Grateful to have worked with Dr. Barry Rothman!
I began working with Dr. Barry Rothman after my unsuccessful first attempt at applying to medical school. Unsure how to best strengthen my case before re-applying, I had an initial call with Dr. Rothman, where he already began giving me targeted feedback on my past application. Through Zoom calls where he asked about my background, motivation for going into medicine, and goals, he gave me tailored advice that would help me grow not only as an applicant, but also a person. Over the past two years, he has helped me select a new clinical job and volunteer position, advised me about the best graduate courses to take, and patiently fielded my questions through Zoom and e-mail. We crafted a list of schools I would apply to, refined multiple drafts of my application and personal statement, and practiced various styles of interviewing. Above all, he challenged me to think about who I was, the world around me, and what kind of impact I want to leave behind. I will always be grateful for the personalized, comprehensive guidance Dr. Rothman provided. He was truly committed to my success and well-being, and I am so glad we had the chance to work together before my journey to medical school began. I highly recommend Dr. Rothman for those who want to put their best foot forward under the guidance of a patient, thorough, and kind advisor!
