Decision Guide

Which Tier Fits Your Situation?

Find the scenario that sounds most like yours.

“I have a solid application. I just need interview training.”

You are a U.S. or Caribbean grad with competitive scores and good clinical experience. Your application is strong. You want expert-level interview preparation so you show up confident and prepared.

Recommended: Interview Prep Foundation

“I’m an IMG and I need real preparation, not generic tips.”

You are applying this cycle and want advanced communication skills, program-specific preparation before each interview, and someone debriefing you after. You want the depth most programs do not offer.

Recommended: Interview Prep Complete

“I have red flags and I need someone in my corner.”

You have low scores, an old graduation year, failed attempts, or you went unmatched. You need Dr. Brian to help you build your narrative, develop your personal statement, and guide every aspect of your match strategy.

Recommended: 360 Match Mentorship

“I’m reapplying after going unmatched.”

Something did not work last time. You need someone who can diagnose what went wrong, rebuild your strategy, and make sure this cycle is different. You cannot afford to guess again.

Recommended: 360 Match Mentorship

“I want the best possible preparation for a competitive specialty.”

Even with a strong profile, you are targeting a competitive field and want maximum preparation. You want Dr. Brian to help you position your narrative strategically for the programs you care most about.

Recommended: 360 Match Mentorship

“I just want structured interview practice.”

Your application is in good shape. You are confident in your narrative and materials. You want focused, expert-led interview practice to make sure you perform well on interview day.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade from one tier to another?

Yes. Students can upgrade to a higher tier during the season. Many students start with Foundation or Complete and upgrade to 360 once they realize they want deeper support. The cost difference is applied as a credit.

How do I know if I need 360 or if Complete is enough?

If your application has red flags — low scores, old graduation year, failed attempts, or you went unmatched — 360 is designed for you. If your profile is competitive and you primarily need expert interview preparation with program-specific support, Complete may be the right fit. The free strategy session is designed to help you make this decision.

Are there payment plans available?

Yes. All three tiers include flexible payment options. We also offer MatchFirst, a deferred payment program where you pay a deposit to start training and pay the remaining balance only after you match. We discuss specific payment details during the free strategy session.

What is MatchFirst?

MatchFirst is Mission Residency’s deferred payment option. You pay a deposit upfront, receive full access to your selected program, train alongside all other students, and pay the remaining balance only after you successfully match. If you meet the participation requirements and do not match, the remaining balance is waived. This is the only program in the IMG space that works this way.

When should I enroll?

The earlier you enroll, the more time you have to prepare. Our pricing follows an airline model — the earlier you commit, the better the rate. The 360 Match Mentorship tier is the most enrollment-limited and frequently fills up. If you are considering it, we recommend booking a strategy session soon.

What makes 360 Mentorship materially different from the other tiers?

360 is a fundamentally different level of support. Dr. Brian works with you personally on your personal statement, your application narrative, and your match strategy. You receive weekly live mentorship, private advising, unlimited mock interviews, and direct personal access to Dr. Brian throughout the season. It is not just better interview prep — it is total match mentorship from application through Match Day.
