Remote Creative Video Editor Jobs in Boston, MA (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are passionate about education and helping students navigate the highly competitive BS/MD and BS/DO admissions process. Working alongside a College Advisor, the BS/MD Advisor will mentor high school students throughout the application process, helping them develop school lists, craft compelling "Why Medicine?" essays, brainstorm and edit supplemental essays, prepare for interviews, and provide strategic guidance from start to finish.

Because our students are specifically pursuing direct medical programs, we are seeking advisors who successfully completed a U.S. BS/MD, BA/MD, BS/DO, or BA/DO program themselves. Advisors who have firsthand experience navigating these programs are uniquely positioned to guide students through the process.

The goal is to help students submit polished, authentic applications that align with their academic profile and long-term goals.

Responsibilities:

The BS/MD advisor will work with students in several capacities:

• develop a strong working relationship with the college advisor, acting as a unified team that will support the applicant through the application process
• evaluate candidacy of high school students looking to apply to BS/MD programs. This includes evaluation of their GPA, SAT/ACT scores, completed courses, extracurricular activities, and experiences
• edit the applicant's BS/MD personal statement and BS/MD supplemental essay questions
• collaborate with applicant to create a customized BS/MD school list that aligns with the student's candidacy, goals, and preferences
• prepare students for admissions interviews
• advise students throughout the application process, implementing proactive measures like consistent check-ins, thorough editing, and timelines/deadlines
• manage family expectations and enlist them as part of the larger team supporting the student
• assist students with developing personal responsibility and managing their work
• offer your expertise and guidance on key application questions and situations

Students can sign up early enough to create year-round work, however, peak season is typically from late August until mid-January. You will be expected to work with multiple clients at one time and need to commit to working with the client until their package or service is complete, which can take upwards of a year. This is a remote position that requires you to have a reliable connection to the Internet and access to Microsoft Word.

• MD or DO physician (attending preferred; residents and fellows will also be considered)
• Required: Successful graduate of a U.S. direct medical program (BS/MD, BA/MD, BS/DO, or BA/DO)
• Demonstrated firsthand knowledge of the BS/MD or BS/DO admissions process
• Experience mentoring or advising students applying to medical school or direct medical programs
• Admissions committee experience strongly preferred
• Strong editing and writing skills, particularly with college and BS/MD application materials
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with high school students and their families
• High level of emotional intelligence and professionalism
• Comfortable managing multiple students throughout an application cycle
• Proficiency with Zoom, Google Meet, and other online collaboration tools

This is a high-touch role. Our clients and fellow advisors value efficient and comprehensive work, which includes a hands-on approach and supporting clients in creating original and compelling application materials. Advisors should be prepared to be flexible and accommodating, when reasonable requests are made. Most importantly, advisors must be sensitive to the emotional needs of the family and student. This is a stressful and busy time for everyone involved, especially the student. It is important that the advisor has the ability to build a trusting and positive relationship with the student and can deliver feedback and guidance in an age-appropriate and constructive manner.
