In 2007, Sahil Mehta knew he was onto something. After successfully graduating from Columbia University and entering into the fray of the the medical school application system, he quickly realized what admissions people were looking for. Great grades and MCAT scores were important, but medical school admissions members know that this does not make a great physician. They wanted students who had a story, students who were diversified, students who could look at a patient and say “it’s going to be okay,” and who would become healers.

Dr. Mehta started simply by helping a few friends improve their applications. He advised them to take the right classes, write better essays, and show passion for the profession during interviews.
Before long, word had caught on and MedSchoolCoach expanded. The very first coaches hired on by Dr. Mehta had to meet a few criteria: they had to be actual physicians (because physicians can best help those looking to go to medical school) and they had to have admissions experience. And they had to love being coaches.
From the start, MedSchoolCoach was not focused on profits. It was focused on students. We took on a limited number of students every year. Every year, we had more students that wanted to work with us, but we said no.
Why would a business turn down clients? Simple, this wasn't a business in the traditional sense. We did not worry about profits, we worried about providing awesome service to every student who came our way.
As time marched on, we kept getting bigger. We invested $0 into marketing. Instead, we invested into our students who referred their friends, who then told their friends.
Before long, we had put a few hundred students into medical school, and then a few thousand. They kept in touch with us, asking for help through their entire medical school journey. So we decided it was time to pursue it. By creating MCAT and USMLE/COMLEX products that focused on the same principles as our admissions coaching, we continued the tradition of providing great service.
MedSchoolCoach grew the right way, prioritizing great service over profits. Along the way, we have become the only company that could take a student from day 1 of college through match day with all the help they would need.
With physician advisors who have been residency program directors, we take our knowledge to help you match into the best program for you in the specialty of your choice.
MedSchoolCoach is the only program that can take you from day 1 of your pre-med journey until you graduate as a practicing physician.

I was actually hesitant when I first used MedSchoolCoach; it was a lot of money and I wasn’t sure how much help I really needed. I am so glad that I ended up using their services! My advisor (Audrey Jordan) was phenomenal and helped me navigate the shipwreck that is medical school admissions even in the most challenging of times. The advice, edits, and support that I received though med school coach undoubtedly aided in my success to attend my top choice allopathic program in the fall.
MedSchoolCoach provided me with a phenomenal advisor that helped me perfect my primary and secondary essays. This led me to be accepted into two allopathic medical schools and interview throughout the country. I would highly recommend!
MCAT Tutoring with MedSchoolCoach was Awesome! Coral, Connor, and Ken were amazing tutors. My score went up 19 points from my diagnostic exam (496 to a 515) working with them. I am a sociology major and took the exam a month after finishing my first semester of biology. When I set my target score to 515 I thought I was being overly optimistic and I really wasn’t expecting to reach it the first go around. I purchased the platinum package and MedSchoolCoach’s master tutor Ken took my target score really seriously and worked with me to build a custom study schedule to get me there. Coral was my tutor for the Chem/Phys and Bio/Biochem sections and Connor for Psych/Soc. They were both awesome! They both had so much experience and knowledge about the exam and how things come up, and they really made sure I had everything down. Thank you guys so much for all your help!
MedSchoolCoach was an absolutely incredible service. I used them first for med school applications and I could not have been happier with the service they provided. Their counselors were responsive, and went so far out of their way to help put together the perfect application.
Extremely patient, helpful, insightful, and cooperative individuals. Truly have helped make my medical school application more competitive and I am more confident in not only my application and myself. Small investment for help from great people!
