Angel

MCAT Score: 521

Education: Johns Hopkins University, B.S. in Neuroscience (Systems)

Angel has always had a passion for breaking down the most complex of terms and concepts into simple and digestible forms. Her first introduction to teaching was in 2017, her junior year of high school, helping her classmates and friends in her college level anatomy/physiology and microbiology courses to memorize and understand the extensive, often overwhelming, information. Her approach has always been to relate the topic to something the person was interested in or passionate about that didn’t directly pertain to the subject of study. Into her undergraduate studies, she continued her freelance tutoring in her neuroscience classes, always aiming to make the most effective, though often comical, connections between the subject matter and something guaranteed not to leave your head. Angel spent about 4.5 months studying for the MCAT. These 4.5 months spanned the spring semester of her junior year in college. While also working in two neuroscience research labs, she learned the importance of balancing her schedule and using her daily life of intensive school and academia to her advantage, ensuring that even while she wasn’t actively studying, she was passively relating her daily experiences to MCAT fundamentals to build deeper connections. From her initial diagnostic exam, Angel had a 5-point increase in every section of the MCAT. When it comes to the MCAT, her motto is “nothing is ever too hard, and everything is interconnected.” Angel especially enjoys the puzzle analogy for the MCAT, looking at every question as fitting in with another. Outside of teaching, Angel is an extensive neuroscience researcher, working as a research technician in a pediatric neurosurgery lab, a volunteer crisis counselor, and a neuroscience enthusiast (frequently volunteering in retirement homes and explaining concepts of memory to elderly people). A self-care aficionado, Angel spends her free time doing yoga and Pilates, most often while doing a face mask."See more
