MedSchoolCoach Review
worked with Dr. Choo and Wendy during my medical school application cycle. Working with Dr. Choo before and throughout my gap year really helped me navigate how to approach specific opportunities. She was also extremely responsive and provided helpful advice whenever I reached out to her. I found Dr. Choo and Wendy’s feedback especially valuable when building my medical school list, editing my activities section, and approaching secondary essay topics. I also used the interview platform, which was incredibly beneficial to my application experience. Every physician I worked with gave me valuable pointers and practical advice on how to structure and improve my responses, and I was able to see an immediate improvement in my interview style. Dr. Sharon Thompson, Dr. James Li, and Dr. Kate Spencer were instrumental in helping me develop an interview format and framework that worked for me, and I am extremely grateful to have practiced with them! The only aspect of the service that did not meet the same high standard was the personal statement writing support. As someone who struggles with narrative writing, I was expecting more individualized guidance in developing a compelling and cohesive story. Although I received feedback and editing assistance, I ultimately felt that my personal statement remained somewhat stale and did not fully capture my personality or represent my experiences as openly and authentically as I had hoped. I would have benefited from more collaborative brainstorming and deeper guidance on how to bring my experiences to life, rather than primarily focusing on revisions to my existing draft. Overall, I am grateful to have used this service during my medical school application cycle, and I would definitely use the interview platform again!
