I did interview prep formed school admissions with Inspira. My interviewer did a scenario analysis that included putting me through what a tough interview might be like. I really appreciated it because I don't think I would have gotten that with a friend. My consultant was also very tactical in providing feedback. There was no fluff. Really happy with how things went.

I hired Inspira Advantage to help me with my primaries. Anna did a great job. She not only made my personal statement crip but asked me to include certain details that would make the essays tight and more interesting. Anna also seeked advice from other consultants who at Inspira and gave me invaluable advice. There was a drastic difference between my draft personal statement and activities list, and the final product. Moreover, the student success team was always in touch to ensure that my expectations were met. This just shows the company's commitment to its clients. Amazing service for a great a value!!

I am extremely grateful to Tara for guiding and coaching me through the application process. She was extremely patient with me as we dived deeper into my personal motivations and post-med school goals. Based on my aspirations, she worked with me to narrow down the 30 schools which were a fit for me based on my preferences. Eventually, I opted to work on 25 schools - out of which I got accepted into four, one of which provided significant scholarship. What truly sets Tara apart is the quality of her feedback. From conducting mock interviews, reviewing my personal statement, to critiquing my essays through multiple revisions (sometimes up to 6 times), she was always eager to help me ensure that my application was holistic and represented my best self. After working with her for more than 8 months, I'm extremely delighted to be going to one of the top med schools in the US. I owe this success to Tara. I've been extremely fortunate to have been mentored by her and couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking to begin a similar journey.

Ruchi helped me get into a top med school. The first thing that stood out to me is that she's really fun, but also no-nonsense! She knows her stuff... you can tell she comes from the admissions world and has the expertise to steer you toward the key fundamentals that really make a difference. I spoke with several consultants before going with Inspira... they all seemed to try to sell me on their magnificent writing or deep expertise on schools... but what was compelling to me is that the Inspira team gives you what most consultants can't: the experience of having worked in admissions. They knows how adcom ticks and can help you craft a compelling story that adcom will understand. I used an hourly package with Ruchi and found it to be a great value... she was transparent and efficient, very responsive, and impressively available. She'll be your #1 fan throughout the process, and will give you the confidence that you're turning in the strongest possible application.

I took the 60 hour MCAT tutoring program with Tomas. Tomas is a great instructor. He does a great job of providing you tricks and tips to ace the MCAT. My score jumped 16 points from the beginning of my tutoring sessions. Tomas also does a good job providing student specific strategies. I have test accommodations and he was able to provide me strategies specific to my accommodations. He also keeps in touch with you after the tutoring sessions to provide you any additional advice or resources you may need. I highly recommend taking the tutoring sessions with Tomas.

I was hesitant about investing in a med school admissions consulting firm because of the price tag, and looking back I have no regrets in investing in the hourly services package with Inspira Advantage. Every minute spent with Andrew was SO SO valuable - he helped me get into five medical schools and clearly directed me / answered all of my questions. Whether it was my resume review, outlining my essays, or even random questions about my application goals. He understood how I wanted to spend my time and never wasted a minute working with me. I could not have done it without him!!!

Jennifer helped me get into my dream school and made the application process as stress-free as possible! Jennifer took the time to get to know me, my background, and what I was hoping to gain from becoming a practicing doctor, and she helped me narrow in on the schools that would be the best fit for me and highlight my strengths through my application. I really appreciated how she provided guidance and suggestions that helped me take my personal statement, essays and AMCAS application to the next level but never tried to change my writing style or the essence of what I wanted to portray. She was so supportive throughout the process, provided an achievable timeline, and was a calming presence as I submitted my applications and prepared for interviews. She has a thorough understanding of schools and the application process, and she provided valuable insights that I never would have known without her. She made the application process enjoyable, and she even helped me learn more about myself that I will carry with me beyond med school. She was always quick to respond and accommodated my schedule for calls and prep. I am so thankful to Jennifer for all of her amazing guidance and would highly recommend working with her!

