Honest. Personal. One of a kind.

Starting a business in medical school sounded crazy until it didn't.

I kept watching friends apply. Some of them had incredible MCAT scores. But the rejections and reapplications kept coming in. I knew there was something missing, so I started digging.

I looked at the other medical school application companies, from Kaplan down to the smallest ones, and I spoke to people who had actually used pre-medical advising. I heard their complaints and I saw what was missing. Then I sought to build a company to fill in the gaps.

I wanted honesty to be at the forefront of everything. I did not want my clients clicking through ten buttons and getting excited about a service, just to find out it costs $12,000.

I wanted it to be personal. I have handwritten letters to clients in the past, and we seek to have an ongoing relationship with everyone we serve.

And most importantly, I want it to be one of a kind. From Cosmos to Guardian Angel, these are services you will not see anywhere else.

Since I started Philippians, my team and I have served many clients. When I am not doing my clinical duties, I love hearing people's stories and their journeys before applying. I also do talks at college campuses to pre-meds and give tips for getting into medical school. It is getting more and more competitive, but when you have the right help, it is very possible.

I know it is a tough process, but sometimes all you need is that helping hand to get you through it. That is why I started Philippians.
