The combination of a physician advisor and a writing advisor ensured my writing was geared towards admission committees while simultaneously making sure it was a good piece of writing overall. My advisors were willing to work with my schedule and were supportive of me and my goals.

Dr. Mehta is an awesome tutor! She is very supportive, encouraging, intelligent, patient, helpful, and truly cares about my success. She is the best tutor I have ever had.

Knowledgeable and prepared.

Dr. Howell and Dr. Fowler have been a great help while on this application journey! They are readily available for feedback and really help clarify the process and what is needed to stand out!

I have greatly appreciated my work with MedSchoolCoach as I prepare for my upcoming board exam. The most helpful part has been organizing all the information I need to know and setting up a study schedule. I would recommend this service to my friends.

MedSchoolCoach has been great! I would say that my experience has been worth every penny and I recommend MedSchool Coach to anyone that feels like their school's approach is falling short. On-campus tutors can be great and upperclassmen can be helpful, but when it comes to my understanding (and board prep), I want to learn from the best - I want to learn from the people that have already been successful. I plan on continuing MedSchool Coach throughout my medical education for a lot of reasons. Just to name a few: - The insight from my tutor (Hanna) has been invaluable - from test-taking strategies to advice about working through the didactic years. - I really feel like my understanding is the top priority and the review sessions are tailored to what I need. Sometimes that means slowing down or repeating things, but I never feel like I have to pretend I understand; and we work through a topic until it makes sense. - I have really appreciated the patience as a struggle to grasp new topics. - The powerpoint slides are great for ongoing retention and quick review instead to digging through mountains of lecture notes. They also distill an entire semester into 20-30 slides which emphasizes conceptual understanding instead of wrote-memorization. I feel like this has helped me see big-picture ideas more clearly. It has also been great to have someone help me see "what matters most" and then work on understanding those points. This creates a solid foundation that I feel confident building on for the future. If you're not sure, give it a chance and I can promise that you will not be disappointed.

MedSchoolCoach has been incredibly helpful with my personal statement and secondary essays, helping me effectively communicate my experiences and qualities. They have also been a huge help with CASPer preparation. I am glad to have them assist me every step of the way with this process!

I’ve had two different coaches with Medschool coach and have had no difference in my MCAT score after 3 months. I bought a Master package to set myself up in the best possible way, but ended up moving down to a lower-hour package (at the master level still) to save at least some of the $6k that I initially had thrown into it, but didn’t feel like I was getting value for. The way their model is set up doesn’t seem to be in favor of helping students but rather helping their business. By the time I got into the swing of things (and $3k later) I basically had no more tutoring hours left and was far from feeling helped. I’m not sure if the tutors are incentivized in the right way behind the scenes. The time to get setup and re-setup also was rough and set me back almost a month (two week original initiation to get started & change in schedule between tutors lost me study time). I did so much to get myself to a position where I could dedicate time to study for the MCAT as a non-traditional student and I’m painfully disappointed.
