Is Future Doc worth it?

Hi everyone, I’m an international GEM applicant (but I’ve done my BSc and my MSc in the UK + I have worked/am working in the NHS so I’m not too foreign to the UK education system or healthcare system).

I had an interview with Future Doc today, they offer 2 programmes (fundamentals or gold) and they basically coach you through the whole application process up until your offers.

Given I am at a double disadvantage (international + GEM), I was wondering is it worth it to pay for the coaching services?

I’ve already paid for Medify for 12 months, I’m self studying for the UCAT and I feel I have a good understanding of the NHS values + medical ethics (just from working in the NHS and having been on a healthcare course) to study for the interviews when and if I am offered any.

At the same time, I really do want to give myself the best chances at getting accepted because I am already 25 and will be 26-27 by the time I get to start a GEM course and I don’t want to lose 1 more year.

Has anyone worked with them, what are your thoughts?

I hope you hear from some people who went with them. I am also a GEM applicant and almost paid for future doc but decided to self study.

There are a few things that made me skeptical of them and ultimately made me choose to prepare for UCAT/interviews by myself. 1. I always think it’s a huge red flag when tutoring companies are not transparent about their prices 2. I couldn’t find independent reviews anywhere online (for example on trust pilot) I could only find the testimonials they posted on their own platforms. 3. I didn’t like the hard sell I got in the interview. 4. Their prices seem unreasonable for the service that they are providing. 5. I paid for their UCAT online course and it was littered with mistakes.

This is just my perspective, I hope you hear from others. Good luck with your application!

if u dont have large amount of funds its definitely not for u

i think i replied to u on reddit and im currently in the programme but i only plan on joining for 3 months since its only for interview and id say joining for a whole year may not be worth it
