Great experience with Dr. Ruby
I had the pleasure to work under the guidance of Dr. Ruby during this recent med school application cycle. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly understand my background, motivations, and strengths to reshape my application into a clear and authentic narrative that highlighted my individual strengths and experiences. I also really appreciated how he always kept his feedback clear and honest was which was what I needed to navigate the long and overwhelming cycle. He clearly identified areas that needed improvement and helped strategize ways to do so, all while providing encouragement. Dr. Ruby genuinely cared for my success and made me feel supported every step of the way. I give Dr. Ruby my utmost recommendation and I am incredibly grateful for his support and guidance.

MedSchoolCoach from a parent's perspective
I am writing this as a parent whose children both used MedSchoolCoach. This may be lengthy, but I want to take a minute to express how grateful I am to each person on our team for the incredible support and guidance they provided to both of my kids during their journey to medical school.
MedSchoolCoach's advisors are not just highly experienced, but they also genuinely care about each student they work with. Dr. Susan Choo, the advisor for both of my kids, is the most wonderful, compassionate woman and both of my kids loved working with her. Her years of experience as a practicing physician were insightful and comforting as she helped us navigate the process from start to finish. She took the time to understand my children's unique strengths and weaknesses and crafted plans that were personalized and well laid out. She was there at every turn, always checking in and making sure the kids were not just on track but checking on their mental health as well.
Darlene Holt, their writing consultant, was just as impressive. She helped my children refine their personal statements and application essays, making sure that their applications stood apart from others and were not just compelling but also true expressions of their passions. I know my kids often felt overwhelmed and lost with the task of writing dozens of essays, but Darlene was always there with an ear to listen and a calming and supportive voice. Her feedback and guidance were always encouraging and geared toward helping them present themselves in the best light.
The kids’ MCAT tutor, Dr. Ken Tao was extraordinary. My kids are drastically different when it comes to studying and Dr. Tao was able to design study plans tailored to each of them individually. His knowledge when it comes to the MCAT is second to none. When my kids sat for the exam, they were confident and sure of themselves which is half the battle.
I could not finish this review without bringing attention to the head of enrollment, Michelle White. Words cannot describe the degree of personal attention Michelle commits to each student. Before deciding to sign up with MedSchoolCoach I spoke with Michelle countless times. Each time she was patient, friendly and extremely helpful, answering every question I had. She really took the time to get to know everything about both of my kids so she could help place them with the support she felt would be the best fit for each of them. We worked with the team for over a year and whenever I had a question as a parent, Michelle was there.
I honestly cannot speak highly enough about the experience of working with Michelle, Susan, Darlene and Ken. Every one of them is extremely knowledgeable, warm, supportive and excellent at their jobs. Without their guidance and support I do not know if I would be sitting here writing a review about both of my children achieving their lifelong dreams of going to medical school. I know what a daunting process applying to medical school is and having a team behind you like MedSchoolCoach can really make the difference between receiving acceptance letters versus denials. If you have a child applying to medical school, I cannot recommend a better service.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It means the world to us to hear how deeply supported your children felt throughout their journeys—and that our team could play even a small part in helping them achieve their dreams of becoming physicians.
We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with your family. Dr. Susan Choo, Darlene Holt, Dr. Ken Tao, and Michelle White are truly special members of our team, and your words capture so well the care, compassion, and dedication they bring to every student and family. We’re especially touched that you noticed not just the expertise, but also the genuine emotional support they provided along the way—because that’s exactly what we hope to offer.
Helping students navigate the complexity of medical school admissions is a responsibility we take seriously, and your trust in us, over the course of more than a year, means more than we can express. Thank you again for your generous feedback—and congratulations to your children on this incredible achievement! We’ll be cheering them on as they take this next exciting step in their journeys.
Warmest regards,

As a reapplicant, I am so grateful to have had MSC's advising throughout this cycle. Dr. Ruby provided invaluable insight on how to stand out as an applicant. He not only helped guide me through the entire process, but he cared about my success and remained supportive from beginning to end. Dr. Sandra Duvivier's input was so crucial to improving my writing and developing a cohesive narrative that best represented me. I believe that these two made the biggest difference in feeling confident during this cycle and going from no acceptances to multiple!
