Our impact
Guidance you can measure.
Our educational presentations cover the medical-school application process end to end — personal statements, extracurriculars, interviews, and strategies for a competitive application. We measure what changes, using pre- and post-presentation surveys rated on a 1–10 scale.
By the numbers
Reach, and results.
Presentation outcomes
Before and after our sessions.
Participants rate their knowledge and confidence before and after each presentation. The gains are consistent and significant — a clear signal that accessible guidance works.
Familiarity with the application process
Confidence in building a competitive application
Group averages on a 1–10 scale from a December 2025 pilot — 29 pre- and 30 post-presentation responses from roughly 60 high-school students. Both gains were statistically significant (p < 0.001) with very large effect sizes. Motivation, already high on entry (4.7 → 5.6), did not shift meaningfully — the longer-term outcome our one-on-one mentorship is built to grow.
The whole room moved — not just the average
Averages can hide as much as they reveal. These mirrored plots show the full spread of ratings across the 1–10 scale: green bars above the line are the after responses, sage bars below are before. For familiarity and confidence the entire distribution slides right; for motivation the two halves look nearly like mirror images.

Motivation
Little shift
Familiarity and confidence don't just rise on average — almost the entire room moves up the scale, with the “after” distribution clearing the “before.” Motivation, already high on entry, barely shifts.

Backed by research
Our outcomes are becoming a study.
We're formalizing our pre/post survey results into a pilot study for peer-reviewed publication — rigorously analyzing the gains in student knowledge and confidence so the impact is documented, not just felt.
