This platform was an incredible discovery for me as an ms3. As someone without a home program in General Surgery, working with Dr Kiernan was a godsend. From helping me plan and secure my top choice away rotations, to revising my personal statement & application, and helping me prep for literally every single type of interview question I got all the way through matching my #1 program in California, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her constant guidance, insight, and support.

Unfortunately there are just things medical schools don’t cover when it comes to strategy or subspecialty guidance if you lack a home program and my advisor helped me navigate every single one of those points between MS3 and Matching.

Any student who is struggling with finding high quality mentorship or support ahead of the residency application process should strongly consider working with a matchpal advisor.

Needed some guidance on how to approach ERAS and my retake exam after a Level1 failure.

Worked with Dr Turner on revising and strategizing around my OB residency app and Dr Thomas for COMLEX prep and both were fantastic.
Passed my retake, honored all of my MS3 rotations, and matched my preferred specialty thanks to these two amazing docs and the rest of the MatchPal team that helped make it happen!

There are a lot of tutoring companies out there, but almost none focus specifically on the COMLEX exam from people who took the test and scored well on it themselves

That’s what stood out to me about Matchpal and why I used them for COMLEX level one and level two prep.

Ellena was so knowledgeable, supportive, and consistent with me throughout the entire time. She’s a god send for anyone looking for tutoring for these exams.

Got paired with an excellent tutor for my COMLEX level 2 retake. Thank you so much to the matchpal team and Dr Foss for helping me boost my score by over 150 points on the 2nd attempt.

The included OMM Bootcamp was also super clutch as many of my OMM questions were covered in the course!

Was initially hesitant about working with a platform like this but after reflecting on the last few months I am so happy I took the step to work with matchpal.

My internal medicine advisor completely tore apart my PS, helped me rewrite every single one of my ERAS experiences, and worked with me to come up with a signal token strategy that has already started to yield interviews.

Still waiting todo my mock interviews which were included in the bundle that I got, but thus far the experience has been nothing short of fantastic  and I’m grateful to their team for taking the time out of their busy resident schedules to help applicants out in such an in depth fashion.

Just finished my mock interviews for anesthesiology and loved the direct, constructive feedback I got as well as the written report afterwards too.
Great team all around, super quick to respond & get assigned to an advisor.

As a reapplicant transitioning to a different specialty, navigating the landscape of ERAS while balancing intern year was one of the most daunting things I ever experienced.
I worked with Dr Dawson and she helped me reposition my entire application & PS to cater better toward anesthesiology and helped me with the strategy needed to signal and interview.
Though it was the toughest year of my life, having a dedicated person to help with this process was tremendous and I fully believe it’s what helped me match my #1 despite the odds. My only regret was not working with them sooner !

Matchpal is an awesome platform - from chatting with Dan about my test taking issues for Step2 and getting set up rapidly with a tutor,
to actually working with Dr Kleiman on test taking strategies and content review, the whole process was worth every single ounce of investment.
I came at a baseline NBME in the 230s and was aiming for a competitive specialty, and they completely revamped my approach for how to take questions, use review resources/anki, and kept me on track the whole time. Ended up with a 250+ and I owe it to them for helping me get there. Recommend to anyone taking USMLE and wanting to break a plateau!

Working with the MatchPal team for my PMR residency application was a great experience, from the Got staffed with an advisor in my specialty and region of interest who was super knowledgeable about the strategies of the whole process and incredibly responsive and supportive the entire season. Ended up matching my #1 program despite a red flag on my app
Highly recommend !
