Hello! My name is Jaefer and I am a medical student at Western Ontario. Before medical school, I did an undergrad and master's at the University of Windsor. I applied to 5 Ontario Medical Schools and 1 Quebec Medical School during my fourth year and unfortunately did not hear back. I took this as an opportunity to review my application, talk to mentors, and identify strengths and weaknesses to grow for the next cycle.

Hello! My name is Jaefer and I am a medical student at Western Ontario. Before medical school, I did an undergrad and master's at the University of Windsor. I applied to 5 Ontario Medical Schools and 1 Quebec Medical School during my fourth year and unfortunately did not hear back. I took this as an opportunity to review my application, talk to mentors, and identify strengths and weaknesses to grow for the next cycle. The second time around, I was fortunate enough to get 3 interviews, at Western, McGill and Ottawa, with acceptances at all 3. I have also written Casper twice, achieving a Q4 both times. I hope to use the lessons I learned in both cycles to help you get where you want to be.

A little bit about me – I have a diverse background in both academics and extracurricular activities. I love soccer and have been a soccer match official since 2016, officiating at varsity and semi-pro levels. My passion for sports extends to karate and swimming, where I received a black belt in Karate and became a national lifeguard, respectively. These sports have allowed me to grow and make many great friends around the province. Outside of sports, I love music, movies and video games.

My previous work as a high school and university tutor, a teaching assistant at the University, a swimming instructor and a karate instructor have equipped me with a passion for teaching and mentoring others. As I embark on this new teaching adventure, I look forward to assisting you in every step of your upcoming cycle. Whether it be brainstorming, application editing, CASPER preparation, and interview prep (MMI or panel), I hope to ensure you feel ready to tackle the next steps in your application process! Please do not hesitate to message me so I can learn about you, your needs and answer any questions you may have!
