About HalderMD Consulting

Sohini Halder, MD

• UCSF School of Medicine | Top 5 Medical School in US
• UCLA Summa Cum Laude | 4.00 GPA
• UCSD Emergency Medicine Residency | Top Choice Match
• 4+ years of admissions coaching experience

I started UCLA as a neuroscience major—but quickly realized that my passion lived at the intersection of medicine, people, and purpose. I switched into Human Biology & Society, thrived in a curriculum that aligned with my mission, and ultimately graduated in three years with a 4.00 GPA, earning admission into my dream Top 5 medical school, UCSF School of Medicine. 

But here’s what I learned that changed everything.

Stats alone don’t get you in.

What truly differentiates an applicant is your story. Your lived experiences, values, and personal mission that reveal who you are and the physician you’re becoming.

I guide applicants in uncovering their own distinctive narrative and elevating it into a compelling, cohesive, and memorable application.
