After interviewing multiple med school consultants and a nightmare experience with one consultant, I luckily found Raj through Inspira Advantage. He has truly been a critical and phenomenal resource for me throughout the MD application process. During our first introductory call, Raj immediately identified my application strengths and weaknesses and provided thorough feedback on how I could improve. He is comprehensive and timely in his draft reviews, and has a unique ability to help craft your story into something unique and spectacular. Raj helped me prep and excel in my interviews and I always felt like a top priority for him. Mark played an integral role in helping me get into multiple top schools with scholarships/fellowships. His services were the best investment I could've made and I would enthusiastically recommended him for all those going through the application process!

I consulted with a multitude of consultants from top med school consulting programs. They sounded the same and worked with their clients to submit cookie cutter applications based on what they thought med schools desired. Inspira Advanage was the first consulting group that I found that helped me stand out. My counselor compelled me to dig deep to understand myself better and helped me craft a narrative and profile that was authentic, captivating, and cohesive - even in the two hours I had with her. I feel like I understand my trajectory and academic path so much more after working with her. The team at Inspira knows how to uncover the underlying story.

I had already been working with an MCAT tutor through my personal network before meeting with Bretton, and decided to make a switch after making very little improvement and receiving a less than desirable first score. I can say quite positively that I would not have received the 521 without Bretton. All MCAT tutors know the material and can explain it, but that is not what made the difference for me. Bretton was able to pin-point my weaknesses in chemistry and physics almost immediately, and was able to explain critical concepts in a palatable way. Most importantly, he did not allow me to stay in my comfort zone. He did not just explain a concept and ensure that I could repeat it back to him, but insisted that I be able to explain the reasons why it made sense. Even though it was sometimes painful, he made sure I learned these critical concepts forward and backward. I would (and have) recommend Bretton to anyone who needs an extra push and personal attention. I am extremely grateful for Bretton's help and could not speak highly enough of his talent as a tutor.

Inspira assigned me Fatuma to help with my medical school applications. She was exceptionally professional and helped me a lot to improve my application. She always communicated the changes in a very clear and effective manner. This made editing and submitting essays really easy. She also replied rather quickly to all my emails, and it was always constructive talking to her. Would definitely recommend her.

I signed up for the Primaries program with Inspira Advantage and was almost immediately matched with Sheena. We had a great working relationship and she was great about working with me off the bat to identify how we could best work together. I really hadn't done my homework on where I wanted to go and why, but Sheena helped me figure it out. Her biggest help was with ideating my personal statement topics and making sure they were able to convey what I wanted to convey. Between personal statement help and creating a balanced school list, I wouldn't have ended up as successful as I was without Sheena. I'd HIGHLY recommend Sheena to anyone considering Inspira Advantage.

I got a scholarship at my dream med school (Duke), which was something I never thought was possible. What's more is that Inspira's team told me about scholarships that I had no idea even existed. The dedication and love they have for their applicants is heartening. I've already recommended Inspira to over 20 friends applying to med school and will continue to do so in the future.

I was introduced to Rohan through two friends who had had recent success with their med school admissions process. Prior to signing on with Rohan I didn't understand the cost-benefit relationship of his services and didn't think I needed that sort of help. I was dead wrong. Rohan's comprehensive admissions program enables candidates to discover their strengths and areas of improvements and helps guide them through the process. Rohan's efforts were tremendous. He was extremely reliable, professional, dependable, and hardworking. I always received a thorough response from him within 24 hours of notification (usually within 4-5 hours) and knew that I could always count on his coaching advice. Not only was he patient with my hectic schedule, but he also provided insightful guidance throughout the stressful med school application process. He is one of the main reasons I'm attending a top med school.

Tom, who was my MCAT tutor for my 40 hour program with Inspira Advantage, was incredibly fast at understanding where my thinking was lacking and how I could apply tricks to overcome my shortfalls. By teaching me some tips and tricks for both the biochem and CARS, I was able to increase my score from a 503 to 519 in less than 2 months. If you want a quick increase Inspira's 1:1 private tutoring is amazing, they can help you set up your study schedule so you are not wasting your time on questions that rarely appear on the actual test. The wealth of knowledge that Tom and the rest of his team have is incredibly valuable and they give you the confidence to perform very well on the test day. I was able to get into both five top MD programs thanks to Tom's help. Also, Tom does not baby his students so you will be held accountable while getting tons of constructive feedback and he will know if you don't complete your homework between sessions. This helped me really get the most of the 40 hours we had together, HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

My counselor really made me unearth the answer to "why do you want to become a doctor?" Thanks to her, I could craft a stellar personal statement and essays! That was probably the most helpful part of the engagement for me. And it was huge because so many of my peers struggled with that.

