Saahil is a fantastic tutor. He is caring and attentive to all your needs. While conducting his tutoring sessions, he is able to provide tailored solutions in order to target your weaknesses. Saahil is also great at communication, he will make sure you reach your study goals throughout the course and after it. He helped me craft the study template that gave me a 19 point score improvement. If you are particularly struggling with CARS or bio/biochem, Saahil would be the perfect instructor for you. His tutoring gives you the structure you need to maintain the motivation necessary to reach your target score.

Since I wanted to switch careers and go to medical school, I was looking for someone who knew the application process inside out and could help me make contacts at different medical schools. A friend suggested Inspira Advantage. Once I had my first consultation, there was no looking back. I was confident that I was in good hands. A couple of months later, I had three acceptances in my hand. Thanks, Inspira!

As a candidate from an overrepresented category - teaming up with Jennifer was the best decision I made. Jennifer really puts in the additional effort to understand the applicant's story. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her dedication was a constant source of support throughout the application process. She took the time to really get to know me so that I could identify what is unique about me and present my most authentic self through my application documents and interviews. Her introspective inquiry process helped me come to realize my personal and life ambitions. She is kind and candid - the best of both! With her help, I will be attending a great MD program!

It's been a long time coming. This was my second application season, the first time I went on my own and it did not work out as I had expected (hoped actually). The second season, I signed up with Andrew from Inspira Advantage and without a doubt, it was the best decision and investment in the med school application process. I have no hesitation in saying that without Andrew's help, I would not have made me into two MD programs with a scholarship to boot!

I had a great experience working with Daniel at Inspira Advantage. My stats are on the low end (MCAT 511, GPA 3.5), so I really needed to knock my application out of the park. My background is also pretty unconventional, so I needed a lot of guidance crafting my story. Daniel and the rest of the team at Inspira Advantage really came through. I was ultimately offered admission to three MD programs. The Inspira Advantage team is very professional. They're also just super friendly. Daniel was always very quick to respond to my emails or to jump on the phone. My edits always came back within 72 hours, often earlier. Also, the interview prep was KEY. Daniel really got me in shape and boosted my confidence. I really appreciated that Inspira provided me with an entire team to help out. Daniel was my consultant, but there were researchers whose research I had access to, especially about what each school that I was applying to looks for in an application. I think all of the input on my applications really made a difference. If you're in the process of looking for a consultant, I would definitely suggest filling out their questionnaire and purchasing a program. As soon as I had my consult with Daniel, I knew he was the guy to help me through this process. And I'm so happy with how it turned out. Thanks Daniel!!!

Emily knows exactly how to bring out the best in you. She gave me targeted guidance on how to excel in interviews. Her feedback was always detailed and thoughtful, and it improved my responses. She simulated real interviews and then later went into a discussion to give feedback on our sessions. I felt much more prepared, thanks to our discussions.

My experience with Pranav was incredible. Beyond just helping me gain an admit to three highly competitive MD programs, Pranav's instruction and guidance led to a great deal of self-discovery in terms of my strengths as well as my real motivations for wanting to become a doctor. Pranav was absolutely critical in helping me draw out notable experiences in an otherwise unremarkable background. He saw essay potential in my experiences that I would have probably never uncovered by myself. Not only is Pranav a great admissions consultant, he is also a really great guy who took time out of his busy schedule for a few unscheduled pep talks that went beyond the application process. I give Pranav and Inspira Advantage School the highest possible recommendation and all of my expectations were exceeded with their service. Thank you Tyler!

Inspira Advantage and my instructor, Bretton, were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend you start the tutoring as early as possible to fully benefit from everything the program offers, which provides invaluable tips, testing strategies and insights into the exam. The study guides and all the resources recommended outside of the tutoring sessions are fully enough. The testing strategies are particularly helpful (it drills down to even knowing when to bail out so you have more time to spend on those questions within your range of ability and even best guessing strategies). I ended up getting 513, which is more than what I could have hoped for. When I started working initially on the MCAT, I was getting much, much lower scores and the whole process was very frustrating and time consuming. Having the Inspira team by my side turned about to be a game changer in so many ways.

I just have one word for Inspira's team - amazing. I could never have dreamed of putting together an application like the one they helped me develop. They know exactly what the admissions committee wants. Can't recommend them highly enough. I am very satisfied with my med school application package. One step closer to realizing my dream of becoming a doctor!

