Meera
Elite App Assembly | Vanderbilt + Emory + BU BS/MD
Insight: Meera had volunteer hours, leadership in HOSA, and top grades—but struggled to stand out from the sea of pre-meds. Her story lacked a personal “why.” In just 10 weeks, we helped her find it—and build a cohesive app around it.
Strategy & Execution
Narrative Discovery
Conducted two empathy-mapping workshops; surfaced her grandmother’s Parkinson’s journey as the emotional through-line.
BS/MD Strategy
Crafted school-specific secondary essays, each ending with a patient-impact vignette; built a spreadsheet tracking 47 essay prompts and deadlines.
Research & Clinical
Secured a neurogenetics slot; designed a micro-study on gait analysis, resulting in a poster at a regional AMSA conference.
Mock Interviews
Ran eight station scenarios (confidentiality, resource allocation, cultural humility) with timed feedback and rubric scoring.
