After an initial tough round applying to MD programs, I am grateful to have had Inspira Advantage as my advisors the second time around. My consultant, Sheena, has been invaluable in helping me find my voice within my applications and be a better storyteller within my interviews. All the while Sheena consistently encouraged and supported me throughout process as she meticulously polished every aspect of my application. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have gained invaluable skills that I will continue to use throughout my career. I am happy to say I will be attending one of my top choices this fall!

Before Susmita was recommended to me through a friend, I was hesitant about med school consultants. Not after I met Susmita! We connected instantly and I loved her authentic self. I valued her experiences and opinions and most importantly, I trusted that she had my best interest at heart. She helped me stay on track with my essays and applications. Most importantly, this process is wonderfully designed to discover yourself and Inspira has just the right team to make that happen. I was happy that through my stories and experiences, Susmita helped me see a version of myself that I didn't see before. This eventually helped me got into my dream med school, UCSF! I would highly recommend Susmita and her team at Inspira! Interview prep and offer negotiation guidance were also extremely helpful!

I highly recommend private tutoring with Philip. After scoring 507 on my first attempt I signed up for 40 hours of 1:1 private tutoring with Philip and retook the MCAT after a few months. On my second attempt, I accomplished my goal and scored 521. Philip helped identify strengths/weaknesses and targeted strategic areas for improvement to help me raise my score in a short amount of time. In the tutoring sessions, Philip coached me on content as well as strategy and I felt well-prepared during my second MCAT attempt. Could not have achieved the score I was hoping for as quickly as I was able to without Philip's help. I highly recommend using Joshua regardless of where you stand in your studies. He will help set goals and provide useful insights that will help you accomplish those goals.

I feel fortunate and grateful to have had Aryaman by my side on my med school application journey, and I recommend him 100%. Aryaman will be sincerely interested in your story; he will carefully listen to you; he will push you to travel deep into your past and to take the time to seriously reflect on your career ambition in connection with your core. Once he knows you well, he will bring his expertise to guide you step by step. At the end, not only will you have very solid application materials, but also will you walk away from your collaboration with him with a better understanding of yourself, having experienced personal growth along the way. Then you will have won for your whole life, no matter where you end up. That's my case.

In light of my average GPA and a below-median MCAT score, my expectations were not high that I would be accepted into a top med school. Just to have a chance of acceptance, I needed an expert like Kenyon who could help me craft my strengths, top accomplishments, and best leadership stories into a cohesive and compelling application. Kenyon helped me sharpen my career goals, worked with me on the best essay strategy, advised me on how to get incredible results from my recommenders, and coached me through a mock interview. I say with complete confidence that if it hadn't been for Kenyon, then I would have not been given a full ride at an MD/PhD program!!!!

My experience with Anna has been amazing and was a game-changer in my applications. I do not have the best raw stats, but I felt I had a good background and story for wanting to do an med school. Anna helped me visualize and translate that story into something tangible that admission officers could understand. She worked closely with me to understand my goals post-med school and long-term while working with my previous experience to understand how to best convey my unique message to admission committees. Working with Anna and Inspira helped my story come to life and enhance my application to get me to several interviews and acceptances. The med school process is complicated and there are many little details that go unnoticed by the typical person that may be going through the process alone. It makes a significant difference having a trusted advisor guiding you along the way. Working with Anna for several months, I felt much more confident and prepared in my applications, interviews, and communications with admission officers. One unique differentiator about Inspira is that you are able to work with several different people across their entire team (e.g. certain interviews with schools you can prep with another admissions consultant that has specific expertise with that particular program). I highly recommend Anna for anyone throughout the med school application cycle!

Maddy's online tutoring provided a great mix of live instruction and practice problems to be the foundation for my MCAT study journey. Maddy is clearly an experienced MCAT instructor and can teach all sections of the MCAT really well. She also is very good at explaining topics in simple terms and provides a number of effective strategies and frameworks to use to attack every type of question on the MCAT, as well as overall test-taking strategies such as time management and when to guess, both of which are critical to succeed on the MCAT. She is very engaged and patient at all times. I did the 60 hour program with Maddy as I was preparing to take the MCAT for the second time, and she created an individualized study plan for me and shared additional resources to target my areas for improvement. This study plan was very helpful to follow between my first and second MCAT test dates, and helped me improve my overall score by 17 points in just over 2 months. I highly recommend taking your MCAT prep course with Maddy!

