"There were so many aspects of the mock interview that were extremely helpful. First, practicing with someone who asks relevant questions to the type of questions I would be asked... especially because I do not have anyone else who is familiar with the process to practice with...It was extremely helpful to go back over every single question and review my answer and think of how it could have been improved. Your valuable insight on every question and how to tackle difficult questions is very important and leads to such in-depth responses. This really allowed me to to think of ways to elevate my answer and show the extent of my knowledge on these topics..."

"...Examples of how to tackle the questions I got stuck on helped me come up with my own, more specific examples. Sometimes I get stuck but hearing others thoughts gets my creativity going so I feel like you did that perfectly!"

"I loved that you were so patient when I was answering the questions... I also like that you were honest. I like that you summarized my answers and sent the document and that you timed how long each response took."

A Collab
We understand the challenges that come with being the trailblazer in your family, stepping into the realm of higher education, especially in a complex field like medicine. We're well aware that the absence of proper guidance can be a major hurdle, and financial constraints and limited resources often add to the roadblocks that stand in the way of achieving your dreams.
At Align, our journey began as a heartfelt endeavor to assist aspiring medical students in honing their skills to express themselves effectively, particularly during the crucial interview phase of the medical school application. The response we've received over the past year and the overwhelming support has propelled us forward, encouraging us to take a big step. Fueled by your encouragement, we've expanded our program to encompass comprehensive mentoring and guidance throughout every step of the medical school application process.
We're excited to accompany you on this journey and provide the support you need to reach your goals. Remember, you're not alone in this – we're here to stand by you all the way.
