Ace Your Medical School Interview With Physician-Led Coaching
Turn nerves into confidence. Get personalized medical school interview prep from real physicians who know the ins and outs of admissions committees.
Why You Need Professional Interview Prep From Real Physicians
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.

First Impressions Matter
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.
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.

"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 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." -
“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 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." -
“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."
