Medical Admissions Consulting

Michelle FinkelPut an Admissions Insider
on Your Side.

Dr. Michelle Finkel, a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Medical School, founded Insider Medical Admissions as a way of leveling the playing field for applicants to selective medical programs. As the former Assistant Residency Director for the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency, Dr. Finkel repeatedly observed candidates who undermined their chances of success with poorly compiled application materials, underdeveloped personal statements and inadequate interview skills.

During her tenure as an admissions officer, Dr. Finkel reviewed countless applications, personal statements and resumes. She interviewed applicants and made key decisions influencing their ultimate acceptance or rejection. For over nine years Dr. Finkel trained medical students, residents and fellows, yielding her three Harvard Medical School faculty teaching and mentorship awards.

Now you can harness Dr. Finkel’s expertise to enhance your application and interview skills. Dr. Finkel personally reviews every client’s written materials. She conducts every Mock Interview and Strategy Session herself. Dr. Finkel knows what admissions committees are seeking and will help you market yourself accordingly.

Insider Medical Admissions is committed to maintaining client confidentiality.

Put a former Harvard admissions insider to work for you and optimize your chances of success.
