Hey there! I’m Aaron. I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, where I majored in computer science and developed a strong interest in medicine.
As a first-generation student, I understand the challenges of navigating the college process without access to many resources. I had to figure out every aspect myself, from financial aid to writing essays for the Common Application. I spent countless hours mastering the entire process. Despite the obstacles, I maintained a positive attitude and persevered, determined to achieve my educational goals.
This journey instilled in me a deep commitment to helping other students in similar situations. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and providing support to ensure that they, too, can access higher education and achieve their dreams.
Hi, I’m Kale, I am a graduate from Washington University in St. Louis with a major in cognitive neuroscience and a minor in anthropology. I am an incoming medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I have 5 years of experience working with college applicants - I specialize in essay writing and editing. Part of my aspirations for volunteerism stems from my medical NGO in Kenya, where I developed an education curriculum for the purpose of teaching STEM and English to students with cerebral palsy. My goal is for each student to have equitable access to education by providing them with the resources necessary to facilitate their transition to university and beyond.
Hello, my name is Ashtin. I’m currently a business student at Indiana University studying corporate innovation and technology management.
Having personally experienced the demands of figuring out the college process, I have seen firsthand how challenging it can be. I am deeply passionate about raising awareness for mental health and know how much the process can take a toll on a student’s mental health. I have extensive experience working one-on-one with students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds throughout high school. I have always been passionate working with underserved communities. At Without Hurdles, I aim to leverage my skills to perform outreach and make higher education more accessible for students everywhere!
Hey guys! My name is Dilan. I am currently a first-year medical student at Kansas City University.
Being a pre-med can definitely feel like an insurmountable task at times. From managing studying for your core classes while taking the MCAT to navigating the application process, I remember feeling extremely overwhelmed about how I was going to complete the necessary steps to get into medical school. I feel extremely fortunate, and honestly a little bit lucky, that I was able to get the mentorship needed to navigate this process. Now, having made it to the other side, I hope to provide that same guidance. I am super excited to be part of this project and cannot wait to meet you all!
