More than ever, underrepresented students must be equipped with the tools to excel — despite elements of systemic oppression that too often preclude them from achieving on par with students whose life prospects have not been challenged. At Mikael Davis Consulting, we have been providing college access services for ALL students since our inception. The Academy is the next evolution of that work.
Evidence-based practice. Proven outcomes.
Three decades of students, families, and institutions — and the outcomes that follow when the work is evidence-based.
“Your transcript tells colleges what you have done academically. Your essay helps them understand the person who did it. I contracted Mikael Davis Consulting to review my AMCAS Primary and Secondary application. He helped me draft more targeted, specific responses to essay prompts and encouraged me to better communicate my unique voice — forcing me to more effectively organize my experiences into themes that clearly communicated the motivations and desired outcomes of my medical education.”
Today, Dr. Cox is improving life prospects for underserved patients who could not otherwise afford quality healthcare.
