How long before my real interview should I book?

Most physical therapy applicants book 1 to 2 weeks before their interview date. That leaves time to apply feedback and run a second session if you need one.

Can I request a specific school focus?

Yes. Tell us your target programs and your coach will run the session in that school's format, including traditional interviews, faculty panels, group interviews, or patient scenarios.

What if I need to reschedule?

You can reschedule up to 24 hours in advance.

Is this confidential?

Absolutely. Your application materials and session recordings are never shared outside your coaching session.

Should I book multiple sessions?

We recommend at least two sessions so you have time to review feedback, rehearse, and show measurable improvement.

What's your refund policy?

We do not offer refunds for live coaching sessions. You can reschedule any session with 24 hours notice.

Question reviewed

A patient is frustrated because progress has plateaued and wants you to promise a full recovery. What do you say?

What worked

Set realistic expectations without taking away hope.
Included reassessment and shared goal-setting.

Rework before interview day

Ask what function matters most to the patient before revising goals.
Name when you would consult or refer to another clinician.

Your interviewer's note

You balanced honesty and encouragement well. Bring the patient's own functional priority into the answer earlier and your plan becomes more collaborative and specific.

Applicants who rehearsed live before interview day

My coach stopped me from overpromising outcomes and helped me explain reassessment with empathy. That exact issue came up in my panel.
