- Parents' Corner

Over the past decade as a medical admissions advisor and consultant, I have witnessed how being the parent of an applicant can be just as stressful as being the actual applicant. Parents of applicants often struggle with supporting their child during the complex admissions process without being overbearing. You may feel overwhelmed by the numerous steps and extensive essay writing required for medical school admissions.

Perhaps you are frustrated by the lack of personalized advising at your child’s undergraduate institution where advisors often serve hundreds of applicants. MDadmit is dedicated to providing the personalized strategic advice, application and essay editing, and mock interviews to help your daughter or son through the often-daunting admissions process.
Many of my MDadmit clients come through parents who learn of MDadmit through friends, colleagues, or the Internet. I am more than happy to speak with you about our services and how we can work together to help your daughter or son gain acceptance to medical school, post-baccalaureate programs, or residency. When you call the MDadmit office at 415.939.5251, you will be connected directly to me. If you obtain voicemail, please leave a message and I will return your call within 24 business hours. You can also send an e-mail to

which I will answer personally.
If you are the parent of a medical school applicant looking for detailed, step-by-step admissions advice, I suggest reading my latest book – The Medical School Admissions Guide: A Harvard MD’s Week-by-Week Admissions Handbook. After one read of this admissions guide, you will know more about medical school admissions than any parent on the block! To purchase Dr. Miller’s book, please click here.
I look forward to connecting with you and helping your child achieve her or his dreams!
Sincerely,
 Dr. Suzanne M. Miller |