This MCAT tutoring program is set for 40 hours for students who are looking for very personalized, targeted support to get a high score. This program was perfect for me. Extremely detailed step by step, problem by problem schedule. A complete roadmap for success. You have a main path to follow with plenty of optional work to fill in gaps. Trust in the program, forget everything you know and do the test the way they teach you and you'll crush it. Saahil specifically is very engaging. The friendly atmosphere that he creates quickly feels like you are in person. He is polite and very responsive to individual questions during the sessions and after. Cannot tell you how impressed I was with Inspira's MCAT tutoring program.

I initially requested Joe to be my tutor after I had attended one of his MCAT webinars through Inspira and saw that he was strong in CARS. I was convinced that CARS was my weakness since I had a lower percentile score in CARS than any of the other sections. Right off the bat, he showed me how percentiles lie and recommended that I primarily focus my efforts not just on CARS, but also on organic chemistry. He taught me how to effectively deconstruct a question and corrected some misconceptions I had in organic chemistry. I learned to interpret the questions very fast and to not assume anything without being able to back my conclusion! I had considered giving up on the MCAT for the current cycle after taking the exam multiple times and not getting the results I wanted. With Joe's guidance and expertise, I found the motivation and vigor to keep going. Not only did I get the score I wanted, but I also enjoyed the process of studying for the MCAT. Highly recommend Joe as a tutor if you are new to the MCAT or stuck in a rut but determined to reach your goal!

At first, I only purchased the Rejection Analysis package from Inspira to see where I went wrong with my applications. The comprehensive analysis and feedback made me believe they could help me get into my dream school. I then bought the complete end-to-end support module from them. My application turned out to be far better than I expected, and I was offered a seat at two medical schools!

This review is for Joe and the Inspira Advantage MCAT tutoring program. I started studying for the MCAT in October and used a variety self-study resources. I made my first MCAT attempt in February and scored a 510. I was slightly disappointed because my goal score was 515. But I figured I was close, so I hit the books again focusing solely on CARS (my weakest section) for another few months, and took the test again in May. I scored a 508. I was incredibly frustrated and I was losing faith in myself. This is when I decided to call Inspira Advantage, looking for a private tutor. While on the video call, the Enrollment Manager informed me of Inspira's personal 1:1 tutoring program, so I decided to give it a try. This was the best decision I could have made. I would highly recommend this tutoring course for anyone who needs help getting from the 500s to the high 510s or 520+. Joe's approach was a complete game-changer for me. CARS problems had always really intimidated me, but after studying with Joe I felt like I could dismantle any problem. He taught me to focus on recognition of what the problem was testing, rather than just banging the approach into my head over and over again. In addition, I was already strong in other sections, but Joe was able to help me develop consistency and speed better than ever before by teaching a rules-based approach that supplemented my ear. I was calm and confident going into my third MCAT attempt, and I came out with a 522!!! After 10 months, 14 practice tests, and two real tests, my third and final MCAT attempt was a success thanks to Joe.

The Inspira Advantage tutoring program is great and Saahil was the best instructor! The structured pesonal learning plan and the diagnostic analyses really made a huge difference for me. The one on one aspect of the tutoring sessions was especially valuable in helping me. I got behind on the homework, so the live tutoring was really what kept me focused and engaged each week. Before I took the class I was just doing practice problems in the official guide but seeing minimal progress. Inspira's program really helps you to attack the test the way that the creators are trying to teach you. That is ultimately what contributed to my 14 point increase from my first 2 practice test to the real MCAT. So glad I did it! Made my goal of a 515+ score a reality!

I remember telling Katherine near the middle of my med school application process that "I really don't think I'm remarkable" only for Katherine to respond quickly that "Everyone is remarkable in their own way!" Katherine never wavered in her support for me, even when I was feeling a bit burnt out from MCAT, school work and essay writing. It was her affirming notes and willingness to help me at every step of the process that made all the difference for me. Beyond her thoughtfulness, Katherine made sure that I was on top of deadlines and that I was giving each part of my application enough time. She has an amazing ability to listen deeply to what made me tick, pull out my strengths and articulate my story in the best light. I cannot say it enough in how much I appreciate and love working with Katherine. I won't forget how calm she is, how organized she is (always on time with providing updates) and how she always knows what to say. I would not be in the position I am today without her. Trust all the 5 star reviews, Katherine the best!

