Real Student Testimonials

"I got into Saint Louis Medical school! Thank you so much for your help these last six months. I don't know if I could have gotten this far without your advice and training. I remember how difficult it was pushing out the initial application, going through what felt like a gauntlet of drafts, and appreciate your patience and eye for detail. Both of you spotted things I completely missed and shaped my application in a way that was focused. Then with interviews, I can't tell you how nervous I was. I fell back to the patterns I developed practicing alone and during the mock interviews to really get me through. Again, thank you so much for your help. I will remember what I learned for residency applications years from now."
Nate​Current Applicant, Northeastern Undergraduate
"I was worried about getting into medical schools because I went to a school that did not have great pre-med advising. With the Cracking Med School Admissions team’s help, I got accepted to Harvard and UPenn. I eventually chose UPenn on a full scholarship."
RyanAccepted to University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Medical Schools
"I was worried about my personal statement and how I could make myself stand out in my essays and my interviews. The Cracking Med School Admissions team edited endless drafts of my essays and gave extremely valuable and honest advice on med school admissions."​
DianeMatriculated to University of California, Davis Medical School
"The Cracking Med School Admissions team is great. Not only did Rachel and Rishi provide excellent essay revisions and interview prep, but they went above and beyond by promptly offering key insights and strategies as my questions arose during the application process. I highly recommend the Cracking Med School Admissions for helping to optimize the application and efficiently manage the intense interview process."
JasonMatriculated to University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
"It’s been two months since my interview at the Medical College of Georgia and I just found out I was accepted! THANK YOU!!!! I have also been accepted to other medical schools in the South. The Cracking Med School Admissions team is the reason I did so well on my med school interviews! You helped me structure my answers and incorporate my internships and passions in bio-engineering. Thanks again!"
SnehaMatriculated to University of Georgia Medical School
"I often think back to our very first premed advising meeting and how you guys have helped me come so far along. I would have never pursued a Fellowship in the U.K. without you. Thank you so much for your help! You advice has been invaluable and has changed my life."
MonicaCurrent applicant, Duke Undegrad
"Thank you for helping both my son and daughter through the medical school application process. Our family was lost and overwhelmed without you." "Both Rishi and Rachel walked us through every part of the medical school application process, and they worked with my children for hours on end to make sure their medical school applications were as strong as possible. Through several mock interviews, my children became much more confident and savvy in answering tough interview questions."

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Rachel Rizal and Rishi Mediratta will be your application coaches. We love mentoring and advising. We see ourselves as your mentors for life! 🙂 

Dr. Rachel Rizal and Dr. Rishi Mediratta will be the doctors editing your AMCAS work & activities, personal statement, and secondary essays. We do not hire other consultants. So rest assured, you will receive top-tier feedback!

Offering unlimited revisions allows us to guide students through the entire writing process. In the first draft, we focus on the overall structure, narrative, and organization. In subsequent drafts, we help with intra-paragraph organization, topic sentences, and crafting solid reflections within stories. Finally, as essays near submission, we review grammar, tone, sentence structure, and word choice. Our essay feedback is extremely individualized, and we meet students wherever they are in the writing process. If necessary, we provide both big-picture and grammar feedback across all your essays, depending on the state of your draft! Everything we do is highly personalized.

Many of the students we’ve worked with for medical school applications are now our advisees for residency applications. That shows the level of trust, success, and long-term mentorship our mentees have when working with us!

You definitely want physicians to be reading and editing your essays! Dr. Rizal and Dr. Mediratta  will be reading all your essays, so you will be in great hands.  We do not outsource your essays to anyone else. 

First, your essays will be stronger because we have knowledge about clinical medicine. For example, let’s say that you write about a trauma patient that you had in the Emergency Department. Dr. Rizal and Dr. Mediratta will first check for the clinical accuracy as you paint a riveting story. But that’s not all – we will use our clinical knowledge to push you more: What insights did you learn from this patient encounter? What did you learn about being a great physician?

Another advantage is that we understand a career in medicine. As you can read from our bios, we have interdisciplinary careers that have intertwined clinical medicine, public health, public policy, research, global health, business, and entrepreneurship. Many students are inspired by our backgrounds, and we help students think about how they want to craft their careers. Then, we have students write their career ideas in their secondary application essays. Our students display their passions in medicine + other aspects of healthcare in a way that makes them stand out! This is especially important for getting accepted to mid-tier to top-tier schools as well as schools with an urban health / community health focus.

Finally, Dr. Rizal and Dr. Mediratta are physicians who understand medical school and residency applications. We have a deep understanding of the clinical curriculum and what makes different medical schools different. Why does this matter? Because in your secondary essays and interviews, you will be asked, “Why do you want to go to this medical school?” We will guide you as to what makes each med school stand out and let you know if your reasons to go to a specific medical school are too generic. Our goal is to help you stand out. We will make sure that you convince the admissions committees with personalized reasons as to why you should get admitted!

We aim to turnaround your edits within 48 hours. We start reading your application materials, strategizing, and editing essays the same you send them. The turnaround time depends on the deadline, what medical school you are working on, how many secondary essays there are for a given school (secondary applications), what draft you are working on, and how well you write. In general, we like speaking with every student before he or she signs up for an application package. Please email us directly at info@crackingmedadmissions.com or contact us below so we can explain our process and understand your situation.  

Your interviewers will be the Cracking Med School Admissions interview team. The ideal mix of your mock interviews will be half of your interviews with Dr. Mediratta or Dr. Rizal and the other half with the other individuals on our interview team. 

We have found that this is a great combination because we want to make sure you can convey your strengths and narrative to individuals who don’t know you (have not read your essays or have not chatted with you through premed advising). You will have to “sell yourself” to somebody who you don’t know, and this better simulates what you have to do in your real medical school interviews.

All our medical school interviewers have been trained and vetted by Dr. Rizal and Dr. Mediratta. Everyone on our interview team is A+ quality 🙂 

We will ask you details about your medical school interview. What medical school? What’s the interview format? When is your interview?

Then, we will schedule a mock interview with you. 

Each mock interview is typically 75 to 90 minutes. During this time, we will ask you several questions and give you our frank and direct feedback. If we need to practice some responses again and again, we will do so. This interview preparation is personalized and tailored for each student to shine!

The Mastering the Multiple Mini Interview course was created by Dr. Rachel Rizal. The course is the GOLD STANDARD if you want to stand out on your MMIs. It helps students create frameworks to be ready for any type of Multiple Mini Interview question for their interview day! Additionally, there are timed practice questions and practice tests. For more information about the course content, please visit this website: Mastering the Multiple Mini Interview Online Course

The Mastering the Multiple Mini Interview course is included in the Diamond and Diamond Plus packages. Almost all students who purchase a Silver or Gold package will add the MMI course a la carte if they receive a Multiple Mini Interview invitation. 

Students utilize the monthly 1-hour advising calls for various reasons. Dr. Rachel Rizal and Dr. Rishi Mediratta can help you with a wide range of questions and concerns. Each call is tailored to YOU and YOUR application. Here are common topics we discuss during our advising calls:

  • Overall medical school application strategy
  • Set timeline and deadlines for application materials
  • Extra-curricular activity and leadership planning and building
  • Letter of recommendation planning – who you will ask your letters of recommendations from, how to ask your letter of recommenders for references, and what content each recommender will highlight about you.
  • AMCAS application questions, including which activities to include or combine
  • Personal statement brainstorming
  • School list selections
  • Understand what makes each medical school unique
  • Brainstorming for secondary essays
  • Brainstorm interview responses
