I'm so glad that I worked with Nakia and with Inspira more broadly. I originally opted to work with a freelance admissions consultant, and got so frustrated/overwhelmed that I almost bailed on applying to med schools entirely. I decided to give one more try with Nakia and I'm so glad I did. Nakia (and the rest of the people I worked with at Inspira) was so helpful throughout the process - she genuinely listened and cared about my story and was incredibly helpful in thinking through the best way to structure and convey that story. She was the best cheerleader, even on schools I didn't work with her on and seemed to really care about my getting into the right school for me. Thank you so much for all of the help and support throughout this process!!

Overall satisfied with my experience with Inspira. I took the Final Application Review package from them. The reviews were to the point and helped me understand what specifically needed to be changed in my application.

Kristen's guidance as my MCAT tutor was invaluable. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also genuinely cares about her students' success throughout their med school journey. Kristen's ability to adapt explanations to suit different learning styles and levels of understanding made every session productive and engaging. Her enthusiasm for teaching and personal investment in my progress motivated me to stay focused and committed. The format, teaching style, and resources provided for my MCAT preparation were exceptional. Additionally, the support staff I interacted with on the Student Success team were always helpful and supportive. My experience with Jamie and MCAT tutoring at Inspira Advantage surpassed my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their program to anyone preparing for the MCAT. Compared to friends who opted for other prep courses, I found my learning experience to be superior, thanks to Kristen's expertise and the comprehensive resources provided by Inspira.

I wanted to be extra thorough in my search for an med consultant, so I spoke with five admissions counseling firms before speaking with Inspira Advantage. After spending days doing my due diligence on them, I knew that I was making the right decision. Hiring Henry to guide me through the med school admissions processes was one of my best investments. His warmth and positive attitude made me feel welcome, confident, and less intimidated by the med school application process. He emphasized that the process, while daunting, should ultimately be a fun and rewarding journey that in turn enables personal growth. While the process is an intense commitment (both time-wise and emotionally), I felt like Henry was by my side the entire time. He is a gifted storyteller who was instrumental in helping me craft my story in an honest and concise fashion; he had a way of offering advice without it feeling like I had to implement his suggestion. In fact, he knew that the personal statement I drafted should be thrown out, as it felt inauthentic (which I also knew, in my heart of hearts). Thanks to his keen insights, thoughtful guidance, and sharp focus, I was able to complete 25 applications in good time. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Henry, and I truly believe that I wouldn't have been able to be my true, authentic self throughout this process if it wasn't for him. I consider my time spent with Henry as a period of personal growth that ultimately will be aid in my success at med school. Thank you, Henry!

I first came across Andrew and Inspira Advantage while doing a thorough diligence and speaking to several consultants. Andrew's application philosophy, and the organized and comprehensive Inspira application process, appealed to me a lot. Most of the consultants out there looked good on paper, and sounded encouraging. However, among all of them, Andrew really stood out by his unique background in both med school admissions and creative writing training. Excellent track record and reviews written by his former clients ultimately convinced me to embark on my "med school application journey" with him. I signed on for a 25 school program. This was the single best decision I made in the med school application process!

It quickly turned out Andrew is not (just) a "med school admissions consultant," or advisor. Andrew became way more than this, a confidante, a strategist, and really a friend. He was there to help on anything, and no matter what, incl. MCAT strategy and answering my last-minute frenetic emails at light's speed. Already at that stage the video calls we had and emails we exchanged counted probably in hundreds, and their content could fill a new thick novel or memoir on med school applications. Andrew keeps you on track with timing and process, sends emails reminding of upcoming deadlines, and I can't even count how many times he "rescued" me by squeezing rush (and voluminous) work in his schedule to save. Whenever I needed something extra, he was there to help by making personal sacrifices and squeezing work into my mad schedule and deadlines. In fact, he over delivers both on timing and on quality. Working with him, you're fully confident you're with the best pilot and on a seat in the "private jet." And I really, really admire his superhuman patience, kindness, and authentic friendliness!

