, especially at an early stage in the process. Thank you so much for your commitment to helping me feel confident and prepared throughout the application process. I could not have done it without your help!!"

  • Brianca (Noorda COM)

    "Dr. Marina helped me with every aspect of the application. It was hard for me to talk about myself and put my thoughts together as to clearly explain why I wanted to become a doctor. Dr. Marina was readily available to help and gave great feedback and edits so that I knew exactly what I needed to rewrite and focus my thoughts on for my experiences/ activities section as well. I literally would not have even gotten an interviews if I did not have her help. I am greatly appreciative of this program."

  • Elene (Texas Tech El Paso Paul L. Foster SOM)

    "I matched to my second choice medical school! I wanted to express my gratitude to you and this program that has helped me so much with the whole process. Your resources have been helpful in so many ways and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to use them."

  • Saramarie (University of Oklahoma SOCM)

    “The Application Coaching Program from Future Minority Doctor was an essential part in successfully applying to medical school. I applied to the program at a time where I was mentally struggling, but having personal cheerleaders such as Dr. Marina enabled me to go into the application process with confidence. Having the application compartmentalized in presentations and one-on-ones with Dr. Marina made the application process less daunting and much more feasible!”