I was a TMDSAS applicant in 2019 and was so happy when I was invited to leave this review. I have such fond memories of working with the Inspira team. They were marvelous in every regard. Everyone on my team was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They made sure my timelines were met. I got to know what the admissions committee really cares about and ended up going to Dell Med. It was great that Inspira was able to provide structure and shape in the form of a compelling application to years of hard work I had put in as an undergrad.

It was always a goal of mine to go to med school and at first, I thought I could go the cheap route and do it on my own. Big mistake. I ended up getting rejected from every school but I was determined, and decided to go for it the next year. I was introduced to Jennifer through multiple friends who had used her in the past and raved about their experience. Truthfully, the cost was a bit daunting at first but after our first meeting I could tell that the Inspira team knew exactly what they were doing. From her own experience of applying and getting into med school, coupled with her immense knowledge from working in admissions, she brought insight that I could have gotten from few other sources. She was incredibly thoughtful but pushed me to think about what I really wanted and how to craft my story from my past and where I wanted to end up. I had a terrible GPA and decent MCAT scores, so it was an uphill battle from the start, but I ended up being accepted to an MD program that had rejected me the previous year. Can't thank Jennifer enough for all her hard work and dedication throughout the process, it sure paid dividends in the long run.

Alex's approach to storytelling, beginning with a systematic review of my personal experiences and followed with introspection on these experiences' impacts on my life trajectory and goals, struck me immediately after I began working with her. I revisited many memories I hadn't paid attention to for a while, and with her advice, I tailored my secondary essays to the unique characteristics of each school. Her in-depth feedback and strategies to help me convey as many important aspects of my stories as I could were instrumental to my success. I was also impressed by Alex's empathy and personal touch "“ her unbiased evaluation of my strengths and weaknesses and how each school aligned with my long-term goals made me confident that I would thrive anywhere I ended up applying. She also gently reminded me of deadlines and helped me stay on top of the application process, from test-taking to school research to personal statement-writing, which was plenty to juggle along with a full-time job. As a whole, I found her very enthusiastic, encouraging, and responsive, and I highly recommend her. Thanks again for your help, Alex!

I worked with Inspira Advantage's MCAT tutor Joe one on one to fine-tune a few skills after completing some self study. Joe was great! He was extremely organized and helped me find out how to squeeze a few more points out of the test. His nightly homework assignments kept me super focused until test day, and his advice about how to prepare in the week/days leading up to the test truly helped me go into the test with the confidence that I would get the score that I was hoping for. Joe was a great instructor and I highly recommend him to students who are looking to further their MCAT studies.

I studied for about 4-5 months on my own using other study materials and got a 505, but after the 40 hour tutoring program with Inspira Advantage I ended up with a 524. I especially liked the structured tutoring setup where each week there would be assigned reading and practice problems followed up by a tutoring session where we would go over strategies and problem types that corresponded with the homework. The test is so much about strategy and my instructor, Joe Kellum, was awesome in helping to identify the problem types and apply the different strategies to correctly answer the questions. He also provided super helpful input after each of the practice tests to help me figure out what I was getting wrong and where I should be directing my time and resources. At the end of the program, he provided an even better breakdown of where to spend the next couple weeks before my test. For anyone looking for a solid structured study plan and an insightful instructor, I would highly recommend Inspira Advantage and Joe.

Josh was integral to my med school application process, and I truly could not recommend him enough. When I first met with him, I was very lost on where to begin with my school selection and personal statement, and he provided several exercises to get me going. From there, I was able to find a thread throughout my life/career that felt true to who I am and where I'm going. Without him, I am positive that I wouldn't have come out with such a strong school list and written documents. Josh was also very helpful in preparing me for interviews by conducting simulated mock interviews where he asked some tough questions and gave honest, constructive feedback. I know I wouldn't have been as well prepared without him. Finally, he played a major role in my decision-making process. I was very torn between 2 schools, and he not only offered his own advice, but also sourced thoughts from his network to help bring in additional data points. I felt confident with my final decision thanks to Josh, and I intend to stay in touch with him throughout med school and beyond.

