About
The decision to become a doctor is exciting, the application process is competitive, my professional guidance is Vital.
My Mission
Providing future physicians valuable insight and guidance to forge their own path to medical school and embark upon a successful career in medicine.
My Background
I am an accomplished admissions advisor with many years of medical school admissions experience. I’ve worked alongside the admissions team of an elite medical school and have (current) firsthand knowledge of what admissions desire in an applicant. My experience on the inside of an admissions team, offers an edge very few professionals in this industry have.
My professional journey started as a Corporate Psychologist (MS) with a Fortune 500 company where I incorporated the study of social intelligence (IA) and talent selection. Mastering an admissions interview is equal parts art and science. I know the art and science behind a successful interview. More importantly, I know how to coach my clients for success.
I received my second (MS) in Counseling Psychology and worked with students as a Career Counselor. My individualized approach and client centric attitude, help alleviate the stress in the application process. I care about my client’s mental health and wellbeing throughout the application process. Creating a healthy, happy, and effective future Physician is vital.
My passion for both Corporate (IA) and my desire to champion future generations of students, was a natural progression for my success today.

Affiliations & Testimonials
Dhruv F.
“Vital’s interview coaching is a must! My son was strong on paper but lacked a charismatic presence in person. Amy’s techniques for interview coaching were professionally based and my son learned an important lifelong skill that will endure. The ability to be relatable and likable is difficult for some, especially when they are in a stressful interview situation. Amy was able to circumnavigate his fears and help him walk into his interviews with confidence.
Priceless for this father.”

“I don’t think I would have been accepted to medical school without Amy’s guidance. She really helped me to focus on what’s important, beginning in my freshman year in college, so that when I did apply, I’d already be a solid candidate.”
Thomas M.
“Neither my husband or I have a medical background so helping our daughter navigate the process of applying to medical school was very unfamilar. Amy was the best investment. She provided incredible insight and guidance.”
