Hi! I’m Francesca.

I am the founder of Pre-PA Consulting. What started as just me is now a small team of trained pre-PA consultants who have been through the exact process you are embarking on!
I am also a Gynecologic Oncology PA-C at  MGH in Boston, MA. As passionate as I am about serving my patients, I’m equally as passionate about helping pre-PA applicants enter the medical field. Guiding future PAs through such a stressful and competitive process is deeply rewarding, and I bring the same focus, dedication, and intentionality to mentoring as I do to patient care. It has been an honor being a part of so many pre-PAs' journeys, and it would be an honor to be a part of yours as well.

What clients have said…

  • "Every session spent with Francesca was a wise investment in my future. Her dedication, unwavering commitment, and insightful guidance surpassed my highest expectations. Francesca's influence in shaping my journey towards becoming a physician assistant will forever remain a profound and enduring aspect of my life."

    - Grace, accepted to South University (Asheville)

  • "Francesca was phenomenal. I sought her guidance as a first time applicant with personal statement editing, developing a school list and navigating the CASPA application process. Without her experience and opinions, my application cycle would have been different from the one I had. My investment in her assistance was the best thing I could have done for myself in creating the best application possible."

    - Austin, accepted to West Coast University (Dallas)

  • "Francesca was extremely helpful and supportive while helping me craft my personal statement. We carefully combed through each draft during our sessions until we were confident in the final result. She guided me through any adjustments we made while maintaining my authentic voice."

    - Maddie, accepted to MGH IHP

  • "Working with Francesca was a game changer for my CASPA application. As a first-time applicant, I was nervous to hit the submit button, but Francesca's guidance and insights on my application helped me become confident in myself and my experiences. Applying to PA school is a long and difficult process, and the idea of having to navigate it alone was intimidating. From the moment we started, Francesca made me feel at ease and took a genuine interest in my experiences and goals in order to improve my application and help me become ready to hit submit"

    - Berit, accepted to MGH IHP

  • "Francesca was wonderful to work with and supported me throughout the entire application process. I was prepared to submit my applications well in advance of the deadlines, which I found extremely helpful. I honestly couldn't have done it without Francesca. I am so grateful for all of her support, advice, help, and encouragement. I would 100% work with her again and recommend her to all of my friends who want to be PAs!"