From our initial call, Jennifer made it clear the process was more than just helping me gain admission to my programs of choice. Instead, we spent a significant amount of time identifying my core values and how these shaped my long term goals. This in turn helped to lay the foundation for why I was looking to pursue an MD in the first place. Jennifer was always very timely in her feedback and available by phone or email whenever I needed. Even small things like sending me school events or student profiles that matched my intended career parth and interests demonstrate how Jennifer really goes above and beyond. Additionally, while you work with one consultant, you benefit from the collective knowledge of the Inspira team which is tremendously helpful as well. I got into two med schools!!! While the decision to work with a consultant is significant investment of time and money, I believe it's well worth it as you come out of the process with a clear understanding of yourself and a roadmap for how to achieve your long term ambitions.

I used an hourly package to write 12 secondary essays. Emily worked with me to effectively craft my unique story into a compelling desire to pursue med school (I am a musician by night and a researcher in a pharma company by day). I had the story in my head, but Emily took my essays from ok to great. She brought out passion, specifics (that I had long forgotten), and detailed knowledge about the nuances of each school to help me tailor each application. She was also incredibly efficient with the limited time we had, turning each iteration of my essays around quickly -- sometimes within hours. End result: 3 med school acceptances, plus a substantial merit fellowship option. She has also continued to coach me on negotiation strategies post-acceptances. 10/10 recommend! Stats: MCAT 512, GPA 3.68, psychology undergrad

Inspira's service was excellent. My consultant was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Her feedback was candid and strategic. We had an initial kickoff call at the beginning, where we went over my target list of schools and she gave me advice on my likelihood of success with each one. We then met to strategize on how to best showcase my strengths and explain my weaknesses. We also reviewed the secondaries to get a sense of how to approach them. I got into 6 of 25 schools I applied to. Their package was the most value for the price and in the end it was absolutely worth it. Thanks Inspira!

I was referred to the Inspira Advantage MCAT tutoring program by multiple friends and relatives who had great success with it and were admitted to top MD and DO programs across the country. The common theme when speaking to every single referral was that Inspira's tutors are miracle workers and each person credited their personalized approach, work ethic, and patience as a major reason why they did so well on their MCAT. When I first spoke with Inspira, I learned that they have tutors across the country, which was a big plus. We could video chat at pretty much any of the day that worked for me and the Enrollment team at Inspira connected me with a tutor whose schedule met my needs. I feel as though a written review for my tutor, Emily, isn't enough to convey how good of a tutor she is. If you're lucky enough to work with Emily, take advantage of her knowledge and if you work hard, you will succeed. She is hands down the best tutor I've ever worked with.

Jennifer is an excellent consultant!! I highly recommend her for anyone who is applying to med school. I started working with her in the Spring with the plan to apply that Summer/Fall. First, before applications, we worked on short- and long-term goals and took a deep dive into my strengths in order to begin to shape my story. We brainstormed schools that would be the best fit for me and she introduced me to students and/or alums that I could talk to about their experience. She then guided me through the entire application process, including personal statement, AMCAS, AACOMAS, essays, videos, recommendations, interviews (with mock interviews), etc. I found her to be extremely relatable, professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. Jennifer always has a positive attitude which is very refreshing as the application process can be very daunting. I cannot thank Jennifer enough for helping me get into 2 MD and 4 DO programs. There is no doubt in my mind that hiring Jennifer was the right decision and I have already strongly recommended her to family and friends.

I interviewed 4 different companies, and Melisa was the obvious choice for my med school journey. I worked with Ellen via an hourly package, and she was more than generous with her time, recommendations, and resourcefulness. I chose Ellen and she was honest and thoughtful about the maturity of my story and profile, and helped focus my energy where it counted the most. She honored my voice while ensuring all my bases are covered. I appreciated how she kept me in mind, and would send me resources that she thought I would benefit from. Other consultants would try and push a story on me, but Ellen knew my super-power was owning my own story - I would highly recommend Ellen again and again.

After a failed application cycle, a friend introduced me to Inspira Advantage. They have very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced consultants. They helped me throughout the application process, and I was finally accepted at UC RIverside School of Medicine.
