Medical School Interview Packages

Traditional one-on-one mock medical school interview:

Before your traditional mock med school interview with Cracking Med School Admissions, your medical school interview coach will read your AMCAS application + secondary application in detail. 

The first level of specificity is asking you questions related to your background. We will of course ask you the common medical school interview questions throughout your mock interview. But, we will also ask specific questions related to your extra-curricular activities.

The next level of individualization is that we tailor the questions we ask you based on what medical school you will be interviewing at and your personal background. We have received detailed post-interview feedback from hundreds of applicants, so we have a good grasp of the types of questions applicants may receive during their real interview day for a particular school.  For example, some medical schools value urban health while others value rural health. Some medical schools want to understand how you will become a healthcare leader. Still other medical schools want to understand your personal beliefs and values. 

Finally, all the feedback you will receive from your medical school interview coach is specific to you. All our feedback is specific to your answers and how you were able to navigate through the interview. If you need help crafting answers to common medical school questions, we will spend time during our feedback session to help you craft better responses. If we notice a pattern in your speaking or if something is lacking in your answers, we will point that out and give examples on how you can improve! 

MMI Mock Medical School Interview:

Your medical school interview coach will emulate your mock MMI as closely as possible to your actual interview. If you have 2 minutes to think + 6-8 minutes to respond, that is what we will do during our mock MMI interview with you! 

Please let us know what medical school you will interviewing at, the timing of the MMI stations, and any other information the medical school admissions committee gives you. We will tailor your MMI towards the specific medical school you will be interviewing at. Again, this shows the level of personalization we have for each student. Our ability to know what type of questions each medical school asks also shows our deep EXPERTISE with medicals school admissions. 

Most medical schools have ethical, traditional, and situational MMI stations. We will definitely have an array of MMI stations that cover those type of scenarios. Some schools, however, have team-based, creative, acting, or innovation-related MMI questions. We also know that medical schools ask questions related to its local current events. We will make sure to tailor our MMI questions and stations towards the specific medical school you will be interviewing at.

Yes! We have helped medical school applicants prepare more generally for medical school interviews. For example, we will spend the mock interview going question by question and create responses for each question.

However, we find that it is BEST to prepare for a specific upcoming medical school interview through a full mock interview. This way, if you are interviewing at X medical school, we will ask questions like “Why do you want to come to X medical school?”

We will help you tailor your message and interview answers for a specific school. We know the nuances of all medical schools around the nation, including MD med schools and DO med schools. We know what each school likes to emphasize, and we’ll make sure you hit those points during your interview!

Many students who work with us will purchase a 4-mock interview package (with a $100 discount). They will have a mix of MD and DO interviews as well as a mix of panel and one-on-one interviews.

If you have an MMI for any med school interview, including for an osteopathic school, we strongly recommend doing a mock interview through with the Mastering the Multiple Mini Interview course. 

Our students work with us to prepare for BOTH Multiple Mini Interviews and traditional one-on-one interviews. Group interviews or panel interviews are rarer in the medical school interview circuit. But, we can help you with those styles of interviews too!

For each type of interview, students typically do 1-4 mock interviews. The more practice you have with us, the more we can refine your skills! 

You will receive brutally honest feedback from our team. Our goal through our medical school interview coaching and mock interview sessions is to make you an exceptional interviewer.

Here are some elements our medical school interview coaches are looking for:

• Did you convey your strengths? What makes you special as an applicant?
• Were you able to convey your 
• Did you answer questions related to your specific activities? We will be grilling you throughout your med school mock interview.

Feedback Tailored to Your Performance and Application:

All the feedback you will receive from your medical school interview coach is specific to you. We never give generic feedback. Everything is specific to your answers and how you were able to navigate through the interview. If you need help on crafting answers to common medical school questions, we will spend time during our feedback session to help you craft better responses. If we notice a pattern in your speaking or if something is lacking in your answers, we will point that out and give examples on how you can improve! 

We focus on how you can further stand out – what are specific ways you can change your interview responses to stand out more as an applicant? If your answers are already great, how can we make them exceptional? We will be giving you ideas on how to give stronger answers.

How do you know if you are at the stage of an exceptional applicant? You have full control over the direction (content) of your interview AND you have fine tuned both common and uncommon interview questions.
