Hello! I'm Rianne (she/her), a second-year MD student at UBC. I know how overwhelming the medical school admissions process can be because I’ve been through it myself.

During my first application cycle, I faced rejection. Like many pre-med students, I felt discouraged—but instead of giving up, I took the time to analyze, refine, and strengthen my application. In my second cycle, with a more strategic approach and a stronger narrative, I was accepted to UBC! That experience taught me how important preparation, self-reflection, and mentorship are in this journey. Now, I want to help you craft an application that showcases your strengths and gives you the best chance of getting accepted.

How I Can Help You

• Application review & editing – Helping you craft an authentic, compelling narrative that highlights your strengths.
• MMI & interview prep – Developing structured, confident responses through mock interviews and targeted feedback.
• Strategic planning – Guiding you on extracurriculars, experiences, and coursework that make a meaningful impact.

Genuine Advice from My Experience

• Your story matters more than your stats. Med schools want to see how your experiences shaped your perspective and prepared you for medicine. Focus on storytelling rather than just listing accomplishments.
• Start early and seek mentorship. Having experienced guidance can help you avoid common pitfalls and make the application process less stressful.
• Quality over quantity in extracurriculars. Instead of doing everything, commit to a few meaningful activities that genuinely interest you and showcase leadership, commitment, and impact.
• Be adaptable. If you face rejection, take time to reflect and strengthen weak areas. Small changes can make a huge difference the second time around.
• Interview success is about preparation, not perfection. Medical interviews can be intimidating, but confidence comes from practice. Developing a strong framework for your answers will help you feel more in control.
