Keep the human side of interview prep

About m.i ready.

m.i ready is one-on-one coaching for medical school interviews in Australia and the UK. It was started by a final-year medical student. Every coach is a current medical student who has been through a medical school interview.

A letter from our founder

Dear future doctor,

Smiling medical students and junior doctors in scrubs and white coats walking down a hospital corridor.
Where it all leads.

I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was six years old, when I first started reading about how the human body works. Today I’m a final-year medical student, and that feeling hasn’t faded. I still love the idea of saving lives, and of helping others to do the same.

But the road here wasn’t straight. The one thing that kept standing between me and medicine was the interview. I sat interview after interview believing I could wing it, and every time I underestimated how much it mattered. It was only when I finally got in that I understood what I had been getting wrong.

I never forgot those lessons. In my little dorm room at medical school, I began passing them on: first to family and friends, then to their friends. That’s also where I met my future wife. She became my biggest motivation, and she helped me see something simple: I didn’t have to wait until I was a doctor to start helping people.

So I took it seriously. I broke the whole interview system down from start to finish: how each university designs its interview, what its selection criteria really reward, how examiners judge warmth, ethics and communication, and where strong candidates quietly lose marks. Then I built it into a structured way of teaching, one skill at a time.

And it worked. One after another, my students were offered their places. To this day, 100% of our students who have received their result have been offered a place in medicine.

Along the way I noticed a gap. There are tutors for the UCAT, for chemistry and for biology, but hardly anyone sits down with a future doctor as a person and shows them how to get through the interview. These are people who want to spend their lives caring for others. They deserve someone in their corner.

That is what m.i ready is built on: love. For people, for the ones I love, and for a future full of kind, caring and dedicated doctors.

Today I’m proud to lead a team of doctors in the making from medical schools across Australia and the UK, many of whom I once helped into medicine myself. Every one of them came to me unsure of what lay ahead, just as you might feel now. They share the same vision I do, and they genuinely care about you, and about the patients you will one day look after.

We’re with you for the whole journey: not just to help you pass your interview, but to help you grow into the doctor, and the person, you want to be. This is the first step to the rest of your life.

Every time a student opens that acceptance letter, it feels as though I have gotten into medicine all over again. I can’t wait to feel that with you.

It starts here. I hope to see you on the wards one day.

Best wishes, with love,

Awais

Founder, final-year medical student

Our mission

keep the human side of interview prep.

At a medical school interview, people assess you. They watch how you listen, how you explain your thinking and how you treat the person in front of you.

So we think you should practice with people too. AI tools and question lists can help you start. They cannot tell you how you come across to a real assessor.

That is why every session is one-on-one with a current medical student, and why the feedback is honest, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.

What that looks like

  • A real person watches you answer, live
  • Feedback on what you said and how you said it
  • A written summary after every session
  • Practice built around your university’s real format

How we train future doctors

think. train. perform.

Think.

Reason through any question out loud, in a structure a marker can follow, even one you have never seen.

Train.

Practice under real pressure, on camera, with feedback that is honest while there is still time to fix it.

Perform.

Walk in calm, clear and yourself, so what they see on the day is the doctor you are becoming.

Practice before theory

You attempt real-style questions cold, then we teach. Skill is built by retrieving under pressure, not by reading.

Little and often

Skills improve over weeks, not the night before. Spaced sessions with practice between them make it stick.

Deliberate, targeted work

We find the exact thing costing you marks and fix that first, instead of practicing everything equally.

Pressure you have felt before

Mocks that match the real format mean interview day feels familiar. Nerves become fuel.

Small gains that compound

One habit fixed each session. Over a season, those add up to a different candidate.

Communication that connects

Listening, warmth and real interest in the person in front of you. The qualities great doctors share.

What we teach is built around what universities and medical boards say they look for in the people they trust with patients. The method itself is for students: we tease, we do not publish it.

FIG. 3Honest, including when the news is not good.

honest, human, specialist.

  • We do one thing. The interview. Not a UCAT company with an interview add-on.
  • We make no promises about offers. Universities decide who gets a place. We say so openly.
  • We publish only what is true. 100% of our students who have received their result have been offered a place in medicine. The day it changes, the wording changes.
  • We keep questions private. Every practice question we publish is retired from coaching. We never use real or leaked interview questions.
Our standards

the standards behind our teaching.

Medical schools choose people they believe will become good doctors. So we teach to the same public standards that doctors and medical schools work to, in Australia and the UK.

United Kingdom

We use these public documents to shape what we teach: ethics, communication, professionalism and the values interviewers look for.

m.i ready is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or accredited by the GMC, the AMC, Ahpra or the Medical Board of Australia.

Our free guides

how we write and check our guides.

Our university pages and guides are written by the m.i ready coaching team: current medical students who have sat medical school interviews.

We check admissions facts, like interview format and timing, against each university’s own pages and the national admissions pages. We list those sources at the end of each guide.

Interview details change every year. Your invitation email and the university’s own website are always the final word.
