“Over the past year, I have worked with Dr. Emil Chuck, who advised and helped me throughout the medical school application process.
Dr. Chuck always addressed every concern I had very granularly and partnered with me to devise a strategy for approaching each potential misstep in my application. We would then follow up a few weeks later, discuss the outcomes of said events, and strategize to help continue the momentum – ultimately making my application the best version it could be.ÂI was accepted to two medical schools. All of this would not have been possible without the advising services offered by Dr. Chuck.”
