"Why I Started MedReady" - A Message from Sohom
“Why did I miss out?”
That’s the question I hear time and time again from students who crushed their UCAT. Who got 99+ ATARs. Who did everything right… until the interview.
Hi, I’m Sohom Chowdhury, and I am a current medical student at Monash University. I was the 2024 Dux of John Monash Science School with an ATAR of 99.75 and got a 3200 (96th Percentile) in the UCAT.
I created MedReady because I’ve seen how top students miss out on offers — not because of their grades, but because they weren't prepared for the one thing that matters most:
The interview.
All because they nailed the interview.
Why Interview Prep is Everything
🎯 The Interview Decides Who Gets In
Universities don’t just want smart students.
They want students who can think on their feet, communicate under pressure, and show they belong in medicine.
That’s what the interview is for — and if you're not ready, you won’t stand out.
Why?
Because interview performance is the ultimate decider.
It’s not just about scores anymore. The interview tests what really matters:
🗣️ Communication.
❤️ Empathy.
🧠 Critical thinking.
⚖️ Ethics.
🧍Cultural awareness.
🧩 Decision-making under pressure.
And most students? They’re not ready for it.
MedReady is your edge.
Interview Preparation Can Make or Break Your Offer
The interview isn’t a formality — it’s the biggest point of difference between getting in or missing out.
Think about this:
99+ ATARs and top UCAT scores still don’t guarantee a med offer
Meanwhile, students with slightly lower marks do get in — because they’re confident, prepared, and compelling in the interview
The interview is where it all gets decided.
That’s why you need targeted preparation, real practice, and guidance from those who’ve succeeded.
And that is exactly where MedReady comes in.

Still Think You Won’t Get an Interview Offer?
If your UCAT score isn’t what you hoped, it’s easy to feel like the journey is already over.
But here's the truth:
Every year, students with lower UCAT scores get surprise interview offers — from universities that consider ATARs, SEAS adjustments, portfolios, and broader entry schemes.
❝ You can never be 100% sure you won’t get an interview. ❞
But you can be 100% sure that if you do… and you’re not prepared, your chances drop fast.
Either of Two Things Can Happen:
✅ You prepare now — and you get an offer.
You walk into the interview confident, polished, and ready. You make it count. You convert it.
❌ You don’t prepare — and you still get an offer.
But now you’re stressed. You’re scrambling. You walk in unsure, and miss an opportunity you didn’t expect to get.
Our Advice?
Prepare as if you’re going to get one.
Because if you do… it’ll be too late to start from scratch.
The interview is the biggest decider in the entire process — especially when your UCAT isn't doing you favours. This is your moment to stand out where others fall short.
🎯 MedReady is Built for This.
Even if you’re unsure about your chances — join MedReady and be ready to succeed if and when your opportunity comes. Don't leave your interview up to chance.
