About Us

This is who we are

MedSchoolCoach was founded in 2007 by a team of physicians with admissions experience. They saw applicants applying to medical school who were jeopardizing their chances of admission because of a poor application. Whether it is an essay that does not stand out, applying to the wrong places, or not interviewing well, there are mistakes being made that were costing students the chance of becoming doctors. MedSchoolCoach helps students put their best foot forward.

This Is What We Do

Since our founding, over 8,500 students have utilized MedSchoolCoach for help through their application process. Their success rate? Well into the 90% range! Why? Because our advisors are physicians with admissions committee experience. They know what schools look for in their applicants and how to portray yourself as a great one.

Where have you heard of MedSchoolCoach? A lot of places!

Without a doubt, our biggest success comes from helping our students become physicians. Whether that is from test prep or admissions consulting, our core goal is to help students become great physicians. Our medical school admissions consulting service started in 2007 and since has become one of the most well known in the country because of our exceptional service.

Testimonials

MedSchoolCoach Class of 2015

Dr. Mehta, you were the one who pushed me to apply there and I honestly can’t thank you enough for doing that. They saw something in me, and the dean told me over the phone that not only did my interviewers have amazing things to stay about me, but my writing was so impressive. You definitely had a helping hand in that early on. Thank you so much for your guidance, your edits, and everything else that you helped me with last summer to give me the best possible chance of acceptance to medical school. Finally, FINALLY I can say that it has all worked out for the absolute best.

MedSchoolCoach Class of 2016

Accepted to my #1 choice! and I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you so much for helping me throughout this long process (almost one year)! You truly made me the best applicant I could be! Words can not express how thankful I am to have had you as my MedSchoolCoach. I wanted to tell you all this over the phone, but I would have gotten too emotional and started crying because of how amazing you are and how you played such an integral role in helping me achieve my dream. So instead I am crying tears of appreciation and joy while I write this email 🙂

MedSchoolCoach Class of 2015

I have really appreciated all the help I have gotten so far. The editors are very available and respond promptly. Also, the advice I got really pushed me in the right direction with my essay and made me understand what they are looking for when applying. It gave me a sense of relief knowing I have the help of someone who has gone through this application process not too long ago. And I really like that they let you use the service as long as you want until you are happy with your essay. OVERALL- GREAT EXPERIENCE!! I would definitely recommend others to use MedSchoolCoach!

MedSchoolCoach Class of 2017

I am so glad that I met the team at MedSchoolCoach!! Their ongoing support via email, phone, and skype was truly invaluable resource in the entire medical school application process. The highly qualified team personalizes plans that help you achieve your goals while remaining realistic in your expectations. They are extremely approachable, friendly, professional, and young so not far-removed from the process! I am currently a medical student, and continue to use their services in preparation for my next round of applications- residency. I thank the MedSchoolCoach team for helping me and I recommend them to all who are on similar path.
