Edward was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the admissions process. His feedback was honest, helpful and supportive. He also tailored the interview session towards my top school, which was really helpful and I feel a lot more confident.

I used MedSchoolCoach with a Master…
I used MedSchoolCoach with a Master Physician Advisor during my application cycle in 2022, and I did not get into any the over 25+ programs I got into. Other than me reaching out directly to my advisor, MedSchoolCoach nor my advisor proactively provided me with guidance. My experience was like having a direct email line to a physician who would just revise my application. I didn't receive guidance on sending update letters to schools when I didn't hear back from any programs for interviews. I didn't feel that anyone on the team at MedSchoolCoach cared or was looking out for my success. The $10k we spent on MedSchoolCoach was very regretful. I do not recommend to anyone.

I started meeting with Dr. Miller during my junior year of college. She was both an incredible mentor and support during my journey thus far. She helped me gain an understanding of how to approach the many facets of a medical school application.

Excellent interview prep!
My interview with MedSchool Coach was great prep for the real thing! I interviewed with my dream med school this last Tuesday and felt incredibly prepared thanks to my prep interview. My interviewer was Henry Ng, he had a great cadence to the session and also provided some really great feedback, specific to the school and style of interview I was anticipating.

MedSchoolCoach exceeded my expectations as a 2x reapplicant
MedSchoolCoach exceeded my expectations as a 2x reapplicant. I wasn't jiving with my first physician mentor and was able to quickly match with another mentor who was a better fit during application season.
My physician mentor Dr. James Weintrub and editor D were nothing short of phenomenal. They spent time understanding me as an applicant, identifying both my strengths and weaknesses. D spent hours helping me perfect my personal statement line by line.
More than anything, I loved Dr. Weintrub and D for instilling confidence in me as a 2x reapplicant. This process is expensive and mentally draining, and I often felt like medical school was out of reach for me despite my passion, experiences, and achievements.
Dr. Weintrub was incredibly supportive and reminded me of why I am capable of becoming a medical student. He had zero doubt in my abilities to get interviews once we executed a better strategy.
I got 0 interviews last year, with MedSchoolCoach I got 5 MD interviews, 3 waitlists, 1 acceptance. I am now an M1 with a full-ride scholarship to medical school.
I owe this win all to Dr. Weintrub and D for their dedication, patience, and balanced perspectives. Incredible mentors who are also very genuine as they are knowledgeable.
If you are a reapplicant or are generally uncertain about how to stand out during this process, I highly recommend working with Dr. Weintrub.

Phenomenal Service.
Great outreach and quick to respond. Useful for both those who are somewhat familiar with the process and those who have no idea where to start. Consultants are knowledgeable in the application process and know what you should write and where, and how to structure essays. Writing advice is beyond phenomenal, as the consultants have served on adcoms and know what schools are looking for and how to put who you are as a person into a well-rounded application for medical schools. Would highly recommend it to anyone, and with these services, I was able to get 8 interviews and 3 acceptances.

lease Read Before Wasting $8,000 – Genuine Review from a Canadian Applicant
I hope this is seen because the other reviews seem ingenuine and very basic. I’m going to give detailed reasons as to why this service is NOT GOOD. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY as you can get 3x better service for 1/4 of the price.
Let’s start with my stats:
MCAT: 514
GPA: 4.0
Tons of clinical, volunteer, and leadership experience (have been told multiple times my ECs are strong)
CASPer: 4th quartile
I submitted everything before August 2024 for MD and October 2024 for DO.
I’m a Canadian applicant, so I know I'm already at a disadvantage, but not getting a single DO interview is a huge red flag. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT PROOF and I’ll gladly share documentation and my personal experience. Anything to help students avoid losing $8,000 to this scam.
I did have 2 friends who got into med school through this service, but even they said the money wasn’t worth it as you can get the same or better support for much cheaper.
Why This Service Is Not Worth It:
1. Writing Advisors Have No Clue What They’re Doing
They assign a writing advisor to edit your essays and a physician advisor for general guidance. Spoiler: both were pretty bad and the system feels super disjointed. The writing advisors clearly have no background in medicine, they’re just English editors, which makes no sense. You’re applying to med school, and they’re editing your personal statement without any idea of what matters in an app. Huge red flag.
The edits were basic, and even after waiting 2 days for turnaround, it was just surface-level grammar stuff. My friends who are med students put way more effort into helping me than the people I paid. I still had grammar errors after their final drafts — I had to go back and fix them myself.
Also, I was the one pointing out what was missing. At one point I literally said, "We’re missing this in the conclusion," and the advisor was like, “Oh yeah, let’s add that.” Like... why am I paying $8K to be the one catching stuff? I had two different writing advisors, both of them equally useless. To cut words, they’d just chop off sentences without caring about grammar or flow. It was like watching someone destroy my writing without any attention to quality. For a “premium” service, this was a joke.
2. Physician Advisors Provide Nothing Special
I was hoping the physician advisor would at least help with school selection or give some insight but they didn’t. Everything I heard from them I could’ve found on Reddit or SDN for free.
I had two different physician advisors as I had to switch from my original one as he was so bad. I still have the draft of the original personal statement I made with my first advisor and its so bad its laughable. I will never forget him saying that it was "pitch perfect." One was terrible, the other was just okay. And they gave conflicting advice about my personal statement, which made me even more confused. Again, what am I paying for?
3. Customer Service Is a Mess
I asked for a refund and had to follow up FIVE times just to get a response from Jennifer Urso, the VP. She canceled on me multiple times and didn’t show up to one of our calls — super unprofessional. When we finally talked, she didn’t even apologize for ghosting me until I brought it up.
I work full-time, so it was really frustrating to make time for a call that she didn’t bother showing up to. On top of that, when I gave feedback about the personal statement process, Renee Marinelli (another one of their leads) told me that the personal statement shouldn’t answer “Why medicine” — which is literally the point of the prompt. That was a clear attempt at gaslighting to save face, and it just made the situation worse.
4. Interview Prep Was a Waste of Time
I paid for interview prep but didn’t even get to use it properly. I had one interview — in Canada — and the prep I got was for U.S.-style interviews, which was totally different. It didn’t help at all. Again, you’re better off asking a med student or doing mock interviews with friends.
If you're considering this service, PLEASE do not. This review does not even allow me to put an email address.
I will share everything — receipts, examples, writing drafts — whatever you need.

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Again, I am sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations and want you to know we take your concerns seriously.
While your initial advisor match wasn’t ideal (as we previously discussed) our team acted quickly to make a reassignment and ensure better alignment. We appreciate the time you invested working on critical components of your application, and we understand how disappointing the outcome must have been.
We remain committed to your success and are here to support you moving forward. Our strong recommendation remains to expand your DO school list more broadly, particularly since only three were included in your last application cycle. Doing so may meaningfully increase your chances of receiving interview invitations.
Thank you again for your honesty—we’re here to help however we can.