I worked with Kunal on 30 med school applications and got into six! Kunal is an experienced and trustworthy consultant. He is very responsive (I usually got feedback to my essay drafts within 1 day), very good at story-telling (he always helps me see my own stories from a different yet much better perspective) and has a good sense of humor (very important too if you need to spend hours talking to your consultant every week!) Kunal insisted on spending a lot of time going through my stories, experiences and strengths before I started to look at essay questions. This process turned out to be one of the most important steps in my med school application because it helped me select my brightest achievements and also helped me to examine my past experiences.

You think you can do it without a consultant. You think, ah that's expensive, I'll just do it myself. Well... bad idea. The extra money you spend on Rohan's help, which will ultimately help you get into your dream school, is a drop in the bucket considering all the costs associated with med-school. Rohan is a mix between an editing guru and a psychologist. He helps you narrow down what you want to do in life and mold all of your experiences into a compelling story. His customized schedule is perfect for someone, like me, who is working full time and trying to get all different aspects of the application not just done on time, but executed professionally. I cannot recommend Rohan enough and hope everyone will use his expertise to show their best self to the admissions committee. BTW - I got into my top two MD programs.

Andrew was a great help in figuring out what should be included in the AMCAS application and what should be left on the cutting room floor. The application gives so little space that it is not easy to make yourself stand out in so few words, and Andrew always reminded me to think of how every word built towards the final product. He was also good about keeping me on track and turning comments on weekends as we got down to crunch time. Andrew was also incredibly calm through the application process, which is great if you are inclined to stress out. Overall, would highly recommend using Andrew and Inspira Advantage if you are considering an applications consultant.

Over the past year, Kunal has been more than just a med school consultant. He has been a friend, mentor, and life coach and I absolutely could not have navigated the daunting application process without his help. Kunal has a unique approach that pushes applicants to discover their strengths and areas of improvement and he was absolutely instrumental every step of the way. From building my brand, to developing my long-term post med school goals, to ultimately crafting my application story, Kunal never stopped pushing me to reach beyond my limits. For busy applicants, hiring Kunal and Inspira Advantage is a no-brainer. I could always count on him to turn around drafts quickly and thoroughly and he was extremely accommodating around my crazy work schedule. I highly recommend Kunal. He is the reason I was successfully navigated the TMDSAS process. Do yourself a favor and make the investment today.

Working with Saahil for my MCAT preparation was an incredible experience. Not only does he possess exceptional expertise in MCAT concepts, but he also has a remarkable ability to break down complex topics into easily understandable explanations, catering to students of all skill levels. Saahil's approachability and willingness to provide support, both during our sessions and beyond, made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire MCAT journey. While success on the MCAT ultimately depends on individual effort, having Saahil as a dedicated guide made the process significantly more manageable and rewarding.

Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable on all things MCAT. Inspira doesn't have a set curriculum, they tailor the curriculum for each student and they also encourage students to determine and correct their weaknesses. Ahmed helped me to delve further into topics that went beyond the level of the course material. As a result, I had the confidence I needed entering test day and got a great score (523). Ahmed's responsiveness and clear and concise answers to my questions helped me to make my study time more efficient. Further, he helped me to simplify methods and develop test taking strategies that proved integral on test day.

Strengths: Personalized, personable, extremely helpful, TRULY GOT RESULTS, and was worth more than every penny. Would make the product better: I can't think of anything he could've done differently to help me more. Above and beyond amazing. I got private tutoring with Joe, and he made things so easy for me. First, I was impressed he didn't make me do a ton of random practice problems on some form just so he could tell me what areas I needed improvement in. He was able to diagnose from my practice test scores & official MCAT score I had taken. He created a very individualized plan to help me improve, and I really looked forward to every meeting we had. He was so helpful & personable it truly was just incredible. After each session, he assigned homework (with links! again just so helpful at every turn, making my life easy) that was very specific to me and helpful to my exact areas of weakness.

