I first started my med school application journey in January and decided to use admission consulting services. The hardest decision was to choose what company's services I would use. Of course, my instinct told me to find a service that felt the most trustworthy. After trying free consultation services from the top 5 admission consulting services that I found through my research, one company stood out: Inspira Advantage.
When you book a free 30-minute consultation, your expectations should be low: you could get a sales pitch, information about why the firm is the best, but you will feel rushed since it's only 30 minutes. But with Inspira Advantage, you meet Sarah. Yes, she is an Admissions Specialist, but I think she could easily be a therapist. She is so calm, collected, knowledgable, and not salesy at all.
When you meet Sarah, you should not worry about the 30 minutes. If she believes she can help you, she will invest her time in you by delving deep into your background and truly consulting you on whether or not Inspira would be the right fit. Your advisor, mine is Andrew, will then assess your med school candidacy, and provide you with their recommendation of med schools that suit your profile. But, as you might already read in other reviews, the Inspira team will not talk you out of the school of your choice. They will give you a well-informed risk level for each school you plan to apply to. I chose 25 schools, and, given my profile, Andrew gave these schools target, reach, and safety risk levels.
After you decide on the schools of your choice, you begin to work on the school's application with Inspira Advantage and therefore start a deep, soul-searching experience. Andrew tirelessly helped me dig deep into my course of life and career to help me find meaningful stories for the personal statement and essays. He helped me build upon my internship experience a narrative of my future career in medicine that was convincingly impactful. And finally, Andrew gave his final touch and approval, ensuring that my application was unique among others and would catch Adcom's attention.
From where I come from, the cost of admission consulting services is very expensive. But If I were to repeat my med school application, I would, again and again, choose Inspira Advantage to help me. The cost seems to set me back just a little, given Inspira's excellent guidance and the usefulness of the content material they build for me. Other than applying to the 25 schools with Inspira, I use the Inspira built content to apply to not only five other schools but also several scholarship programs, of course, with few modifications.
After the med school application journey, I realized that what is special about Inspira is that they runs the company with her heart and soul. Sometimes I wonder how this world would be if every business were run with their principles.
