I got into my two top schools and could not have done it without Arya's guidance. I was very confused at the start of the process but she was super organised and guided me meticulously through every step of the process right from choosing your recommenders to interview prep. The brainstorming exercises she gave me really made me think and present a well rounded and genuine story. Also the fact that Inspira has a personalized story development approach was another big plus! She was also very efficient with time and got back to me the next day in most cases. Highly recommend!

Dr. Jotwani was always focused on what was best for me. In our first couple of meetings, we began by exploring why I wanted to go to medical school before even getting to the where or how. With his guidance, I ultimately decided that applying to 30 schools was a better fit for my circumstances. His integrity made it easy to trust him, a trust that made the rest of the application process so much more comfortable because of its inherently personal nature. Dr. Jotwani is also why I found my authentic voice during the application writing process itself. He was uncanny at helping me identify, highlight, and expand on the pieces of my journey and ambitions that are core to who I am. In our brainstorming sessions she listened intently and asked incisive questions that helped me uncover insights about myself that I had never considered. In the writing phase, he had an instinctive feel for which pieces of my writing were sincere and which were banal, and never hesitated to push me to promote the former and cull the latter to the tune of almost 40 drafts of my applications. From the macro broad themes of my application to single word choices in an activities list, he was a patient partner, never letting me compromise on sharing the most sincere version of myself. Even if I had not gotten into school, I was proud of the journey because I knew that we had left it all on the table. Fortunately, in large part because of his steadfast support, I was accepted into Duke University School of Medicine, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Brown University Alpert Medical School.

I came to Carmen without a clear understanding of the application process and a jumble of ideas and thoughts on what I wanted to say in my personal statement and why I wanted to become a doctor. She helped organize my thoughts, which not only helped my application but also helped me look inwards and recognize what my goals / capabilities are in my career. She has a great personality (eternal optimist) and makes you feel accepted and supported throughout the process. I felt like she was in the trenches with me and emotionally invested in my future. It was a great working with her. Her contributions added a lot of value and I think the value of the service was well-worth the cost. I was admitted to Mercer University School of Medicine.

I had an amazing experience working with Michaela. She was extremely useful in helping craft my story and establishing my goals for becoming a doctor. She provided me with some valuable insights. She has also very responsive throughout the entire process and even made herself available during the holiday period to help me. Michaela is able to ask you the right questions to trigger self-reflection and she is gifted at getting the best out of you. I highly recommend Michaela and I am very satisfied with the investment. In the end, I was admitted to Johns Hopkins with a scholarship and at Northwestern Feiberg. Thank you again for your help Michaela!

Tejal and the rest of the Inspira Advantage team were instrumental in helping me identify my strengths and shape my narrative for med school. When you begin working with Tejal, she takes you through several introspection exercises, which alone are worth the interaction and are tremendously helpful in creating your unique story. Tejal and Co. also bring in-depth knowledge of the individual characteristics of each school to ensure you find the right program for you. Additionally, Inspira deploys a team effort. While Tejal was my main counselor, an entire research team's insights were being shared with me. Tejal also connected me with some of her old clients at the schools I was interested in, providing me an opportunity to learn even more about the various schools. I fully recommend working with Tejal as she helped me better understand myself and, just as importantly, get into med school.

Dr. Sharma did an amazing job helping me perfect all my applications. I got accepted to University of Florida College of Medicine, Florida State University College of Medicine, and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and I have Dr. Sharma to thank for it. She guided me throughout the entire process. She helped me pick a from brainstorming my initial thoughts to interview prep. She helped me refine my application documents and focus each of my applications on what would work best at each school. Her deep knowledge of each program, and the depth of expertise at Inspira as a whole, allowed me to expertly tailor each of my applications in ways I never could have by myself. I cannot recommend Dr. Shama and the whole Inspira team enough.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate that I got to collaborate with Dr. White as my admissions consultant. Her expertise in this field is truly exceptional, and I can confidently say that my achievement wouldn't have been possible without her guidance. She has an outstanding work ethic and consistently went above and beyond what I expected of her, in terms of both time and effort. I'm immensely grateful that I trusted my instincts and selected her because not only did I get accepted but I received a scholarship as well at UVA School of Medicine. Dr. White is a true expert at this. She knows exactly what should and shouldn't go into your application to make it stand out. She is sharp and crisp and knows how to cut the fluff. Not only did she help make my application so much more cohesive but she was there to support and guide me through my extended waiting period even after I had submitted my application. During moments when I felt discouraged, she helped ease my nerves. Just knowing that I had her on my side on my journey made me feel so reassured. Her support was so much more than just transactional, she really wanted me to succeed and she put in extra effort to that end. If you have the opportunity to work with her on your applications, consider yourself extremely fortunate.