The MCAT is daunting, and I didn't know where to start studying. Thankfully I stumbled upon this Inspira Advantage tutoring program and decided I might as well invest in something this important. Luckily, Bretton was extremely well prepared, easygoing, and fed us exactly what we needed to know in order to ace every section. We worked through problems in class and strategies for dealing with pesky cars or orgo questions that I struggled with. He showed me how to analyze our practice tests to hone in on what we should revise and time strategies. I ended up with a 517 that got me into three med schools, and I owe it to Bretton!

Used a 20 school end-to-end support package service with Inspira Advantage and got into six MD programs!!! My counselor, Ellen, knew the ins and outs of every school and their applications, made the process as stress-free and fun as possible (grueling as it was), and the worry I'd previously had that I was missing something, somewhere, went away because I was confident Ellen knew everything. She was also fun, kind, generous, energetic, and I felt like she was really rooting for me throughout. Finally, she especially helped me submit my secondaries on a time-crunch, which turned out really well. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

I took the 40 hour Inspira MCAT tutoring package with Ezra, and in addition to his top notch teaching, the tutoring environment he fostered also made the time more enjoyable. I had never taken the MCAT before and no familiarity with test, and scored in the high 490s on my first practice test. After the first tutoring session, which was a great foundational intro, I began in depth tutoring with Ezra. His insight and ability to explain concepts and strategies were excellent, and he always knew the right leading questions to ask. Ezra helped me fine tune my processes, time management, and strategy execution, and I scored a 510 on my first real MCAT. Just a month later, after only focusing on the areas that Ezra helped me identify, I nailed my target score of a 521. I am thrilled with my improvement and I cannot recommend Ezra highly enough!

I was referred to Inspira Advantage by a friend who was successful in getting into a DO program with their help. Even though med school consultant packages can be expensive, Andrew at Inspira Advantage provided many benefits that easily made it worth the cost. Having him every step of the way, whether it was related to advice on the MCAT, essay brainstorming, or interview strategy, really made the application process that much smoother and less stressful. The guidance that Andrew offered was great and his feedback was helpful. Andrew was always very accessible and quick to respond. If he didn't have an answer right then, he was very proactive to find an answer by asking his network at Inspira Advantage. Overall, I was extremely pleased with Andrew and highly recommend him to anyone needing help with the med school application process. I really enjoyed my time working with him and am very confident in his ability to deliver successful results.

Derek's dedication and commitment to his clients were evident in every interaction. He was not only prompt in his responses but also went the extra mile to ensure that I was confident and well-prepared throughout the application process. His encouragement and support were invaluable, especially during times when I felt underconfident. Overall, Derek is the most responsible and dedicated admission consultant I have ever worked with. His expertise, commitment, and encouragement helped me put forth my best application. I highly recommend Derek to anyone seeking expert guidance and support in their med school application journey.

I did 40 hours of MCAT tutoring with Michael. If you're able to spend money on a tutor, this one is definitely worth the investment. At the beginning of the program, you receive a personalized practice plan. This was very valuable because it helped me stay accountable and focus well during crunch time. Michael was always accessible by email and helped me after the tutoring finished when I was hitting a Cars roadblock. I also liked how the tutoring included strategies for staying calm because the MCAT is a mentally tough exam.

I engaged Inspira to work on both my primary and secondary application essays. They turned out to be great. We did almost 20 turns. My team didn't allow me to be satisified with mediocre essays. The kept pushing me to do better and aim higher. True to their word, they really were cheerleaders, friends, and experts all in one.

Sam could not have been a better mentor, supporter, and wellspring of information throughout the application process. I started out with little knowledge about the world of med schools and MD programs, but Sam guided me every step of the way and helped me with everything from setting a timeline to figuring out the correct references to ask (and how to approach them) to practicing my interviews. Most importantly, she really understood who I was as an applicant, and helped me zero in on my "story" and tell it in the most compelling way. Sam is honest but always encouraging, and will tell you the things you need to hear while being incredibly patient and accommodating with her time. Throughout the entire process, I felt she genuinely cared about my application and my success, and I truly felt her support for me as a person. I cannot recommend Sam enough - she is an amazing choice for anyone aiming for the med school programs of their dreams!
