Was always a delight speaking with Dr. Nelson as my physician advisor as he gave timely advice, confidence and support that is always appreciated throughout the gruelling application process. In addition to the support throughout the application, the combination of physician and writing advisor has helped me gain confidence and grow as a writer. Fortunate to be starting medical school this fall thanks in part to the support provided by my advisor and other members of the team from writing to interview prep! Just be mindful of growing competition and keep realistic expectations by doing your own research as well

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.

They did a great job helping my son with his medical school interviews

Dr. Lipsit was great! He was very friendly and approachable. He was also very honest and straightforward, which I really appreciated. He also gave multiple options with his personal preference for a number of things which I thought was awesome. In the past I have been giving the one size fits all spill and I liked his approach much more.

I have nothing but good things to say about MedSchool Coach! I used their services to help me pass the basic science comprehensive exam and now for step 1 prep. I will most definitely continue to use their services for step 2 prep as well. From the start of my tutoring search, Stephen Studley was incredibly helpful and supportive. He made himself easily accessible and was always quick to respond. Stephen helped me figure out what services would be best for me and made sure I was constantly given the support I needed and helped me build a team that would be best for me to achieve my academic goals. He was also happy to help anyone I pointed in his direction no matter the day of week or time of day. My tutor, Alexander Merriman, is out of this world! He can get in my head and really help me get to the route of my learning gaps. Alex can and will explain things to me a million ways to guarantee that I understand the concepts and will never get it wrong again. Not only has he helped me with knowledge onboarding and strategies for answering questions but also has helped me gain confidence and get out of any bad habits I built before starting on this journey with MedSchool Coach.

I've had an excellent experience with medschoolcoach. My advisors have been very responsive to my concerns throughout the entire application process and they have done a good job of responding to me in a timely manner. I look forward to continuing to work with medschoolcoach in the future.

Dr. Liran Raz helped me prepare for a combination MMI and traditional interview over 2 sessions. He helped me streamline my answers and gave me good tips to use for formulating MMI answers within the short 2 minutes period. He also practiced different ethical scenarios which required discussing ethics, patient interaction and teamwork activities. He gave me good feedback and was generally very helpful.

Overall, while our/my sons personal results were not as great as I had hoped, i was overall satisfied with med school coach. As constructive criticism, i was surprised and a bit disappointed that almost of the counseling/coaching was done via telephone or email as opposed to zoom/video chat. Among other pluses, video chat would have allowed more parental involvment in the process. Also, for the money we paid for the base package we felt at least one mock interview session should have been included-we paid a la carte for 2 such sessions which were really awesome, but really feel even the basic package should have included one. And finally, if you are applying to med school esp via the highly competitive BS/md route, be aware that no coaching service can change the brutal math of the competition, and plan and set your expectations accordingly.
