I appreciated Dr. Miljanic’s advice on how to stand out as an applicant by placing an emphasis on getting my research published and including more teaching based activities in my schedule. Furthermore, he encouraged me to further pursue scribing as well. He was very helpful and I feel much better about my application after our conversation!

ExceptionalGrad polished my C.V. and made sure the most important aspects of every experience were highlighted. It truly made me stand out in my application and I can't recommend them enough!

I was a 2022 dermatology residency applicant. My review applies specifically to Mihailo, although I am sure your experience with any of ExceptionalGrad's team would be the same. I credit a large reason for my success in matching to a top dermatology program to my strength in interviewing, which in turn is due to ExceptionalGrad.

I was referred to Mihailo and his team by a friend. Although initially hesitant, I'm so glad I went through with his coaching. First off, their services are cheaper than others out there. Secondly, before my practice interview sessions with Mihailo, I thought I had decent answers. I quickly realized that while they were acceptable, there was still much more room to improve. Mihailo helped me tremendously in this respect: he has a system that addresses the most common interview questions, followed by more specific ones, while leaving plenty of time and flexibility for your own questions. He helped me immensely in elaborating upon and fine-tuning my answers while doing so in a relaxed, respectful, and non-judgmental environment. He is also extremely responsive via email.

Before my coaching sessions with him, I had had a few interviews, in which I didn't really receive positive or negative feedback. After my coaching sessions with him, I had at least 2 interviews where the interviewers specifically commented that my answers were "the best they had heard on the interview trail." My only regret is that I wish I had my practice sessions before the beginning of the interview season!

I would recommend preparing for your practice sessions beforehand, meaning going in with your answers prepared and having a good idea of what types of questions you want to get through with your coach.

Dr. Miljanic was extremely helpful is explaining to me where I am in my pre-med journey, what areas of my application I need to work on, and the steps I should take to make myself a competitive applicant. He provided great advice and feedback and was extremely understanding of my situation and circumstances.

I highly recommend this service if you’re looking for insight on your application.

Highly recommended. I have been offered an interview with my first choice and my personal statement has been referenced on interviews as a strong component of the application.

My experience with Exceptional Grad and Dr. Miljanic in applying to residency became integral to enhancing my application and candidacy. He has been a pleasure to work with and demonstrates such professionalism. His insight into how to take your story and communicate it in a way that connects with program admissions with sincerity, clarity, and confidence, really prepares you well for navigating this process. I would recommend these services to any applicant.

Having tried one of the big name ERAS services prior to Exceptional Grad, I can say from experience Exceptional Grad is truly an exceptional and unparalleled service that exceeds the big name companies in overall value and customer service. My advice to prospective residency applicants is to take advantage of this high value opportunity ASAP.

Dr. Miljanic understood my expectations and helped me bring my ideas to life! He was also always readily available to answer any application-related questions. It's worth the cost!
