About
Hi, I’m Shabari.
B.S. candidate, MIT Class of 2027: Chemistry & Molecular Biology (Course 5-7) and Neuroscience (Course 9).
I'm an MIT senior studying Chemistry & Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, headed to medical school for plastic surgery. I scored a 522 on the MCAT in January 2026 and was admitted to MIT, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Penn. I've done research in immunology, computational genomics, and surgical sustainability, TA'd MIT chemistry and neuroscience courses, and co-founded the Mudzi Project in Malawi. I teach the way I wish I'd been taught: clearly, directly, and built around you.
