"Harris helped me secure interviews and an acceptance to Brown's Alpert Medical School. His advising got me through a tough application cycle and his calm, strategic approach made all the difference. I would not be in medical school without him."

"Harris is the best tutor I have ever had. He took complex premed material and made it second-nature. I went from struggling in Orgo to confidently sitting for the MCAT. Penn admit, MCAT win, Harris in my corner."

"I had Harris for Organic Chemistry I and II. He is patient, thorough, and explains things in a way that finally made mechanisms click. My grades jumped a full letter and I genuinely understood the material for the MCAT."

"Hands down the most strategic advisor I worked with during my application cycle. He doesn't just hand you a checklist — he stress-tests your school list, your essays, and your interview answers like an admissions committee member would."

"I started working with Avgousti Advising on MCAT prep after a period of minimal score improvement in practice exam, and it changed the game for me. Offered very helpful strategies, clear and logical explanations to questions, and realistic/achievable approaches to earn more points on each section. My score jumped 12 points, and I went into exam day feeling very confident!"

"Harris is who you call when you don't have time to mess around. He triaged my Step 2 prep in one session, told me what to cut, and the score spoke for itself. He thinks like a top-scorer because he is one."

Proprietary Strategy Engine

A school list that's backed by data, not vibes.

Avgousti Advising's internal engine combines AAMC MSAR, NRMP Charting Outcomes, and Texas STAR data with a clustering and Bayesian scoring model. Every client gets a personalized report. Below is a real, generic sample so you know what you're paying for.

What's Inside the Personalized Report

A defensible plan in one document.

The personalized engine takes your stats, story, and target specialty and returns a school list, a probability tier (Reach / Target / Likely), benchmark comparisons, and the next 90 days of strategy — in one document.

  • Reach / Target / Likely school assignments calibrated to your stats and mission fit
  • Specialty competitiveness audit (NRMP + Texas STAR benchmarks)
  • Step 2 CK target band and study-plan stress test
  • 90-day action plan with named milestones
  • Risk flags — red, yellow, green — on the parts of your application most likely to break the cycle

Why Avgousti Advising

A different kind of advisor.

01

Founder-only, no junior associates.

Every conversation, every edit, every mock interview is with Harris — not a contractor, not a junior consultant. The strategist you book is the strategist you get.

02

Recent & relevant.

Most advising firms are built on 20-year-old admissions experience. Harris matched in 2026. The application cycle, the signals, the data, the politics — current to today.

03

Backed by a proprietary engine.

Most advisors guess. Avgousti Advising runs your stats through an internal model trained on AAMC, NRMP, and Texas STAR data — so the school list and the Step 2 target are defensible, not invented on a phone call.

The Founder

Penn → Feinberg → Cardiology.

Harris graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, then earned his M.D. from Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, where he was elected to AOA, scored 276 on USMLE Step 2 CK (>99th Percentile), and matched first-choice into Internal Medicine/Cardiology at a top academic medical center.

He served as a Feinberg Admissions Ambassador for four years, helping recruit prospective students and demystify the application process. Additionally, he served as a student interviewer on the admissions committee for one year. This insider perspective allows Harris to offer an honest, unvarnished look at what truly resonates in the selection room.

The Boutique Promise

Direct 1-on-1 Advising.

You work directly with Harris for every session and strategy report. No junior advisors, no agency hand-offs, and no outsourced editing—ever.

How We Work

Four steps. One strategy.

STEP 01

Intro Call

Complimentary 5–10 minute call. We diagnose where you are, where you want to go, and whether we're the right fit.

STEP 02

Engagement Letter

If we're aligned, you receive a custom engagement letter, a clear scope, and a flat fee.

STEP 03

Personalized Report

The strategy engine produces your personalized report — school list, risk flags, and a 90-day plan.

STEP 04

Execution & Iteration

We meet on a defined cadence, edit, mock-interview, and adjust until the cycle closes.

Frequently Asked

Quick answers.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. The intro call is a complimentary 5–10 minutes — just enough time to understand your situation, share how we work, and decide together whether to proceed.

Do you guarantee admission?

No advisor can ethically guarantee admission. We commit to a defensible strategy, sharp execution, and honest counsel. Outcomes depend on you.

How is this different from a big admissions firm?

You work directly with the founder — not a junior associate. Pricing is flat, scope is clear, and the strategy is backed by a proprietary, current data engine.

What's your refund / cancellation policy?

The engagement letter governs scope, deliverables, and refunds. Mid-cycle terminations are handled pro-rata. Details are spelled out before any payment.

Do you work with reapplicants?

Yes. Reapplicants are some of the most strategically interesting cases. We do a frank gap analysis before recommending a re-application timeline.

How do I see more reviews?

Additional references and a full client list are available privately on request. Email after your consultation and we'll share a roster.