Working with Dr. Gupta was an amazing experience. She assisted me in every part of the application process, helping me finding more about myself, making me feel more confident and changing the perspective I had about myself. Overall, it would be impossible for me to prepare on my own an application like the one I ended up submitting. The only resemblance between the original documents I wrote and the ones I submitted is the white background in google word... She was tireless in getting the best of each sentence, trying to get the most of the story I was telling. Dr. Gupta kept pushing me to go deeper in every detail, which allowed me to write unique essays, personal statement, and application documents that truly reflected who I am. And it wasn't just the writing. After preparing my interview with Dr. Gupta, the real interview with the admissions team felt like I was doing it for the second time. Dr. Gupta's help was absolutely decisive for the success of my application to UC Irvine med school! Dr. Gupta was kind and patient, but at the same time she never allowed me to go out of focus, making it the perfect balance. At the end of this journey, Dr. Gupta is not just the coach who helped me writing all the documents I needed. She is a person from whom I seek real advice and I whose opinion I completely trust. My application process has just ended and I already miss my meetings with her!

Josh was outstanding to work with through my med school application process. He was instrumental in setting out a strategic plan to navigate past my low undergrad GPA and highlighting my strengths in the applications. The process started with a few brief calls to get to know one another. Followed by strategic planning sessions. He tailored everything to help fit my ideal process and was very responsive at all hours of the day and night. He was great at editing essays and using short hand to help highlight my strengths without rambling. Furthermore, his vast knowledge of med schools and previous experience in admissions were invaluable. He was always readily available to deal with any question or issue at moment's notice. Ultimately, I was accepted into several MD programs. I highly recommend Josh and Inspira Advantage. The investment was worth every penny.

Dr. Neil was an amazing consultant for me. He helped me get into some top MD programs and was willing to go above and beyond in helping me. I really appreciated all his help and would definitely recommend him to others! If it wasn't for her help and strategy, I probably wouldn't have gotten some of the MD offers that I received. Dr. Neil was very kind and supportive along the way. Initially I was skeptical of whether or not I should spend money on this service but it was well worth it. Navigating medical school apps is tricky and it always helps to have a consultant.

One of my friends had used Dr. Xu the year before I started my my med school apps, and recommended her to me. Looking back, taking that recommendation and hiring Dr. Xu was the single best choice I made through the entire med school application application process. A few key points about my experience with Dr. Xu: 1.) Dr. Xu is extremely skilled at helping you craft your story. I was unsure that my story would be particularly compelling to the admissions committee, and didn't know how to approach my essays and personal statement. Dr. Xu took time to really get to know me and understand my background, and helped me write a story that was logical, memorable, and a great presentation of who I really am. I started out feeling like my essays and my personal story could be a weak spot in my application, and by the time we had finished them I felt the total opposite, that they were the strength of my application. 2.) Dr. Xu is an absolute professional. She is always quick to respond, thorough, and willing to help with any question that I had (I had many). Her calendar is available to you as a client and you can enlist her help with anything that comes up, which is an invaluable resource. She is also with you every step of the way, including comprehensive interview prep after the applications are submitted. 3.) Lastly, Dr. Xu is a great person and a pleasure to work with. I had a lot of fun brainstorming and bouncing ideas off of her on our many video calls. You can tell she takes great pride in her work and truly enjoys helping people reach their dreams of attending medical school. If you are considering applying to med school, hiring Dr. Xu is the best choice you could make. I knew next to nothing when I started the process and was totally rudderless, but Dr. Xu got me on track and helped me create an application that was better than I'd ever imagined it could be. If your goal is attending medical school, hiring Dr. Xu is the best investment you can make.

For my med school admissions I used Inspira Advantage's services. I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Talbott. She guided me in every step of my applications journey, right from the beginning to interview prep. She made sure she brought out the best of me. She thoroughly reviewed my life experiences, work experience, and made sure I convey the right things. She challenged me to focus on my WHYs and WHATs of the med school application process and beyond. She has experience working with diverse set of candidates and would be an amazing mentor for anybody looking to get into "tough to get into" category med-schools. Dr. Talbott was extremely friendly and empathized with my situations while pushing me to do more when I could. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with their services and recommend it to others as well.

