Practice with an AI mock interviewer
Reading about interviews only gets you so far. Prometheus generates school-specific questions for US MD and DO programs — MMI stations, ethical scenarios and motivation questions tailored to each school’s format — and gives you feedback on the spot.
- Mock stations tailored to each school’s interview format
- Ethics, role-play and “why this school” practice on demand
- Instant, structured feedback to sharpen your answers
Ethics scenario
“A classmate asks you to share answers from an exam you have already taken. Walk me through how you respond, and the principles guiding you.”
Live feedback
Strong structure — you named the conflict and the principle. Add what you’d do next to support the classmate constructively.
Illustrative — your real session adapts to the school you choose.

Both lead to full physician licensure, but the philosophy, application service (AMCAS vs AACOMAS), licensing exam (USMLE vs COMLEX-USA) and competitiveness differ. See how to choose — and how to apply to both.
