I would highly recommend the profile development services offered through Inspira. I'm a fairly organized person but I know that having some external accountability and guidance is valuable which is why this service appealed to me. The great thing about Inspira is that they have a comprehensive framework that they guide prospective applicants through so that you know there isn't anything you are forgetting in terms of making sure you're presenting a well rounded self to admissions committees. This is a worthy investment and a great way to make sure you get yourself ready to apply to med school. Your advisor will check in with you regularly and you'll get an updated document from them showing what you've done and what you're working on by the next time you connect. If nothing else, you will be much more confident in yourself going into your applications.

I had the chance to work with Diego as a counselor at Inspira, and I can say that his help was critical to me ultimately getting into medical school. I found that his guidance through preparation of my materials and the subsequent formation of an application strategy gave crucial structure and nuance to developing my candidacy for med school. There were times where we disagreed on content to be included, and where I initially became frustrated by our differences in viewpoint and/or opinion. However, Diego did an excellent job of listening to my frustrations when we disagreed, and then presenting his case. More often than not, I agreed with his fully articulated viewpoint. When all was over, we managed to complete 25 applications, and I managed to get the result I wanted: a spot at an a great MD program. Thanks Deigo, and thanks Inspira!

I worked with Rahul through the hourly package and he was fantastic. Extremely responsive and supportive, he went above and beyond to provide helpful feedback on both essays and interview preparation. He is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him. Even though we worked together on the hourly package, he really came to know my background and narrative extremely well. His turnaround time was always incredibly efficient, usually within 24 hours. He is genuinely committed to seeing you do well, and he understands the application process deeply, as well as what different programs are looking for. The Inspira team in general is responsive and invested in your success.

I worked with Sheena on my med school applications. Sheena exemplified the most essential quality needed in a consultant – being invested in client's success. She worked beyond the time limits to give my med school application the best chance I could possibly get. I worked with Sheena on my Primaries -- school selection, personal statement, activities list, and so on. Compared to many other consultants that I have met, she showed intimate knowledge of most schools and advised me on possibilities of cracking a given school keeping in mind your goals (clinical, research, a mix). In my personal statement, she helped shape a compelling story in a manner, which only an experienced consultant could have done. Overall I highly recommend Sheena and it was a pleasure working with her.

Maddy sets up a great tutoring environment where I felt comfortable to stop and ask questions and it made the whole process much less painful. She is so patient and encouraging, which is what I needed at this stage of the process and worked based on my positive results on my final MCAT (large improvement from my initial attempt). He also allowed the other students to get to know each other on a more personal level so we were able to keep in touch and continue to study together once the formal tutoring meetings concluded. I highly encourage choosing her as a tutor!

The support I got was very professional. Everyone at Inspira works day and night to ensure you get into your top choice medical schools. Everybody, I mean everybody, on the team truly cared about my outcomes. Even the enrollment manager who I had the first conversation with stayed in touch and sent me words of encouragement before the applications were due. Inspira is an awesome organization to associate with!

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer. She is a gem of a person and helped me with my AMCAS applications. Her advice helped a lot in improving the essays. On one hand, she went into great detail over small changes in the essay, and on the other side, she took a bird's eye view to create a unique application for me. I highly recommend her.

I want to strongly recommend Joseph at Inspira Advantage. Though I hired him only on an hourly basis, I found his advice to be very impactful and have very high bang-for-the-buck. He did a great job pushing me to articulate my rationale for why I wanted to become a doctor and to get more specific about what attracts me to a specific school, while providing thoughtful suggestions. These were the weak points of my application and he zeroed in on them and worked with me to close the gaps. Though I was just an hourly client, Joseph took the time to understood my background and goals and worked closely with me on all of my documents. He went above and beyond: he got on the phone and spent extra time with me when he didn't have to to make sure my documents were of high quality, and performed miraculous edits on a super-tight 24-hour deadline in the thick of applications. He was also direct and honest. My first drafts were terrible and Joseph wasn't afraid to call that out and push me to improve them. I got into multiple MD and DO programs. As a separate point, I am a reapplicant. I used another admissions consultant from a major well-reviewed firm last time around and I can unequivocally say that my experience with Ahmed was far superior vis-a-vis both quality of service and admissions outcomes, even though I spent significantly less time working with him.

I absolutely loved taking my 60-hour MCAT program with Mo. Not only was he a fantastic explainer but he also made the tutoring sessions very interactive and enjoyable. I genuinely looked forward to them in the midst of a busy school week. Mo was able to break down complex concepts into simple steps that were easy to follow. This was particularly beneficial for me in organic chemsitry as I've always struggled with that section. There's no other way to put it except that his strategies just made sense - and if they didn't, he made sure to explain again until I got them. He even taught me multiple methods to answer the same question so I could choose those which one I was most comfortable with. Mo also was a great motivator and instilled confidence in me. I remember I wasn't happy with the results of a couple of my practice tests and he was extremely supportive and empathetic. He even live analyzed one of these tests during a tutoring sessions, which was very helpful for both me. He had such strong faith that I would do incredibly well and that confidence rubbed off on me. Overall, I improved 21 points from a 501 to a 522 and I have just accepted an offer to Yale SOM! I am still in touch with Mo until today and I will always remember what an incredible experience getting tutoring from him was. I highly recommend anyone who wants to improve their MCAT score and have fun while doing so to choose him as a tutor - you'll thank me later!

I began my MCAT preparation journey in early 2022 after extensive research on tutoring programs and instructors, ultimately choosing to work with Joe and Inspira Advantage. As a Seattle native and fellow Mariners fan, I was drawn to Joe's profile and knew he would be the perfect fit for me. From the first session, it was evident that I had made the right decision. Joe's ability to engage and motivate students, even during long sessions, was impressive. Despite it being years since I'd last had a tutor, Joe's approachable teaching style and clear explanations made each topic manageable and interesting. Starting with a practice test score of 501, I initially felt discouraged. However, Joe's encouragement and targeted guidance assured me that my goal score of 520 was achievable with dedication. Instead of overwhelming me with countless practice problems, Joe taught me to focus on specific problem sets and evaluate my strategy efficiently. This approach not only improved problem-solving skills but also boosted confidence in tackling the exam. Thanks to Joe's coaching and the structured study approach, I never felt overwhelmed or pressured to cram for the exam. Consistent daily study sessions outside of class proved more effective than long weekend sessions. Additionally, the personalized 1-on-1 coaching sessions were invaluable in addressing specific areas for improvement, as opposed to large group classes where there isn't a lot of personalization. In the end, I achieved a score of 520 on the MCAT, a significant improvement from my initial diagnostic test. Joe's guidance not only helped me reach my target score but also opened doors to med schools I previously considered out of reach. I'm immensely grateful for Joe's expertise and support throughout my MCAT journey.

Sidney was an absolute superstar through this entire process, and beyond. She did an amazing job of guiding me through voicing my own story that not only helped me create an amazing application for med school, but also aided me as I reflected on life and what I wanted from my future, all without being overly hands-on. I cannot thank her enough for everything. After I was accepted, she then continued to make herself available as I spoke through a few important decisions. It felt as though she were a mentor and even a friend by the end of the process.
