What the interview counts for

the interview can count as much as your marks.

Where a university publishes it, the interview is a set share of your final ranking. Here is what each one says.

  • 75% Western Sydney
  • 50% UQ, UWA, Charles Darwin
  • 40% Curtin, Adelaide
  • 33% Monash (direct entry: ATAR, UCAT and MMI weighted equally)

Share of the final ranking, where published, for undergraduate entry in 2027. From each university’s admissions pages, checked October 2026. Rules change, so check your university’s official page. See every Australian medical school

  • 50% Edinburgh 50% (Assessment Day) + 50% pre-interview score
  • 50% Newcastle 50% interview, 50% pre-interview score
  • 50% Aberdeen 50% interview, 30% academics, 20% UCAT
  • 50% East Anglia (UEA) 50% interview, 50% UCAT

Why practice with a person

a list of questions cannot tell you how you sound.

Most applicants prepare alone. That is a good start, but it misses the part the interviewer sees.

On your own

  • Question lists and model answers, until your answers start to sound rehearsed
  • Videos show you what a good answer looks like, not how you look giving one
  • An AI app can check your words, but not your warmth, your pace or your eye contact
  • No one pushes back with the follow-up question
  • Hard to tell what to fix first

With a person

  • A current medical student hears every answer, live
  • Follow-up questions that push back, the way interviewers do
  • Honest feedback on how you come across: pace, warmth and clarity
  • Practice in your university’s format and timing
  • A written summary after every session, so you know what to fix first

AI tools can help you drill questions. A person tells you how you come across.

What we help with

the skills interviewers are looking for.

Medical schools use interviews to see how you think, how you treat people and how you handle pressure. We work on those skills, not on scripts. Memorised answers tend to fall apart at the first follow-up question.

  • Thinking on your feet

    Handling a scenario you have never seen, and staying clear when a follow-up question pushes back.

  • Communication

    Saying what you mean in a calm, clear way, in the time you have. Live, on camera or to a panel.

  • Empathy

    Listening first and responding to the person in front of you, especially in role-play stations.

  • Ethical reasoning

    Weighing up a hard situation fairly and explaining your reasons, not reaching for a stock answer.

  • The human side of medicine

    Teamwork, honesty, insight into the job and what it asks of you. Why you, why medicine, and why now.

How it works

how medical school interview coaching works.

This is the journey with Interview Ready, our most popular package. You always know what comes next, and how fast you move depends on your interview date.

  1. Free call

    15 minutes with a coach. We talk about your universities and your dates.

  2. Diagnostic session

    Your first 60-minute session. You leave with a skill profile and 3 starting priorities.

  3. Specialist sessions

    Two more one-on-one sessions on your priorities, in your universities’ formats. A written record after each.

  4. Mock 1 + report

    A full mock in your university’s real format. Then a written report, an action plan and a private debrief.

  5. Mocks 2 and 3

    Two more mocks track your progress. Your plan is updated after each one.

  6. Final check

    We review one response after your final mock, so you know exactly what to keep and what to fix.

  7. Interview day

    You walk in prepared, from the inside out.

Formats we coach

built around your university’s format.

Each school runs its interview differently. Your coaching follows the format, timing and style of the schools you are applying to.

Live MMI

Short stations, each with a new scenario and often a new interviewer, in person or on video.

Recorded MMI

You read a prompt and answer to a camera with no one there. Timing and nerves feel very different.

Panel interview

A longer conversation with two or more interviewers, with follow-up questions on your answers.

Academic interview

A subject conversation with tutors, like the college interviews at Oxford and Cambridge.

human, not a chatbot.

People assess you at interview, so practice with people. Only a person can tell you honestly how you come across: your pauses, your eye contact, the moment you lost them.

That is the human side of interview prep. Real people, real and honest feedback, and a coach who has sat in your seat. The goal: on the day, you are so good they can’t say no.

Group program or one-on-one

one-on-one, not a lecture hall.

Group programs teach many students at once. We work with you, on your answers, for your universities.

Group programs

  • One-on-one specialist time Typically about an hour
  • Written report after every mock Not usually
  • Plan built around your universities One program for everyone
  • The same coach who knows your file Not usually
  • Written record after every session Not usually

m.i ready

  • One-on-one specialist time 3 to 10 hours, depending on your package
  • Written report after every mock A report, action plan and debrief
  • Plan built around your universities Built for up to 2 or 3 universities
  • The same coach who knows your file Your specialist follows your progress
  • Written record after every session After every session

Coaching questions.

How many sessions do people usually book?

It depends on your interview date, your format and where you are starting from. Your coach suggests a plan on the free call and after your first session. We never push sessions you do not need, and you can see the packages before you decide.

How much does coaching cost?

Essentials is $799 early-bird price, then $999£399 early-bird price, then £499, Interview Ready is $2999 early-bird price, then $3499£1499 early-bird price, then £1749 and Future Doctor+ is $5999 early-bird price, then $6999£2999 early-bird price, then £3499. If your interview is very soon, the last-minute crash course is $599 early-bird price, then $699£299 early-bird price, then £349. These prices are in Australian dollarsBritish pounds, with no booking fees. Compare the packages. Early-bird prices apply until 11:59 pm GMT on 10 Nov or until the first 10 students have paid, whichever comes first. Then the regular prices apply. See the early-bird offer terms.

Is the coaching online?

Yes. Sessions are one-on-one and online, at a time that suits you. We coach students in Australian and UK time zones.

Who are the coaches?

Current medical students at Australian and UK medical schools who have been through medical school interviews themselves. Meet the coaches.

What happens on the free call?

Fifteen minutes on where you are applying, your format and your dates, and an honest read of where you stand. We suggest a plan and send the details in writing. There is no pressure to decide on the call.

My interview is next week. Can you still help?

Yes. With a short time, we focus on your format, your timing and the few changes that make the biggest difference. Book a free call and tell us your date. In the meantime, read our guide to preparing for an MMI.

How is this different from AI practice tools?

AI tools can be useful for drilling questions. But people assess you at interview, so you need a person to tell you honestly how you come across: your pace, your warmth, and the moment you lost the listener. Every session is with a real coach who has been through it.
