Meet Dibah
Hi, I'm Dr. Dibah.
For 19 years, I have personally coached over a thousand students into UK medical schools. Every consulting client I work with gets in.


I know how individual medical schools score, shortlist, and select. I have collated and analysed decades of competition data. I use that knowledge to give every student I work with their best chance.
Stories
Real stories from real families.
Her knowledge of this process is head and shoulders above the mainstream, which I feel makes her unique and is the reason we trusted her to guide our son through the process. Dibah is someone who goes above and beyond.
Just emailing to say a massive thank you for the tutoring. It paid off and I have been offered a place with Pembroke, Oxford University. I cannot emphasise strongly enough how helpful it was.
I am happy to say that I received offers from Manchester, St. Andrews, and Barts. I am incredibly grateful for all my acceptances. Your guidance played a key role in my success, and I truly appreciate it.
All support was tailored to me as a person, rather than just using a blanket formula. I aced the interviews and got offers from all three Universities.
This definitely made the difference between last year's miss and this year's successes. Your interview practice was totally invaluable and will give my son skills for life.
Questions
You asked. I answered.

How is theMSAG different from other admissions companies?
Four things set me apart. First, it is always me. I am not a company with a team of tutors you get matched with. I am one person, Dr. Dibah Jiva, and I deliver every session, write every piece of feedback, and build every plan myself. Second, everything is personalised. I do not follow a one-size-fits-all formula. I tailor my approach to your specific profile, your strengths, your gaps, and the schools that are right for you. Third, I am accessible. I set up a WhatsApp group for my consulting clients and I am reachable in the evenings and on weekends, not just during scheduled sessions. Fourth, my expertise after 19 years of doing this personally cannot be matched by a medical student or junior tutor who is still learning the process themselves. When you work with theMSAG, you work with me.
What if I am not sure which service I need?
Start with a single consulting session. In that session I will assess your full profile, including your academics, test scores, work experience, and extracurriculars, and tell you exactly what you need and in what order. Some students need the UCAT course. Some need personal statement help. Some need a full plan. I will be honest about what is worth your time and money, and what is not.
Is this only for UK students?
No. I work with students from over 15 countries. If you are applying to UK medical schools, I can help regardless of where you are based. International applicants often face unique challenges. The competition ratios for international places are significantly higher than for UK applicants. I have specific experience navigating all of that.
What is the success rate?
For consulting clients who complete the full preparation with me, the success rate is 100%. That represents just over 1,000 families. I am transparent about how I calculate that because I think it matters.
Can I afford this?
A single consulting session is £250. The UCAT course is £190. Personal statement review starts from £85. I have designed my services so that you can start with what you need most and build from there, rather than committing to a large package upfront. I also offer widening access support for students who face financial barriers.
My child is interested in medicine but we do not know where to start.
That is exactly what the first consulting session is for. You do not need to have a plan before you come to me. Building the plan is what we do together. Parents are welcome in every session. I will assess where your child stands, what needs to happen, and give you a clear timeline. Many families come to me at this exact stage.
Your journey
Your journey to medical school starts here.
Every student's situation is different. A single session is all it takes to get a clear picture of where you stand and what to do next.
I have spent 19 years helping students get into UK medical schools. Every student I work with gets my personal attention.
