The Challenges of Self-Studying
Why Tutoring Makes the Difference
The MCAT isn’t just another test. Your score can mean the difference between acceptance at your dream program and being overlooked.
Many pre-meds start MCAT prep alone, but the reality is that this test is unlike any other. Without the right strategies, most students plateau, burn out, or underperform.
Tutoring doesn’t just help you study more; it helps you study more effectively and gain better testing strategies.. Personalized guidance transforms your prep from stressful and scattered into targeted, efficient, and confidence-building.

The MCAT Shapes Your Future in Medicine
The MCAT isn’t just another test. Your score can mean the difference between acceptance at your dream program and being overlooked.
The Gateway to Medical School
Admissions committees weigh MCAT scores heavily, in some cases more than GPA. A strong score sets you apart immediately.
Every Point Matters
Just a 2-3 point increase can significantly shift your competitiveness, opening doors to higher-ranked schools and scholarships.
High Stakes Require High Preparation
Because this one exam carries so much weight, preparing with structure and expert guidance is essential. Guesswork is a risk you can’t afford.

The Challenges of Self-Studying
Many pre-meds start MCAT prep alone, but the reality is that this test is unlike any other. Without the right strategies, most students plateau, burn out, or underperform.
Overwhelming Content
The MCAT spans thousands of topics across multiple sciences. Knowing which high-yield topics to prioritize and what not to waste time on is crucial.
Time and Stress Pressures
Balancing full course loads, applications, and life while studying for the MCAT leads to fatigue and anxiety without a clear plan. Your MCAT Tutor will help you keep all of these factors in check so that you don’t burn out before the test.
Test Anxiety Is Real
Even top students can underperform if nerves take over on exam day. Learning proven strategies to manage test anxiety is just as important as content review.

“The first time I took the MCAT without any preparation, I did not achieve the score I wanted to reach. When I found the resources available by the instructors in MedSchoolCoach, I was able to boost my score from a 500 to 527 in my most recent practice test in just 3 months! I am thrilled with this score, and beyond grateful for MedSchoolCoach <3”
Sabrina Sarwar: "From a 500 to 527 in my most recent practice test." -
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!
Zach: "I met Dr. Nelson and my outlook completely changed." -
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.
Madi: "Interviewed at 5 schools, and was accepted to 4." -
“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!"
SA: "My son has a full ride..." -
“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.”
CU: "Extremely knowledgeable, warm, supportive and excellent at their jobs." -
“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.”
David: "Invaluable in prepping for my BS/MD interviews." -
"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."
Conor O'Dowd: "Incredibly knowledgable [sic] about what interview committees look for." -
I used their services to help me pass the basic science comprehensive exam and now for step 1 prep. I will most definitely continue to use their services for step 2 prep as well.
My tutor, Alexander Merriman, is out of this world! He can get in my head and really help me get to the route of my learning gaps. Alex can and will explain things to me a million ways to guarantee that I understand the concepts and will never get it wrong again. Not only has he helped me with knowledge onboarding and strategies for answering questions but also has helped me gain confidence and get out of any bad habits I built before starting on this journey with MedSchoolCoach.
Christina Tartaglia: "I will most definitely continue to use their services." -
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!
Emma L: "walked into test day feeling infinitely more confident."