I was an applicant to med schools recently. Among the various consultants available, I chose Inspira Advantage and was paired with Jessica. I am extremely happy with this choice because she responds promptly and has a very organized approach to structuring my documents including TMDSAS, personal statement, secondaries, etc. She meticulously reviewed my life and work experiences and provided tailored advice for the schools I wanted to apply to. She also understood the potential weaknesses in my experiences and helped me address them in the optional information, allowing the admissions team to better understand who I am through my application documents. The essay was completed in just about two weeks, which put my mind at ease for other application matters. During the interview process, Jessica also shared some interview tips to help me prepare with confidence. I am genuinely thrilled to have successfully applied to 25 schools and gotten accepted at Johns Hopkins among other top schools, and I am very grateful for seeking Jessica's assistance from the beginning.

I purchased 60 hours of MCAT tutoring with Joe Kellum as my instructor. He did a great job teaching the class, keeping me accountable without too much pressure, and making complex concepts easy to digest.

Sure, getting tutoring on Saturday mornings for two months doesn't sound like all that much fun, but this test really requires that you commit. On a few occasions, when I wasn't able to make Saturday work, I scheuled sessions after class during the week. I found that I was totally wiped out by the time I got there - I recommend doing this on weekends!

The program includes a wealth of study resources--more than anyone should really need. If you follow the program, you will improve. Stay loose, trust the experts. You got this!

I worked with Alex in the hopes of getting into an MD program. I chose to work with a consultant because when I had applied by myself the previous year, I had been denied from all 16 programs that I had applied to without any interview invites even though I felt I had competitive experiences and a MCAT score above the averages for all the programs.

I chose Inspira Advantage for one main reason, they didn't treat me as just another customer to put into a preset program, but rather an individual with specific needs. I talked to several different companies before making my decision, but only Inspira asked me to send essays from my previous application and used it to prep for my intro meeting with my consultant. That hour-long meeting was followed up with a personalized project plan.

I began working directly with Alex about seven months before application deadlines. For the first couple of months, we worked on understanding my life story and how that fit into my goals for becoming a doctor. After that, we started narrowing down which programs would make sense for me to apply to and I eventually chose 25 schools. Though I gave myself seven months to work on my applications, Alex still helped me focus on what all needed to get done and I ended up spending time on most weeknights on my application and it definitely made a big difference in the end.

One area where Alex made the biggest difference was in my personal statement and essays. I went through at least 3 revisions of each documents. Alex's ability to let my voice shine through my applications while helping me sculpt my message was invaluable. He also set specific requirements for himself (feedback within 72 hours on anything I submitted to him for review) and stuck to it. One thing I especially appreciate in hindsight is that Alex never tried to make a decision for me (which schools to apply to, which life stories to use in my personal statement, etc), but rather helped by providing guidance on how to think through the problems and as a result become more intentional in my choices.

When I sent out my applications, I knew everything in my application--the written documents, recommendations, education, and AMCAS activities list, etc. "“ was leagues beyond what I had submitted the previous year. While I had personal advancements that played a factor in this, the largest change was working with Alex.

I ended up interviewing at 11 schools. I was then accepted into five MD programs. I simply could not have imagined this being a possibility after I had been rejected from 16 programs just a year earlier.

By the end of the med school application cycle, Alex became more than just a consultant. In fact, when I got the good news for my acceptances, he was the first person I contacted after my family to tell the good news.

Working with Nakia and Inspira was one of the best decisions I made while applying to medical school. Nakia came highly recommended by a friend, and I could tell that she was fully committed to my candidacy from the get-go. The Inspira model is vastly different from other admissions consultants'. I really appreciated the time spent on introspection early on, it helped me delve deep into who I am and what motivates me. Nakia provided plenty of additional resources to help me along the introspection process. Over the course of my 25 applications, Nakia went above and beyond. She sometimes even used her personal network to help connect me to med school students with similar backgrounds to mine. Most importantly though, she was organised, patient and always available. The application journey is stressful (with many many moments of doubt and uncertainty), and Donna is the right person to have in your corner to navigate the process. All in all, as an overrepresented candidate with a middling MCAT score, working with Nakia helped me gain an admit to four MD programs.

Hands down: Without Yash, I likely would not have gotten into med school. Yash was the single most important factor in molding my applications into truly personal pieces of storytelling. Yash's vast experience in med school admissions helps him to carefully guide and review your personal statement and essay writing. He starts by going through your anecdotes and then illustrates ways to knit these into seamless, convincing stories of purpose and goals. Yash provides you a voice that is uniquely humble, genuine, and driven. I really appreciated how direct Yash's comments were: There is no sugarcoating and his efficiency makes for an ultimately much better application. Yash is very reliable and his return times are incredibly short "“ he often came back to me within 2 hours of sending a draft.

