Hello VTKSA students!

I'm Dr. Jae-Kyun Ko from Med School Solutions. I have served as an Assistant Professor at Ohio State University School of Medicine, where I also worked as a medical school screener, responsible for evaluating and scoring medical school applications. Recently, I relocated to Georgia and started a molecular biology service company, which is my original business, and also started medical school admissions consulting.

A screener is a small number of qualified professors who are selected from the faculty of medical schools to review and evaluate medical school applications directly. For reference, in the case of Ohio State University College of Medicine, about 50 screener professors out of a total of over a thousand professors are responsible for medical school admissions each year.

During my time as a screener, I gained valuable insights into the evaluation criteria and preparation strategies for medical school admissions.  Now I am providing consulting services based on this critical knowledge.

The most surprising thing is that the scoring criteria and scoring methods for medical school admissions are carried out in a very detailed, systematic, and objective system in accordance with the guidelines of the AAMC, unlike what is known to the public by many consultants or YouTube/Google. This system is commonly used by most medical schools. Even more surprising is that more than 90% of applicants do not even get an interview opportunity because they submit applications that are not in line with this scoring system, not because of competition.

To succeed in medical school admissions, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of the evaluation process and approach it strategically. Based on my experience as a screener, I aim to provide priceless information and personalized advice to help students create competitive applications and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors.

Due to the sensitive nature of admissions evaluation information, it is challenging to share it with the public openly. Therefore, I am initially focusing on promoting my services within the Korean community, with a particular emphasis on Korean students in the Atlanta area. I hope to become a valuable resource for the Atlanta community and encourage anyone with questions or those interested in scheduling a consultation to reach out to me. I also offer free consultations.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jae-Kyun (James) Ko
