About Andrew
A bilingual Montreal medical student with a practical admissions lens.
Andrew brings a current student perspective to the parts of the process that can feel vague: what makes a file coherent, how experiences should connect, and how to prepare for questions that are meant to test judgment rather than memorized answers.
Sessions are personal, direct, and adapted to your stage. The goal is not to make your file sound generic. It is to make your choices, story, and preparation easier to understand.
If this year did not work
Use the next months with intention.
If you have already graduated or are between cycles, Andrew can help you choose work, volunteering, study, and other experiences that are more than filler and actually support the next version of your application.
Start with one conversation
Bring the file, the doubts, and the timeline.
Andrew will help you turn them into a sharper admissions plan. Form responses go to support@whitecoatguidance.com.
