Interview prep with Dr. Katzen was very helpful. We covered many grounds, including health care problems, professionalism, why medicine, tell me about yourself, etc. I have learned a lot and felt more confident moving forward.

The tutor was very knowledgeable on all of the high yield content and was able to provide quick presentations to review any of the topics I wanted to brush up on. We also spent time going through practice passages and reviewing questions I had done on my own time.

I had originally purchased another med application service. Then I decided to use MedSchool Coach instead because I felt I needed more guidance and someone with expertise. After expressing my time crunch my physician advisor Dr. Ruby met with me immediately and shortly after my writing advisor Dr. Fowler motivated me and kept me on track to submit my application even with my busy schedule. For anyone on the fence, I would say if you can afford it, don't delay and go for it. They are worth the price.

My tutor takes the time to understand my situation and help me improve in multiple aspect to be a better student. He teaches not only concepts but how to strategically approach my board exam, characteristics that I highly value. I would highly recommend Medschoolcoach to any student trying to improve themselves.

Very streamlined process - easy to setup and recorded lectures are a plus. Tutor and entire staff is great - highly recommend using this company. Good for busy students.

I utilized MedSchoolCoach’s primary essay package, and was woefully disappointed with the service I received. I reached out to them prior to paying for this service to go over my application and my needs with regard to my essay (mainly that I was interested in talking with a physician to brainstorm on the narrative of my essay, rather than just looking for grammar edits). Their point-man assured me that I would be able to have a lengthy initial conversation with my assigned physician to help them understand my needs and goals, and that my physician would provide substantive feedback with each draft and answer any questions I might have. That was all a lie. The “brain-storming” portion of their service amounted to sending me two single-page documents with silly questions that I could have found on google and absolutely no conversation with anyone. Every time I submitted a draft of my essay, my physician would give a sentence or two of typed feedback and that is it. Any questions I had would go unanswered by the physician and instead would be answered by the writing advisor, despite the fact that I was paying for the advice of a physician with adcom experience. Beyond all of the blatant lies that they told me, I really just felt like they didn’t have any interest in who I am or what actually motivated me to medicine. They wanted to coach me into writing the same generic essay that they get every other student to write. Overall I was incredibly disappointed with the service I paid for. They are clearly just trying to extract as much money as possible for minimal effort. I would find another service. Edit: and in case anyone is reading their reply, please recognize this is gas-lighting in the extreme and yet another clear example that these people don’t seem interested in doing their due diligence. No, they did not do 6+ revisions. They provided 3. The 6+ documents they are referencing includes the drafts I submitted. The person replying to me clearly did a cursory glance at my page, scrambling for something to discredit this bad review. Further, they clearly did not even bother to read the review I left, as my main complaint with this company is that I was told I would have an ACTUAL conversation with my physician advisor to brainstorm about my essay and did not get to speak with anyone a single time, but was instead sent 2 single page documents with generic questions that did not provide any of the nuanced advice I was looking for. Honestly, I am blown away by the response they left here. It’s one thing to provide a poor service, but quite another to provide a poor service and then try to gaslight reviewers and those reading reviews into thinking their service wasn’t poor. Truly a new low.

I used MedSchool Coach to help me study for the USMLE Step 1 exam and was so thankful for their help! I highly recommend Abdul was a tutor! I was really nervous about the exam and really at a loss about how to the study before working with him. He provided a personalized approach and we systematically tackled all of my areas of weakness before the exam. After our sessions, I walked into test day feeling infinitely more confident than I would have been without his help!

Very helpful in orienting me on what to do for the whole process. They provided good feedback on my written portions of my application as well!
