When I had my first session with a BSMD Prep Counselor, I have to say I was a bit apprehensive about how unique his advice would be in comparison to everything I’d already heard about these programs. That quickly changed when I heard every nuance involved in effectively explaining the role of a doctor and why I wanted to be one. He helped me take my story and transform it into something brief that had clarity and character. Walking into my interviews I felt thoroughly prepared. I felt that I needed the most help with answering ethical questions and he showed me how to organize my process as if thinking I was out loud. I know this testimonial is extremely specific, but it goes to show how detail-oriented my counselor is and how much he will leave any student with a matured perspective of medicine. I will be attending the University of Pittsburgh GAP program (just like him), and I can’t thank him enough for his help in getting me there. - S.I.
