The journey

A second attempt, a different room.

Brandon Clark's first round of medical school interviews ended on waitlists, at every school. He had an excellent GPA and a strong MCAT score, and had spent little time preparing for the interviews themselves.

Within an hour of his first session with Dr. Benidir he understood why. The second attempt was different: the strategies he learned for both panel setting and MMI questions changed how he walked into the room, and he was accepted at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University.

During his medical training he contributed to published clinical research on medication and antibiotic allergies in patients with acute and chronic spontaneous urticaria. He is now a physician.

“Having Omar in my corner made all the difference. His unwavering faith in me, genuine kindness, and encouragement gave me a level of confidence I never knew I could have. By the time I faced my MMI, I felt truly unshakeable.”Dr. Brandon ClarkMedicine · Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry

Preparation was the difference.

Brandon's is the story of a second attempt. What changed between the two rounds was not the academic record. It was preparation for the interview itself: communication, critical thinking, judgment and professionalism, worked on until they held under pressure.

His advice to candidates who read his story is the one he gives in his own words: with the right preparation, you will succeed.
