Why You Need Professional Interview Prep From Real Physicians



First Impressions Matter
Interviews Are Make-Or-Break
Practice Builds Confidence
Your interview is often the very first time an admissions committee meets you face-to-face. In just minutes, they form lasting impressions about your professionalism, communication, and readiness for medical school. Preparation ensures that your first impression is a positive one.
Strong academics and test scores may earn you an interview, but it’s your performance in that interview that ultimately determines whether you’re admitted. Committees use this stage to evaluate the personal qualities that numbers alone can’t measure.
Even the strongest applicants can stumble without preparation. Structured practice ensures you walk into the interview ready to handle any question, scenario, or curveball with poise and professionalism.

Showcase Professionalism From the Start
From your body language to how you answer the first question, professionalism speaks louder than your résumé. Strong preparation ensures you present yourself with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
Avoid Common Mistakes
Even accomplished applicants can stumble on tough or unexpected questions. Interview prep helps you sidestep common missteps that might otherwise overshadow your strengths.
Highlight What Committees Value
Admissions teams aren’t just looking at your academics. They’re assessing qualities like empathy, communication skills, and maturity. Knowing how to showcase these traits effectively and authentically in an interview conversation is what can help set you apart.

Stand Out Beyond Stats
Grades and scores prove your academic ability, but the interview reveals who you are as a future physician. It’s your chance to demonstrate empathy, maturity, and judgment in real time.
Showcase Communication Skills
Medicine is built on connection. Admissions committees evaluate not only what you say, but how you listen, respond, and engage in meaningful dialogue.
Differentiate Yourself
Many applicants have strong applications on paper. The interview is your opportunity to stand out by sharing your personal story, your motivations, and the qualities that make you unique.

Standing Out in the Crowd: Dr. Katzen's Dedicated Support and Expertise -
I was a 3rd time applicant to medical school, and I didn't realize how much of a difference having a great advisor could make. MedSchoolCoach really made all the difference the 3rd time - was accepted to 3 MD schools, something I never thought would have been possible! I can't say enough great things about my advisors, who constantly checked in and encouraged me. Would not hesitate for a second, just wish I had used them the first time!
I was a 3rd time applicant to medical school… -
I had an amazing experience with MedSchoolCoach. Coming off a failed application cycle, I felt very lost and confused about how to navigate another one. Then, I met Dr. Nelson, and my outlook completely changed. He has single-handedly been one of the best mentors I have ever met. Always going above and beyond, inspiring me along the way, and genuinely wanting to see me achieve my dream. I know for a fact that my journey into medical school wouldn't be the same without him. I can't recommend him enough!
Thank you, Dr. Nelson! -
MedSchoolCoach was amazing. Everyone at the company is very helpful and wants to see their clients succeed. My personal advisor was very responsive and helped me in every stage of the process. I truly feel that if I had not used MedSchoolCoach, I would not have gotten into my top choice for medical school. I sent out 12 secondaries, interviewed at 5 schools, and was accepted to 4 and waitlisted at the other.
Best decision I made while applying!! -
Dr. Blair Nelson from MedSchoolCoach helped guide my brother and me into getting into our dream MD programs. I highly recommend his service as he made himself readily available throughout this process and offered great insight into the medical school application journey.
Fantastic Experience -
“Dr. Lee is extremely nice and down to earth. She guided my son very patiently for almost 2 years and helped him get into BS/MD program. My son has a full ride for undergrad. This entire process was daunting. But Dr. Lee and Rob Rivas helped us through the extremely stressful application and interview process. We couldn't have done this without their help and guidance. We feel blessed to have found Dr. Lee and MedSchoolCoach. Thanks for everything!"Dr. Lee is Amazing

“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.”MedSchoolCoach from a Parent’s Perspective

“Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas helped me tremendously throughout the college admissions process. From brainstorming my personal statement to refining my supplementals, both Dr. Lee and Rob consistently provided thorough feedback in a short amount of time, ensuring my responses articulated my ideas in the best manner possible. Additionally, Dr. Lee was invaluable in prepping for my BS/MD interviews, giving great feedback on how to optimize my responses while also providing practice through several mock interviews. Overall, I would highly recommend both Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas as advisors, especially if you are applying to college and are interested in BS/MD programs.”Dr. Kachiu Lee and Rob Rivas

“I had Dr. Dallara-Marsh and Laura as my advisors for my BSMD application cycle, and I learned so much about the process from them. Both were very knowledgeable, and I will actually be attending a program that I was recommended to apply for by my advisor.”Great BS/MD Experience
-
"Dr. Mandalia provided a plethora of good ideas to work into my responses that will help me strengthen my overall narrative and presentation. He noted my strengths and weaknesses and gave me many different ways to address my weaknesses. He is clearly incredibly knowledgeable about what interview committees look for and was able to elaborate on these points in great detail."Super helpful feedback!

“Great mock interview (MMI) with Dr. Harvey Katzen! This practice helped me become more confident talking through difficult ethical decisions and helped me understand what interviewers are looking for. In the debrief, Dr. Katzen gave great advice about how to answer each type of question and gave me pointers on how to generally approach MMI questions. I feel much more prepared and am so grateful for the support and expertise of advisors like Dr. Katzen!”Boosted My Confidence for MMI

“Susan is always GREAT! She always gives great feedback, and I always feel at ease about my upcoming interview after working with her. I genuinely feel as though she truly cares about me getting into the medical school that is the best fit for me.”

“I had a wonderful experience with David, who helped me with my residency application. He was available every step of the way and fielded all of my questions in an extremely timely manner (often within the hour). His edits to my personal statement and CV portions were thoughtful and informed. He also remained available throughout the interview and ranking process. He helped me with interview prep in addition to weighing in on my rank order list and how to best organize my thoughts on each program. In the end, I matched at my top choice, in no small part due to David's contributions throughout the entire process. I cannot sing his praises enough!”I cannot sing David's praises enough!

This program changed everything for me! I had always been interested in environmental science, but I had no idea how to turn that interest into a real research project. My mentor helped me refine my topic, analyze data, and even prepare my paper for submission. Now, I feel so much more confident applying to top colleges because I have a unique project that truly reflects my passion and skills!This program changed everything for me!

I never thought I could conduct real research as a high school student, but this mentorship program made it possible. My mentor walked me through every step, from choosing a topic to structuring my final paper. I even presented my findings at a youth research symposium! The skills I gained—critical thinking, data analysis, and academic writing—will help me long after high school.Conducting Research as a High School Student

Working one-on-one with a PhD mentor was an amazing experience! I always knew I wanted to go into medicine, but I struggled to find research opportunities. This program helped me explore a topic in neuroscience, which made my college applications so much stronger. Plus, I got the chance to submit my work to an academic journal—something I never imagined I could do beforeI Got to Submit to an Academic Journal!