After working with Sophie, I compared the application material I first wrote on my own to the final product with Sophie's coaching and it's like it came from a completely different person. At every step of the process of working with Sophie, I knew that I was in capable hands. She showed both professionalism and profound empathy when guiding me through the application process. Her experience proved invaluable as many of the assumptions I had about the process were entirely incorrect. My successful application, and the financial aid I received with it, are a testament to her ability as an admission consultant.

Working with Chris from Inspira Advantage was very very helpful. I went into the process very narrow minded - I only wanted to apply to schools in the state I was living in. Through working with Chirs and discussing other options, he gently guided me to a place where I could picture myself applying & moving elsewhere. In the end, every school I got into was out of my state and I also received scholarship money from a good number of schools. I didn't know if before this process, but the school I am attending is quite literally my dream school, and I am forever grateful to Chirs. Chirs, thank you for providing me with guidance and preparing me in all ways for what was to come in this process. Your insight was invaluable.

After what I might've called a traumatic undergraduate college admissions experience, I feel confident saying I've finally moved past it after the tremendous success I've now had with getting into med school. I owe most of this success to Olivia. Out of the 25 schools where she helped me, I got into six and all with significant scholarships. I started working with her in February and feel I was really rewarded with almost a year of advice and mentorship throughout this often very stressful process. My initial drafts for my personal statement and essays were very rough and Olivia helped me refine them through more than 8 drafts sometimes, until we both, felt they were strong - and they were! I got in! I feel very lucky to have worked with Olivia and couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is embarking on this process. Start early! It pays off in spades.

I remember starting off my application journey doubting my candidacy and being daunted by the process ahead. Med school felt completely out of reach. And then, I met Rohan. I'd spoken with other consultants before and hadn't felt a strong connection, but immediately felt Rohan saw me for who I was. He was invested in me from our very first meeting, and his enthusiasm and passion turned what could have been an agonizing process into a very rewarding one. Rohan broke down the application process into manageable pieces, from filling out the AMCAS application, story building, and personal statement writing, all the way to interview preparation (and every step in between). He patiently worked with me to refine, polish, and, when necessary, go back to the drawing board with my materials. The result was confidence at every juncture that I was putting my truest self forward in my written applications and interviews. Rohan has a rare talent for seeing the best in people and inspiring them to express that outwardly. My applications were immeasurably more authentic thanks to his encouragement to dig deeper, be detailed, and be open to vulnerability. And it is precisely that authenticity I credit with receiving acceptances to four med schools. I never felt like I was working in a purely transactional business relationship because I was working with a mentor and friend who genuinely cared about my success and wellbeing. He believed in me even when I doubted myself "“ I almost chose not to apply this past round because I was so worried about taking the MCAT! With his support, I persevered and will be attending The Mayo Clinic in the fall. Rohan's impact continues beyond the time I spent applying and interviewing. The written and verbal communication skills he taught me will be invaluable in my career and beyond. On a personal note, he serves as one of the greatest examples of a true coach, embodying empathy, perceptiveness, and authenticity in spades. I'm very fortunate to have worked with him and would do so again in a heartbeat.

As a South Asian woman with below average MCAT scores and clinical and research experience, I knew that achieving my dream of attending a top MD program would be an uphill battle - that's where Rohan came in. Rohan helped me navigate the extremely daunting task of applying to top MD programs and was there to support me every single step of the way. Rohan is extremely organized, highly knowledgeable and tremendously structured in his approach with all his clients. In addition to being a fantastic editor, Rohan has a deep understanding of what admissions committees look for (having been on multiple committees himself) and helped me craft a very compelling story which highlighted my strengths and mitigated my weaknesses. I genuinely appreciated his direct feedback on my essays and at times when the entire process felt overwhelming and emotional, Rohan was always there to support me and lift me back up again. Towards the end of the application process I came to see Rohan not just as my med school consultant, but also as a mentor and a friend. Rohan truly changed my life by helping me and my twin sister get into an MD program. I highly recommend anyone looking for a consultant especially those from South Asian backgrounds to choose Rohan - it is a decision you will not regret!
