What our clients say
A friend suggested Blue Dolphin to me after I was unsuccessful in an interview last year. My friend had several coaching sessions with Gordon and claimed they were instrumental in him being accepted into three medical schools. After my initial session with Gordon via Skype and talking with him, it became apparent to me that he had a storehouse of helpful information that I could use to my benefit on my second interview attempt. After our first couple of sessions together, I could see why I was not successful with my interview the precious year. Through our sessions together I was able to really address my key weaknesses and make the all the necessary improvements I felt I needed for a successful interview this year. With Gordon, I was able to appear more confident and become much more efficient at formulating my answers to the MMI questions. This year, I was truly happy to receive an acceptance letter —something I had been dreaming of for years. Clearly Gordon’s coaching and pushing me to give the best interview possible was a huge part of that acceptance and I encourage anyone applying to the Physician Assistant program, or any other discipline for that matter, to reach out to Gordon for your interview coaching. You won’t be disappointed.
