Ryan Mitchell
Pre-med admissions is its own game. I help future doctors tell the story of their commitment to medicine in a way that stands out — before medical school even begins.
About Ryan
My path to UC San Diego started with a single hospital volunteering shift freshman year that turned into a 600-hour commitment over four years. That consistency — showing up, doing unglamorous work, and genuinely caring about patients — became the backbone of my application.
I work primarily with students interested in pre-med, global health, and science-focused programs. I understand the pressure of balancing rigorous coursework with meaningful clinical experience, and I know how to help you frame your path in a way that resonates with admissions readers. Whether you're applying to UCSD, UCLA, or Johns Hopkins, I'll help you build an application that feels authentic and complete.

Student Reviews
Ryan understood exactly what pre-med admissions readers are looking for. He helped me weave my clinical experience and my personal story into something cohesive that I'm genuinely proud of.
I had so much clinical volunteer work but didn't know how to write about it without sounding like a resume. Ryan helped me find the emotional core of my experience and build the essay around that.
Ryan's mock interview session was the best prep I could have asked for. He challenged my answers in a way that made me think deeper about why I actually want to be a doctor.
