I worked with Dr. Ruby from the end of M3 all the way through Match Day, and his insights proved invaluable. Deciding on aways, collating essays, making an application list, prepping for interviews, and ranking my programs came with many questions, all of which Dr. Ruby answered in a timely, thorough, and honest manner. He was easy to talk to and gave straightforward, no nonsense advice. I'd highly recommend him as an advisor, especially for those applying into surgery.

You know that feeling when you or a loved one has a health crisis and you feel panic? Then, you see an expert physician who just knows the path ahead of you then reassures you everything will be okay. It’s absolutely liberating.
I had spent thousands of dollars applying to medical school on my own and did not get accepted anywhere. In fact, I didn’t get an interview anywhere. I had a future career crisis and thought I would have to go back to college and pursue an alternate path. It felt similar to a loved one in a health crisis.
In came med school coach. Specifically, Dr. Weintrub, who is an advisor. After he mapped out how we were going to get me an acceptance, I had the exact same comfort and peace when an experienced physician cares for you or a loved one. I felt hope and confidence.
The difference between med school coach/Dr. Weintrub vs. any other medical school advising company is the result. Anyone could trick you and provide false hope to get you into medical school. The difference here is that Dr. Weintrub actually helped me get into medical school. How? He didn’t write my essays. He didn’t give me money to apply to more schools. He didn’t make a phone call to some admissions committee to get me in. He simply has the expertise and experience with medical school admissions to provide strategies that work.
Prior to my work with Dr. Weintrub, I was a failed medical school applicant who was about to change career paths. Today, I am putting on a white coat and pursuing my dream of providing healthcare to those in need. Yes, I did the work with college performance, countless hours of volunteering, and hundreds of application essays. But Dr. Weintrub gave me confidence, hope, expertise, and friendship that I desperately needed as a reapplicant. He was always available for me and he always had reassuring answers. I would do the whole tedious and exhausting marathon of medical school applications again if I had Dr. Weintrub by my side. That’s how much I enjoyed working with him. I would recommend med school coach, specifically Dr. Weintrub, to anyone who is serious about getting into medical school. That man is indeed an expert. So yes, I give this company and Dr. Weintrub 5 stars. I would give them more stars if possible all because they helped me achieve my dream!

I cannot believe I got in! Seriously, I could not have done it without MSC. 506 MCAT and 3.4 GPA - thought I had an outside shot at best, but my advisor really completely help me revamp how I went about the process and it worked. The software they use was great, although sometimes buggy, to keep things on track and communication but what I really found that was amazing were all the people. I talked to a few companies, but from the start it felt different with medschool coach and it really was. Everyone was fantastic and felt like they really cared about my success and here I am! In!
My interviewer, Dr. Chopra, was great! It was a great mock process and I definitely felt really much much better going into the real thing.

My son went from zero interviews and zero offers to 8 interviews (so far), 5 offers and 2 wait lists. Still waiting to hear back from about 50% of the schools he applied to. He has obviously heard no from a handful, but that is to be expected. Neither his grades nor MCAT changed from one year to the next. They helped revise his application and prep for interviews. Worth every dime.
UPDATE: More schools are asking for interviews at this late stage (March) of the process. Still a handful that have not responded one way or the other. This could come down to the wire, but in a GOOD way!
Again, my son's test score and GPA did not change from one year to the next. Med School Coach made the difference.

I had a negative experience with this medical school coaching program. I found that the advisors did not meet my expectations in terms of qualifications. Additionally, I was initially informed that my payment would be fully refundable, but I did not receive a refund for my first installment. I would recommend thoroughly reviewing the program's policies before enrolling.

My tutor experience was unmatched!
A combination of fun, productivity, and comfortable learning environment that increased my confidence
My tutor did an excellent job at breaking down scary complex topics into simple to understand concepts and a “what you need to know” basis - something that truly saved me hours of energy and studying on my own

I paid this company $4,500 for help with my medical school application and almost $1,000 for MCAT prep tutoring. After a couple of the tutoring sessions, I said I wanted to cancel the rest. The medical school application advisor spoke with me on the phone for an initial intake session and it was nice. But, after that day the only contact she had was to return the essays I would send her for editing, just a hair before the 72-hours deadline. So essentially I paid around $5,000 just to have somebody correct my sentence structure on a handful of short essays. No great insight was offered by this company, no tailor-made plan to help me better advance myself, not even a second phone call did my thousands of dollars get me...This is not how this company advertises itself. It is pretty clear that they painstakingly curate their online reviews in order to bluff students into paying them their ludicrous fees.

Hi. My name is Jennifer Urso and I am the VP of Services at MedSchoolCoach. Thank you for the feedback you provided. I would love the opportunity to discuss this further with you. My email address is [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you and possibly scheduling time to discuss this further. Thank you.
I had my mock interview yesterday and it was my first ever prep interview. Definitely felt like he was being honest, and I will surely use his recommendations to craft a wonderful interview!
Every physician I have worked with during interview prep is amazing. The sessions always end up with me learning something or feeling more confident and has helped me through my interview process greatly.
