My interview never happened because I was never given a Google Meet/Zoom link. I received confirmation of the interview and reminders, but I never received a way to join the interview or any other contact information to actually reach out to Nicholas Forcier, with whom I was supposed to have my interview with.

I have never felt more financially exploited by a company in my entire life. I purchased their Gold level package for medical school advising. Because I am a nontraditional student, I thought I would need the extra help. Their services were far below what I expected. You will get just as good of advising by using free online grammar editing tools and forum boards. You can tell through the communication and services you receive that this company and advisors really don't care about you. They only care about making money. After months of being frustrated with their services, I complained about my writing advisor's performance. I was told that because I complained to him that I had violated their code of conduct and that they would be terminating my services with no refund. I did not curse or call anyone names, I simply stated how frustrated I was with their sub par services. I am in the middle of secondaries and have only used 2 of my 5 secondary editing with them. Not to mention all the other services I had not yet used in my package. I am a financially disadvantaged student on an AAMC fee waiver. I had to put Med School Coach's services on a payment plan. Now I have to pay $500 a month for the next year for services I will never receive. As I have previously stated, this company does not care about helping you craft the perfect application or about you as a person. They care only about financially exploiting as many gullible people as they can. They are predators. Stay away from them and other companies like them. Trust me you do not need them. UPDATE: I spoke with Jennifer Urso. She was beyond unhelpful. She told me that since I used affirm to finance the services, they don't receive full payment. Therefore, even though I only received 50% of the services, I am not entitled to a refund. So I have to pay 3000 more dollars for services I will never receive? This company and Jennifer Urso are the most unprofessional and rude company I have ever came across. They treat me like I work for them when in reality they work for me! Do yourself a favor and save your self a lot of money, pain, and misery; STAY AWAY FROM MED SCHOOL COACH!

We took the platinum package which guarantees admission but it did not. The consultant was helpful and responsive but in the end my kid did not receive a single interview and so the result was a disappointing and negative experience. The guarantee promise is FALSE

Terrible experience with the mock interview process. Advisor had to reschedule interview multiple times, and I received very little useful feedback upon initial interview. Additionally, reaching out to advisors after the interview is forbidden, which is something that is not present in competitor services. For $350, the quality of service and feedback did not match up to competitors or expectations.

I paid this company $4,500 for help with my medical school application and almost $1,000 for MCAT prep tutoring. After a couple of the tutoring sessions, I said I wanted to cancel the rest. The medical school application advisor spoke with me on the phone for an initial intake session and it was nice. But, after that day the only contact she had was to return the essays I would send her for editing, just a hair before the 72-hours deadline. So essentially I paid around $5,000 just to have somebody correct my sentence structure on a handful of short essays. No great insight was offered by this company, no tailor-made plan to help me better advance myself, not even a second phone call did my thousands of dollars get me...This is not how this company advertises itself. It is pretty clear that they painstakingly curate their online reviews in order to bluff students into paying them their ludicrous fees.

These people just will take your money, treat you unprofessionally, and just waste your time.

This consulting company takes complete advantage of pre-medical students. I paid $4500 for their MCAT tutoring service with the impression that I would receive my money back if my score did not improve. This was something I was not trying to worry about, as their website boasts "100% Percentage of students who raised their scores with MedSchoolCoach". I was also finagled into purchasing their smaller secondary essay editing package while waiting for my MCAT score to come back. Well, I ended up scoring worse on the MCAT compared to the one I took prior to using their tutoring service and decided I was no longer going to apply to medical school (this was my last straw). I had barely used the secondary editing service and requested my money back for both. The customer service support person I spoke with on the phone asked me to describe my tutor experience, and I told her that he was just OK. I had to initiate all meetings and had to send him content to go over, otherwise, we wouldn't meet. I even had several hours of tutoring time left that went unused. She said that my experience shouldn't have been that way and that I should have been "blown away" by their tutors (she said this several times). Apparently, they have a 30-day money-back policy. If I was supposed to start studying at least 3 months out from my scheduled MCAT test date, how could I possibly know if I was going to score worse? They did not refund me for the tutor services, nor did they refund me for the secondary editing services, even after I explained to them that I would no longer be pursuing medical school. Instead, they applied a reduced amount of credits to my MedSchoolCoach account to be used for other services, after I already explained I was no longer following the pre-med path. Their response? Sell the credits! So now I have to convince some other pre-med student into buying their services if I want my thousands of dollars back?

Scheduling was very difficult to coordinate with multiple back and forth emails which could have been avoided. We took a more informal brainstorming session rather than going through a predefined list of questions. Throughout the "interview", I spent time explaining basics about the specialty I was applying into. I believe this could be experience could be helpful for medical school interview preparation but in my personal opinion, inadequate for a residency interview preparation.
