Interviews and Post-Interviews Advising — Mid-Cycle Package
This is a shorter version of the "Get Into Your Dream Medical School — Complete Package" built for students who have already submitted their primary and secondaries. Included in this package, the Coach can help: (1) Brainstorm responses to common interview questions, both general and school-specific (2) Conduct mock interviews and provide feedback on your responses, body language, speech, etc. (3) Craft update letters where relevant to send pre or post-interview (4) Navigate waitlist strategies and the decision-making process when choosing the school you will end up matriculating into and more. This is merely a foundational list and can be added upon depending on the client's timing and needs.
What's included
- A clear application timeline and plan, to ensure you stay on track and hit medical school application deadlines.
- Confidence to ace admissions interviews through mock interviews and additional role plays for difficult-to-answer questions.
- Employment of waitlist strategies if applicable and assistance with the decision-making process.

Gloria L.
M2 at Northwestern, 10+ MD Acceptances, Highly Versed in Admissions
Hello, my name is Gloria and I am a recent graduate of Case Western Reserve University with my B.A. in Biology and B.S. in Finance. I didn’t officially decide I wanted to become a physician until my first year of college. I felt overwhelmed—I knew classmates who had been preparing since middle school and were way more familiar with how medical school admissions and the healthcare/research spheres operated. However, initiative goes a long way. I connected with upperclassmen, medical students, physicians, and departments such as career centers and undergraduate research offices, asked questions during webinars and meetings with admissions committee members, and took near-every opportunity to learn more about what it means to be a physician/who you’ll work with, the process from college until becoming a fully-fledged attending, and how to craft your story. Three years later, I tackled the AMCAS application and a whopping 40 secondaries—definitely not with ease, but with a sense of purpose and clarity. All the advice I had received prior and the experiences I had under my belt involving writing, pitches, reflections, and interpersonal skills allowed me to feel and most importantly be ready for what was to come. For all but one secondary, I submitted them the day I received it because I had already pre-written and heavily revised my responses an average of 2x each. When it came to interviews, I was ready 3-5 days in advance. This led to 15 interview invites and 13 acceptances/2 waitlists. I couldn’t have asked for a process that was more smooth-running, which is not necessarily the adjective you’d think of when it comes to admissions.