I looked at four consulting firms and chose Inspira Advantage for several reasons: I had a few friends who had used them (and all got into MD programs), and because my initial conversation with Maddie was very positive. My counselor, Remi, had lots of admissions experience in general and with candidates with a similar profile to myself (having not come from a more traditional academic path). Remi was extremely responsive over email throughout the process, and I always felt supported and clear about my timeline. Even when my first MCAT attempt did not go according to plan and we needed to change the timeline, she was able to draw up a new calendar and I did not feel rushed or behind the ball. Heidi was instrumental in making me feel prepared through her personal statement and essay edits (which she turned around very quickly), mock interviews, and general advice on school selection. While med school admissions consulting firms are very expensive, I feel like I got a great value working with Inspira Advantage and Remi!

I did a 1:1 tutoring program with Abhishek through Inspira Advantage and feel it was instrumental to my score improvement. He took an advisory role in my progress, checking my study plans and guiding me through my progress. Abhishek taught the content, strategies, and general preparation needed to do well on the MCAT and helped me achieve a 17 point improvement from first practice test to actual score. I was above my target score in the end, and I feel that Abhishek's teaching is the reason why I could get there. Highly recommend!

I sometimes feel intimidated when I see other reviews for others that are scoring 515+ on the MCAT. I hope to score 515+ on my retake in a few weeks, but I am very happy with the score that I received. I am not a brilliant student, nor am I naturally gifted when it comes to standardized tests, I just worked as hard as I could with the Inspira Advantage tutoring program. I want to be clear, without Inspira, and specifically Bretton, there is NO WAY that I would have scored as well as I did. I first scored a 488 on a practice test in December with a different MCAT test prep company. I used that particular tutoring program consistently from October-December, and I was crushed that I could only score a 488. At that point, I decided that I needed to get serious, and I started Inspira's 1:1 MCAT tutoring. I was skeptical that using Inspira's 1:1 tutoring could really help since I had been working so hard with the other MCAT program. I was completely wrong. Inspira's tutors are simply the best that you can get. Inspira's tutors are clearly better than the competition. The personalized study plan and 24*7 support is phenomenal and certainly worth the money spent. However, I think the real difference was the tutoring program led by Bretton. I can't say enough good things about the actual sessions. When I was taking the sessions, I had confidence knowing that who I was working with actually scored in the 99th percentile. Bretton was fun, charismatic, and most importantly, he was genuine in wanting to help me score as high as possible. He really took the time to make sure that I understood the material. He taught the concepts in such a way that I could actually recall specific moments while I was taking the MCAT. Bretton not only taught me the appropriate content, but also the strategy behind the questions---I think this is the real difference between high scores and mediocre scores. He taught me different ways to approach questions, and made sure I understood WHY I worked problems the way that I did. Knowing content will only take you so far with the MCAT. After completing the program and actually taking the test, I'm convinced that anyone can score above a 515 with the right preparation. In closing, I want to thank Bretton and the Inspira Advantage team for helping me to score as well as I did. This sounds dramatic, and maybe it is, but his program really helped me get closer to my dreams. For 3 long months, I had serious doubts about whether I could make it in medical school. However, with Bretton's help and Inspira Advantage, I can not only say that I WILL go to med school, but I also have a good chance of going to legitimate top med school. Thank you Bretton!

As an applicant from an over-represented background, without a perfect GPA, and a decent MCAT score, I knew that to get into the top MD programs I had to have a razor-sharp story. In working with a consultant, I was looking for help with time/project management, guidance on the details and differentiation between programs (i.e. what each school cared about), and help putting a creative twist to my application. Faisal nailed all three. During our work together, Ahmed took the time to delve deep and understand me as a person, which allowed both of us to speak a common vernacular and pull from a common set of experiences to highlight in my essays and my interviews. As a proofreader, he challenged me to be provocative, precise, and answer the question(s) in my personal voice. He was available when I needed him, and made each step of the process as clear as possible. Ultimately, I think Ahmed is different because he genuinely cares about his clients, and based on the other testimonials I read, this translates to strong results. I will be recommending Ahmed to my friends and colleagues.

The whole process of applying to medical school is exhausting. I needed a mentor who cared about my applications just like me. I found my mentor, Neil, who helped me gain more confidence and excel at MMI interviews. Great material and an awesome mentor!
