Hi, my name is Chumeng! I am a fourth-year medical student at Dell Medical School and am currently pursuing a Master's in Public Health. Prior to medical school, I attended UT Austin, where I majored in Public Health and minored in business.

Weill Cornell Medicine
Hi! My name is Jackie and I am an MD-PhD student in the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program. I was born and raised in New Jersey and I earned my bachelors degree at Rutgers University - New Brunswick, where I graduated as valedictorian. During my first year of undergrad, I began working in a behavioral neuroscience lab and developed my passion for research. Then when COVID-19 hit and my lab closed, I gained an interest in medicine, volunteering as a COVID-19 test kit processor and serving as a counselor on Crisis Text Line. Joining research and medicine through an MD-PhD program seemed like the perfect fit for me, and I completed my MD-PhD application cycle while working as a postbac at the NIH.

Hi! My name is Rachel and I will be an M1 at Pritzker School of Medicine starting August 2026. I graduated from Cornell University in 2024, where I competed on the gymnastics team. I also tutored students at Cornell in biology, physics, chemistry and neuroscience and worked as a TA for neuroscience and psychology courses. I spent three years as a research assistant in Cornell’s Laboratory for Rational Decision-Making on the Health and Medical Decision-Making team and worked at Chicago Medical School in the Brain Science Institute. After graduation, I took two gap years and spent most of my time working as an EMT. I was fortunate to have a had successful application cycle myself, scoring a 520 on the MCAT, receiving 18 interviews and ultimately being accepted to 11 MD programs, including 4 T20 schools.
I’m excited to meet you and help you navigate your own successful application process. What I value most about Motivate MD is our holistic and comprehensive approach to advising. I feel strongly that every student has a unique story to tell, and look forward to helping you to authentically represent yourself. I am here to support you through every step of the journey, from MCAT preparation to developing a compelling personal narrative and finally presenting your best self during interview day.

Shree D.
Advisor · Editor · Interview Coach · Tutor
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
Hi! I'm a medical student at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health with academic backgrounds in Biology and Art History. I am deeply passionate about approaching medicine through a humanistic lens, combining science and empathy to better understand and serve patients.
As an undergraduate, I supported fellow students through a Peer Mentoring Program focused on assisting first, second, and transfer-year Biology majors. I also served on the HOSA board, mentoring pre-med students navigating the path to medical school. During my gap year, I worked as a medical assistant in a reproductive endocrinology and infertility clinic, gaining valuable clinical experience and insight into patient care.
As a reapplicant I understand the stress and uncertainty that can come with the medical school admissions process. As a mentor, my goal is to ease that burden by offering support, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way.

Inside a session
Inside a Motivate MD MCAT Tutoring Session
Each session is tailored to your specific MCAT goals. Whether that’s content review, test-taking strategies, or a combination of both.
How it works
Session by session.
Structure will depend on where you need help the most, but a rough outline would look something like this…
First Session – Review your MCAT history to identify strengths and weaknesses, then create a detailed game plan. The goal of this first session is to develop a clear, personalized daily, weekly, and monthly study schedule tailored to your needs.
Second Session – Go over strong CARS strategies that we will revisit throughout your MCAT prep. These strategies will help you improve reading comprehension, critical thinking, and analytical skills, which are key for tackling CARS passages.
Third Session and Beyond – Turn content weaknesses into strengths. Throughout your time with us, you and your tutor will use a Tracker, a tool designed to help you both maximize your study efforts and adapt as needed over time.
Final Session – We’ll discuss test day strategies and ways to manage test-day anxiety. This meeting is all about building excitement and confidence, ensuring you’re ready to see all of your hard work pay off when it’s time to take the test.
Continued Support – When your tutoring sessions with our team come to an end, it doesn’t mean our support ends! We’re here for you every step of the way and are happy to continue supporting you on your journey to becoming a physician.
