Work with mentors focused on excellent, compassionate, individually tailored mentorship.

I had my first meeting with Steven and he was awesome. I feel so much better about applying and he gave great advice. Just a big thank you!! 

I can't say enough great things about Project SHORT. It's where I found my my first MD/PhD mentor and he has met and exceeded my expectations. 

Thank you so much! This just made my day. I have been having the hardest time trying to figure out which schools and programs are best for me and with the overall process as a whole. I have been trying to get guidance at school, but their response is always to search it up online. You have saved my life! 

Matthew was a H U G E help. He went through my essays in a quick but thorough manor and really helped me understand what I was lacking. I think we completely re-wrote two of them. The new ones Matthew helped me with sound so much better. I still can't believe this was completely free.

Project SHORT helped me through last minute mock interviews, which was extremely helpful for my actual interviewing. I happened across this initiative on a whim and consider myself very lucky to have done so. Thank you so much!

Project SHORT was incredibly helpful with ensuring I was prepared for my individual/panel interviews in addition to the MMIs. Specifically, I worked with Marina, who was very kind and helpful and without a doubt played a role in what was a very successful interviewing season. Thank you!
