Mock Medical School Interviews

A NextGen MedPrep mock interview is a full hour, one-to-one and live over video with a current medical or dental student, matched to a tutor who covers your school. It runs in your school’s own format — an MMI circuit, a traditional one-on-one or a panel — for MD, DO and dental programs, and ends with written feedback against that school’s criteria. A single mock is $58; four mocks, each for a different school, are $204 — $51 each. Once you book, we match you with a tutor usually within 24 hours.

Go Ultimate

Preparing for one school in depth rather than practicing the format? A Background Knowledge Session ($77) is a one-to-one briefing on a single school — its format, its themes and what it rewards — and the full package list, including bundles that combine mocks and briefings and a build-your-own option, is on the US interviews hub.

Prices are shown and charged in US dollars. The dollar figure is a conversion at an indicative exchange rate and is fixed at the moment you pay (terms, section 3.2).

Who runs your mock interview

A person, not a script: one of our tutors runs the whole hour live, matched to the school that invited you.

  • A current medical or dental student

    Every mock is run live, for the full hour, by a current medical or dental student from our approved tutor roster.

  • Matched to your school

    We match each session with a tutor who covers the school you name, usually within 24 hours of booking, and the questions are prepared for that school.

  • Yours to swap

    The sessions belong to you, not to a particular tutor. If you do not get on with yours, tell us and we will move your remaining mocks to someone else.

  • Real, named people

    Every tutor we publish is a real, named person with their university and year of study shown on our team page.

How a mock interview works, step by step

  1. 1

    Tell us your invite

    Choose your package, then name the school that invited you — MD, DO or dental — and add your interview date if you have it. A bundle lets you name a different school for each mock. You can also attach your personal statement, which helps us personalize the session, and leave notes on anything you want covered.

  2. 2

    Check out

    Pay securely through Stripe, in US dollars. Your booking confirmation email arrives once the payment clears; if it has not landed within 24 hours, check your spam folder and then contact us.

  3. 3

    Get matched

    We match you with a tutor who covers your school, usually within 24 hours. You then see your tutor and session time on your dashboard, and add your available hours there so the session can be scheduled quickly.

  4. 4

    Sit the full mock

    One hour, live and one-to-one over video, under real conditions: timed stations if your school runs an MMI, a probing conversation if it runs a traditional or panel interview, and no easy rides. Questions are prepared for the school you named.

  5. 5

    Get your written feedback

    Structured written feedback against the school’s known criteria, with what to fix before the real thing. Your mock credits also unlock self-practice you can run on your own between sessions.

What the mock looks like in your format

The hour is run the way your school runs its interview, because the thing that catches people out is rarely the content — it is the shape of the room. Most US MD and DO programs in our profiles interview conversationally and fewer run an MMI, and some record both.

Traditional one-on-one

188 of 227 US MD and DO programs in our profiles record a traditional or panel interview

A conversation with one interviewer — a faculty member, physician, admissions committee member or student — that the AAMC describes as typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Open-file interviewers have read your application; closed-file interviewers know little beyond your name. Your tutor runs it the way your school does, and follows up wherever your answer was thinnest.

Free traditional interview guide →

Panel interviews

12 programs in our profiles record a panel specifically

Two or more interviewers at once, each taking a line of questioning, so you have to hold a thread while the next question comes from someone else. Many schools hold two shorter interviews in a day instead. Your tutor probes the way a panel does: follow-up questions on the weakest part of each answer.

Traditional and panel guide →

MMI circuit

49 of 227 US MD and DO programs in our profiles, alone or alongside a traditional interview

A circuit of short, timed stations with a new rater at each — typically a couple of minutes to read the prompt and several to answer, with no going back. The mock runs a circuit rather than a conversation: the reading time, the bell and a station you have not seen. The skill being tested is starting well under time pressure, over and over.

Free MMI guide →

Virtual interviews

The AAMC recommends that medical schools interview virtually

Each school decides for itself, and your invitation will say which to expect. Live virtual interviews run on video platforms such as Zoom; some MMIs use Kira Talent, which can be live or one-way, with answers recorded against pre-recorded prompts. Your mock is live over video too, so you rehearse the camera, the sound and your eye contact as well as the answers.

DO programs

61 of 64 DO programs in our profiles record a traditional or panel interview

The format is usually much like an MD interview, with one question you should expect: why osteopathic medicine? Know the whole-person philosophy behind it, and the mock will test whether your answer is specific to you rather than a definition.

MD vs DO guide →

Dental schools

75 of 78 US dental schools in our profiles record a traditional or panel interview, and 9 an MMI

Dental interviews ask a different set of questions from medicine — why dentistry, what you have done to see the work up close, access to dental care — and reward different answers. Choose dentistry at checkout and the mock is prepared for the dental school you name.

What your written feedback covers

The mock is the cheap part. The feedback is what you are actually buying, and it is written down so you can work from it after the adrenaline has worn off.

  • Against the school’s criteria

    Not a general impression — your answers set against what that school is known to assess, station by station or question by question.

  • What was missing, specifically

    Most weak answers are not wrong, they are incomplete. The feedback names the thing you did not say and where it should have gone.

  • Structure and timing

    Whether you answered the question asked, in an order an interviewer can follow, in the time available — and whether your stories have the situation, task, action and result the AAMC’s STAR structure asks for.

  • Ethics and the health system

    Whether you weighed the principles at stake and reached a view you can defend, on an ethics scenario or on a question about coverage, access and the cost of care.

  • Communication under pressure

    Pace, filler, eye contact on camera and what happened to all of it when the follow-up question was harder than you expected.

  • What to fix before the real thing

    A short, ordered list. If there are nine things wrong you cannot fix nine things in a week, so the feedback says which three matter most.

When should you book a mock interview?

US schools review applications on a rolling basis: invitations follow a complete secondary, and interview season runs from late summer into the spring, busiest through fall and winter. Two things follow from that.

Leave time to act on the feedback

A mock the day before your interview tells you what is wrong at the point you can no longer fix it. Aim for at least a week between the mock and the real thing, and a few days between mocks if you are doing more than one.

Invitations can come at short notice

Some schools give two or three weeks’ notice of an interview; others as little as a week. We match you with a tutor usually within 24 hours, and the earlier your interview date reaches us, the more choice of tutor and time slot you get — add it when you book so we can prioritize you.

Not invited yet? Read your school’s interview guide and work through the free resources first — a mock is worth most once you have something to test.

Prepare free first — then book the mock

A mock is worth most once you already know your school’s format and have something to test, and all of this is free. Of the 227 US MD and DO programs in our profiles, 188 record a traditional or panel interview and 49 an MMI; the counts overlap because some schools run both. Start with yours.

Mock interview FAQs

The questions people ask before they book. Our terms, cancellation and refund policy is published in full.

Every package is listed above in your local currency, with no booking fees on top. Bundles cost less per session than booking the same sessions one at a time, and each bundle card shows the saving. The price is the whole price: the tutor’s hour, the school-specific question preparation and the written feedback are all included, and every package comes with mock credits for self-practice.