Deciding to work with Alex and the Inspira team was the best decision I could have made regarding the application process. I come from a non-medical family background and do not have many in my close network that are knowledgeable about MD programs or even the graduate school application process in general. I was truly flying blind. Alex took me under his wing and provided me with brainstorming materials and constructive feedback that forced me to be incredibly introspective. Brainstorming with Alex was almost cathartic. Because he was so interested in learning about me, Alex was able to point out strengths and unique qualities that I didn't recognize in myself. The persona brainstorming sessions and resources allowed me to brand myself as a top MD candidate. I also never waited longer than a few days to get feedback and edits from Alex on my essays, resume, interview prep questions, etc. He was prompt, professional, and clearly cared about my success. My investment in Inspira Advantage resulted in an acceptance at seveal amazing med programs! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I was fortunate enough to have a mentor like Deanna to help me with my applications and interview. With her help and advice, I will be starting medical school this fall. Would definitely recommend Inspira to others.

I initially was not going to use an admissions consultant given the high cost but decided that it'd be worth the investment if I was going to go all in on the med school admissions process. I met with many consultants from different firms but went with Tara because she instantly put me at ease and was really warm and easy to talk to, and never made me feel like I wasn't good enough for the schools I was targeting. We worked together starting April and she did so much more than just help me with my applications. I was also navigating a lot of work for my undergrad thesis, had a challenging course load, and had a few things going on my personal life. Beyond that, we spent a solid few months just getting to know everything about my background and what my story would be, while staying truly authentic and never trying to be someone I wasn't. She helped me with every stage of the application and was always so responsive, patient, and kind, especially through the several breakdowns I had along the way! She made sure I was super prepped for all the interviews, and after receiving the decisions, helped me navigate waitlists and negotiating scholarships. I ultimately was admitted into four MD programs out of the 20 schools I applied to. Tara was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process and really encouraged me to bring my true self to the applications. I'm happy with the results and I would recommend her to anyone!

I decided to go with Inspira Advantage after interviewing at least five potential admissions consultants. Inspira Advantage stood out for two important reasons. First, Sarah and the Inspira team were very helpful. They worked with me to find the support package that worked best for my needs. Second, and most importantly, I was so impressed with the consultant I was matched with, Alex. From the beginning, I could tell that he was doing this for the right reasons. He wanted the best for me, and was willing to put in the work and the brutal honesty to help me get there. To start, Alex laid out a clear and rigorous plan that helped me stay on track. Throughout the process, he pushed me to think deeply and tell my story in a rich and compelling way. He provided great guidance and feedback, but ensured that everything I wrote was my own. Alex was not only insightful with his feedback, but incredibly quick and responsive. He made sure to never be a bottleneck in the process even though we were moving quickly. I'd highly recommend working with Alex and Inspira if you're serious about your applications. Thanks in part to Alex's guidance, I now have my choice between three MD programs that I was accepted to.

I chose Inspira Advantage as my MCAT tutoring program and worked with Maxwell. He was invaluable in helping me prepare for my MCAT exam. He was an incredible teacher throughout the 40 hour program. I went into the program with no background on the MCAT and came out feeling very prepared. He ensured I really understood and was comfortable with the content, while keeping tutoring sessions interesting and fun. Maxwell helped me prioritize the weekly work and was always available via email and text. He continued to serve as a resource in my studies throughout my MCAT prep journey. Maxwell helped me achieve beyond my target score!

I started my Inspira Advantage MCAT tutoring program with Jose in March. I went into the process pretty nervous since I had taken an official exam without studying the right way back in January and received a 497. My goal score was a 515+ going into the tutoring program. I got there on my 1st retake of the official exam! JOSE WAS A ROCKSTAR!!! He taught me the tips and tricks to approach questions and really guided me throughout the process. The tutoring program was very organized and easy to follow. If I were to do it all over again, I would 100% do this program and request Jose specifically. If you're considering signing up for the tutoring program, I would recommend requesting Jose, hands down. Thanks so much Jose - I owe you big time!! You'll be the first email I send after (hopeful) med school acceptances.

Inspira believed in me and supported me throughout the application process. Jennifer helped me develop and improve my AMCAS application in a very detailed and comprehensive manner. I couldn't have asked for more. Definitely worth recommending!

I can't even begin to fathom how much time and stress I have saved because my counselor would point me to specific med school resources she knew I should research based on her knowledge of my background, interests, and accomplishments and her experience of doing this for decades. She knows med school admissions like the back of her hand. Without Natalie's expertise, I imagine I would have been drowning in the blue ocean of online resources, trying to determine the veracity of advice from online forums.

I am starting my dual MD-MPH thanks in large part to Ahmed . I was unsure how competitive I would be for such challenging programs. Ahmed encouraged me and helped me hone my narrative. He was willing to push me to identify the key elements of my stories and to clearly communicate who I am, not just what I have accomplished. He was incredibly responsive, turning around his feedback quickly, and working around my schedule. When it came time for interviews, I did not hesitate to call Ahmed to prepare. He provided me with key feedback and helped me go to into the interviews with confidence. I would absolutely work with Ahmed again.

Inspira is the reason I am in medical school right now. They have helped at every step of my application, from personal statement writing to interview prep. It made the whole process less stressful and helped me get into medical school.

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.