I had a really positive experience with Inspira admissions consultants. One of the key aspects was the availability of multiple experts to engage with throughout the process, including folks on the student success team. This added level of expertise and diverse perspectives enhanced guidance received and Inspira made sure to introduce me to an expert on their team that had experience with my target schools. I found Inspira to be flexible and accommodating, making their services not only valuable but also affordable. If you're seeking a dedicated team that genuinely invests in your success, I would definitely recommend considering Inspira for your admissions consulting needs.

The brainstorming sessions with Carmen were wonderful. She was able to bring out so many life experiences from my side to add to the application that I could not have imagined. I was happy with my results and would recommend her. Thanks a lot Carmen!

I can fully and whole heartedly recommend Inspira Advantage, and Emily Keily. From the moment I engaged them, I was impressed by their professionalism, experience, responsiveness, and engagement with me and my goals. Emily was available to review updates to my personal statement, secondaries, and other application documents at a moment's notice. Her reviews and comments were insightful and targeted towards the requirements of the admissions committee at the school I was applying to. With their help I was able to put forward the best version of myself, and present the elements of my professional life to the admissions committee that they wanted to see. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is applying to med schools.

Aanika was incredible throughout the entire process, from start to finish. She was a fantastic professional resource, helping me with my essays, positioning, personal narrative, and interviews. She is very detail oriented and client focused, tailoring all of her recommendations specifically to me, my background, and the schools I was applying to. Aanika was also a fantastic personal resource, keeping me upbeat and positive throughout a very difficult and arduous admissions process. Ultimately it ended in success and much of that is thanks to working with Aanika. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends, personal contacts, or anyone looking for help when applying to med school.

I was accepted into UCSF, Robert Wood Johnson, and Columbia Vagelos. I contacted Inspira four weeks AMCAS opened, debating whether or not it would be feasible for me to apply. I had somewhat of a nontraditional background and was unsure I'd get in. However, within three weeks, my counselor, Dr. Jotwani completely revamped my application. On an extremely tight schedule, we went through various rounds of edits. Dr. Jotwani made my experiences and activities list med school friendly, edited my personal statement and essays to highlight the ways in which my skills could be applied to a med school setting, and coached me on my interview. Dr. Jotwani was extremely detail-oriented, working through every single aspect of the application and helping me to craft a cohesive and compelling narrative that stayed true to myself while also signaling certain requirements to the admissions committee. I would not have gotten into the program without Dr. Jotwani's help, and am so glad I reached out to him! I'm indebted!

Shriya was there for me every step of the way, pushed me to get the best out of me, gave me tough love when needed, motivated me and cheered for my success at every turn ! Shriya did not accept anything less than extraordinary from me on any essay, resume or application requirement. Let me repeat this again, " Shriya did not accept anything less than extraordinary from me ! " she guided me with her deep experience to get me there. Her attention to detail is mind blowing. The interview prep (esp. MMI) process was very thoughtful and tailored. Shriya gave me feedback and pointers to improve before every interview. We even had multiple sessions as needed. I truly feel we travelled a fantastic journey together. If you're reading this review, let me tell you this, it might be hard for you to truly hear a person you've never met. Stop your search and place your faith with Shriya ! This will be one of the best decisions you make, which will transform your life. I am in awe of Shriya and her team. Today Shriya is more than a consultant who worked with me, she is my close friend. I never imagined I would be accepted to not one, but two top 10 MD programs.

Nakia is a fantastic resource to anyone seeking guidance and support in their med school application journey. With her expertise, dedication, and personalized approach, Nakia helped me secure an offer from three MD programs despite a below average GPA and test scores for those schools. Throughout the admissions process, which can be more akin to a marathon than a sprint, Nakia helped me create a strategy of regular communication with admissions committees and constantly developing areas of my application that may be viewed as weaknesses. The right strategy will elevate your candidacy above any one grade or score, and through consistent effort and willingness to improve your profile, you will stand out. To anyone who believes that the right school is out of reach for them, I strongly recommend Nakia and the team at Inspira as partners in the med school admissions process. Nakia stuck with me throughout the application cycle and I couldn't be happier with the result!

I highly recommend Benjamin and Inspira to anyone aspiring to get into an MD program. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I was admitted to UCLA. Benjamin's assistance went beyond navigating the Inspira process; he provided invaluable insights into what I truly wanted out of life and med school. Through thoughtful discussions and probing questions, Benjamin helped me clarify my goals and aspirations. Overall, Benjamin's guidance and expertise were crucial to my success in the admissions process.
