Founder Backgrounds & Philosophies

Understanding the background and training of a company’s founder can provide insight into how they approach advising, strategy, and student outcomes. Below is a high-level overview of the founders behind each organization based on publicly available information.

Kevin Jubbal, M.D.

Dr. Kevin Jubbal graduated magna cum laude from UCLA with a B.S. in Neuroscience and earned his M.D. from UC San Diego, where he was awarded the sole full merit-based scholarship for all four years. He scored in the 99.9th percentile on the MCAT and achieved similarly high performance on the USMLE (265+).

He matched into plastic surgery at Loma Linda University. His academic background includes 66 research publications, abstracts, and presentations, reflecting experience in both clinical and research settings. He has also served on medical school and residency admissions committees and has advised hundreds of students throughout the application process.

Dr. Jubbal founded Med School Insiders to bring greater clarity and strategy to the medical admissions process. His approach is informed by firsthand experience navigating competitive pathways, as well as evaluating applicants from the admissions side, where small differences in positioning and execution can meaningfully impact outcomes.

This perspective shapes Med School Insiders’ advising philosophy: a structured, individualized, data-driven approach that focuses on optimizing the full application profile so that each component works together to create a cohesive and competitive application.

Jessica Freedman, M.D.

Dr. Jessica Freedman is a physician and the founder of MedEdits Medical Admissions. She earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Haverford College and her medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine. She went on to complete her residency training in emergency medicine at Cook County Health and Hospitals System and later worked at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

In addition to her clinical background, Dr. Freedman has experience in medical education and advising students through the medical school and residency application processes. She founded MedEdits to support applicants navigating different stages of healthcare (medical school and physician assistant) admissions.

MedEdits’ approach reflects this background, with an emphasis on a model that is structured similarly to an academic medical department, with a focus on organized workflows and collaborative input. 

MedEdits works with applicants pursuing medical school as well as other healthcare pathways including physician assistant school, providing advising across multiple paths and stages of training.

What are Customers Saying?

From crafting my personal statement and essays to preparing for my interview, I received invaluable feedback. Specifically, they worked one-on-one with me to help me find my story and theme for my application. Moreover, during my mock interview with Dr. Bari, I was provided with advice on how to better present my personal anecdotes and answer tough questions. When it came time to the real interview, my delivery was significantly better. In fact, many of the tough questions that Dr. Bari asked me were asked during my actual interview! After a long application cycle, I was accepted to multiple US MD schools including my dream medical that I NEVER thought in a million years I would be accepted at. This is a dream come true and I want to strongly encourage anyone who is considering the services that Med School Insiders offers to take advantage of it! Dr. Jubbal, Dr. Bari, and the rest of the team at Med School Insiders are amazing people who truly care about their students and want them to succeed. I am forever grateful for their guidance throughout this process.
P.C.Matriculant to Dream Medical School
Since my advisor was a voting member of the medical school admissions committee, he knows exactly what discussions go on behind the doors. Having him as my mentor throughout my application process was like having the list of questions in advance before a major exam. He knew exactly what I should be focusing on and helped me plan each year to get the most out of college. I am so thankful to have gotten accepted to my dream medical school and I know I couldn’t have gotten here without him!
S.C.Harvard Undergraduate Student
I wish I'd gone with Med School Insiders even sooner. When I used a different company for USMLE prep, they were great people and all, but I felt like you guys would have done a better job. I probably would have gotten better guidance earlier on, and my Step score definitely could have been a little bit better. When I finally did work with Dr. Pierce on my residency application, he was amazing — super helpful. He gave me a really good format for my personal statements that I think changed things and definitely made them far better, and helped a lot with interview prep. I definitely interviewed well, mostly due to his help. I matched into [Redacted] orthopedic surgery, which was my number one program! In hindsight, I realized it's actually a pretty good price for what it could be, and now that I know, it's definitely worth the financial investment to have this level of polished and insightful additional help."
