In our “Interview With a Doctor” series, we talk to doctors about their journey to medicine, medical school admissions, what they wished they had known when they started this process, and what they see as the rewards and challenges of being a doctor. Today is Part 1 of our interview with Dr. Aloysius Fobi, who is a board-certified emergency medicine physician, professor of medicine at Oregon Health Science University, and attending physician at Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon.

and co-founder of FourthWrite, admissions essay editing services that have helped more than 7,000 students craft honest, compelling essays for college, graduate, and professional school applications. With nearly two decades in the admissions industry — as both a university admissions reader and independent consultant — Brian has developed a deep understanding of what makes an application stand out.
Before admissions consulting, Brian practiced human rights law in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has taught writing at Duke, Yale, and Harvard. He holds a B.A. in History from Washington & Lee University, a Ph.D. and Master's in History from Yale University, and a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School.
Brian's guiding principle is simple: the best essays are the honest ones. He and his team never ghostwrite, plagiarize, or rely on AI — instead, they work to bring out each client's authentic voice and help them tell their own story in the clearest, most compelling way possible.
