Frequently Asked Questions
MedSchoolCoach believes that the best advisors are physicians who have experience with the admissions process. That is why your advisor will be an actual physician who has helped hundreds of students navigate the medical school application process. They have the knowledge of what medical schools are looking for and also can provide the mentorship that a student needs as they embark on the journey of becoming a physician.
Our advising team works to ensure that every student is paired with the best advisor for their situation. You are free to request an advisor, and we will make every effort to accommodate. However, there are circumstances where an advisor may not be available or there may be a better advisor for your profile and questions than you’ve indicated, and our advising team will make that determination.
You will work directly with your Physician Advisor to schedule sessions that accommodate everyone’s schedules, which can include nights and weekends.
Yes, parent participation is welcome in various aspects of the process. However, particularly for Pre-Med Coach, we strongly encourage students to work with advisors independently so that they may learn new skills, such as strategic thinking, independence, and responsibility. These are the skills that medical schools look for in their applicants!
Academic advisors can be a fantastic resource for students, however, there are a few key differences. Academic advisors are almost never physicians, so they lack the real-world expertise of our physician advisors. Often, they are also tasked with guiding students broadly on every career path imaginable, so their knowledge of the specifics that medical schools are looking for can be limited. Finally, academic advisors are often stretched thin, meeting with students for as little as 15 minutes every year, so they are unable to provide the personalized, in-depth guidance necessary for a successful application. Your personal MedSchoolCoach physician advisors provide custom feedback based on individual interests and needs and are always available.
The goal of our Pre-Med Coach product is to get you ready to put together a standout medical school application through multiple years of coaching and mentorship. The package does not include help with the actual application. However, all our Pre-Med Coach students are given a 10% discount on our admissions packages, and you will be extremely well positioned to put together a great application. Typically students will transition to an application package around January of their junior year.
Your odds at admission will be best with extracurricular activities that combine your own passions and interests with scientifically relevant experiences. Your Pre-Med Coach will help you determine the right fit for you.
They can communicate with you via CHART, our proprietary communications hub. They may also use phone and video conference. CHART allows for timeline management using a goal-oriented system to ensure everyone is on the same page. If desired, parents/guardians may also have their own login credentials to our comprehensive application management software platform, ensuring that they can track progress and communications with the physician advisor.
We have a 30-day refund policy, which allows you to meet with your physician advisor to ensure that you’re satisfied with choosing MedSchoolCoach. Learn more about our Terms of Service.
