About Chelesa Fearce

I am currently a third year MD/PhD candidate at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. I received my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry with a philosophy minor from Spelman College. While at Spelman, I served as a general and organic chemistry tutor, Vice President for the Honors Program Student Association, and swam for the TigerSharks swim program. After graduating from college magnum cum laude, with an induction to Phi Beta Kappa, I worked at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland conducting research on dopamine receptors. I am interested in receiving my PhD in chemistry and conducting drug design for psychiatric disorders. For medical training, I intend to pursue a combined Internal Medicine and Psychiatry Program.

In addition to my clinical and research interests, I am most known for graduating as valedictorian of my high school in Riverdale, GA despite being homeless. Because of this, I have been featured on many news outlets, such as the Atlanta Journal Constitution, BET, The Huffington Post and Channel 2 Action News, and several news programs in Connecticut. Recently, I was featured in the June 8th issue of PEOPLE magazine, Good Day Atlanta, Access Hollywood, and The Today Show.

I firmly believe that the most important aspect of an application is letting your passion shine through your writing. Writing a well-thought out and edited application is essential to success in the medical application cycle. I will do my best to help you achieve your goal of getting into medical school and/or an MD/PhD program.
