Testimonials
“Sherise brought invaluable experience to her review and workshopping of my medical school application. I credit her advising for helping me get interviews on my first application cycle (and multiple acceptances). Beyond all of that, I always felt like Sherise was truly invested in me. She would check in with me outside of our advising sessions; celebrate my wins with me; and willingly help me brainstorm ways to expand and refine my application, secondaries, and follow up letters. Prior to working with sherise I was under the mentorship and advising of multiple other highly experienced advisors through both my undergraduate institution and career-changer post bac, Sherise brought a whole new energy and approach to this process. I felt believed in and truly uplifted by her. Thank you for everything Sherise.”

“Overall, Sherise is a divine and highly experienced strategist, an exceptional essay editor, and a comprehensive interview coach. She is direct and to the point, all while being the funniest and kindest advisor I have ever worked with (and she will actually email you back).
She has been instrumental in framing my academics and experiences in a way that gives them the weight and clarity needed to stand out in the application pool. More importantly, she’s helped me grow as a pre-medical student to the point where I can now clearly and confidently articulate my motivations and interests in becoming a physician. Suffice it to say, Sherise is one of the reasons I have a direct, aspirational outlook on my future as a physician as a second-year college student.
I’m confident in saying that it is her communication that sets her apart. She is honest, responsive, and genuinely, personally invested in my success, expressing palpable investment in my future as an aspiring physician. At the same time, she is optimistic, but never at the expense of telling you exactly what you need to hear to improve, and she has decades of experience in pre-med advising to back her up.
It is through her guidance that I secured an interview with the Boston University School of Medicine’s MMEDIC Early Assurance Program, and I’m eternally grateful to continue working with her throughout the interview process.”

“When I first decided to pursue the pre-medical track, I had little understanding of the rigor it required and limited prior career guidance. Sherise was one of the first people to guide me on the path to medicine, and she became my primary mentor at Health Professions Advising both during my time at Princeton and after I graduated. Her honesty pushed me to come prepared, reflect deeply, and strengthen my application in ways I wouldn’t have on my own. Although my timeline shifted, I ultimately applied feeling confident and well-prepared—and now I’m thriving in medical school, studying what I love.
Applying to medical school is a stressful and daunting process. You need someone to have your back and to help you make difficult decisions on the road to M.D. She was integral to my experience, and I am so thankful to have had her support. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about becoming the best doctor they can be!”

"Sherise was a huge supporter of my journey to medical school. After expressing that I planned to take at least one glide year between undergrad and med school, she helped me weigh the complexities of choosing what to do during that time. When it was time to work on my applications, she was there with me every step of the way. She read and revised each portion of my application multiple times, ensured that the entire application was clear and organized, and kept me on track with deadlines. I am very appreciative of Sherise and can affirm that she is a wonderful resource for premedical students."

“During my time working with Sherise, her support was genuinely foundational in helping me navigate the medical school application process. As a first-generation student and a Black woman pursuing medicine, there’s a level of uncertainty and pressure that isn’t always visible, and having guidance from someone who understands that from lived experience made a real difference. It wasn’t just about editing or strategy, it was about feeling seen and supported in a process that can otherwise feel isolating. Sherise brought both honesty and intention to her feedback, and helped me approach my story with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.”
