Question 1

Who are you?

Accepted Answer

My name is Imani Mulrain, and I am currently a medical student in Long Island, New York. Although I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, my family is originally from Trinidad and Tobago. I graduated from Boston Latin School in 2019 before attending Princeton University, where I earned my bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning in 2023. I applied to medical school during the 2024–2025 cycle and am now training in an accelerated three-year MD program on the Family Medicine track. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2011, and my own experiences as both a patient and medical student continue to shape my interest in primary care, diabetes education, and making the path to medicine feel more accessible for students like me.

Question 2

What is 'Mulrain Mentoring'?

Accepted Answer

Mulrain Mentoring is a free online platform I created to make the path to medicine feel more accessible, transparent, and human, especially for students who may not always see themselves represented in the field. It grew out of the teaching and advising work I had already been doing as a tutor and mentor at Princeton, but also from my own experience navigating the pre-med path as a Black woman and first-generation student without doctors in my family to guide me along the way. I initially tried sharing free resources through a website, but eventually shifted to Instagram as a better way to reach students more broadly with guides, application advice, and honest insight that helps them feel informed, encouraged, and confident that they belong in medicine too.

Question 3

What do you post/share?

Accepted Answer

I share pre-med and medical school advice, application guidance, study reflections, and honest insight into what the path to medicine can actually look like. I also talk about topics that matter to me, including representation in medicine, diabetes care, patient advocacy, and making healthcare feel more human. I try to balance professionalism with realness, so while I may use humor or personal reflection at times, I am always mindful not to share sensitive patient information or speak about clinical experiences in a way that compromises privacy. My goal is to create content that feels honest, responsible, and useful for students trying to navigate this field.

Question 4

Do you work with students one-on-one?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While the vast majority of what I do through Mulrain Mentoring is completely free, I occasionally work with students one-on-one when they're looking for more individualized guidance. Whether it's reviewing and editing a personal statement, discussing application strategy, building a school list, preparing for interviews, or just answering questions about the pre-med journey, I'm always happy to see if I can help. My goal has never been to put information behind a paywall, so if you're interested in working together, feel free to reach out. I'm usually happy to find an arrangement that is affordable and works well for both of us. Many students find everything they need through my free resources, but if you'd benefit from more personalized support, just shoot me an email so we can chat!

Question 5

Do you speak at schools or events?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I am happy to speak at high schools, colleges, organization events, or pre-med programs completely free of charge. I can speak virtually over Zoom and am also open to local in-person opportunities within Long Island, New York, where I am currently based. If an event requires travel outside of Long Island (for example, to New York City) or to another state, I only ask that travel-related expenses be reimbursed when possible. My goal is to make these conversations as accessible as possible for students and organizations. If you are interested, just shoot me an email and I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.
