You know that feeling when you or a loved one has a health crisis and you feel panic? Then, you see an expert physician who just knows the path ahead of you then reassures you everything will be okay. It’s absolutely liberating. I had spent thousands of dollars applying to medical school on my own and did not get accepted anywhere. In fact, I didn’t get an interview anywhere. I had a future career crisis and thought I would have to go back to college and pursue an alternate path. It felt similar to a loved one in a health crisis. In came med school coach. Specifically, Dr. Weintrub, who is an advisor. After he mapped out how we were going to get me an acceptance, I had the exact same comfort and peace when an experienced physician cares for you or a loved one. I felt hope and confidence. The difference between med school coach/Dr. Weintrub vs. any other medical school advising company is the result. Anyone could trick you and provide false hope to get you into medical school. The difference here is that Dr. Weintrub actually helped me get into medical school. How? He didn’t write my essays. He didn’t give me money to apply to more schools. He didn’t make a phone call to some admissions committee to get me in. He simply has the expertise and experience with medical school admissions to provide strategies that work. Prior to my work with Dr. Weintrub, I was a failed medical school applicant who was about to change career paths. Today, I am putting on a white coat and pursuing my dream of providing healthcare to those in need. Yes, I did the work with college performance, countless hours of volunteering, and hundreds of application essays. But Dr. Weintrub gave me confidence, hope, expertise, and friendship that I desperately needed as a reapplicant. He was always available for me and he always had reassuring answers. I would do the whole tedious and exhausting marathon of medical school applications again if I had Dr. Weintrub by my side. That’s how much I enjoyed working with him. I would recommend med school coach, specifically Dr. Weintrub, to anyone who is serious about getting into medical school. That man is indeed an expert. So yes, I give this company and Dr. Weintrub 5 stars. I would give them more stars if possible all because they helped me achieve my dream!
