I spent a lot of time and effort researching Admissions Consultants and was lucky to find a spot with Inspira Advantage before they were completely booked. As someone with a busy schedule who struggles with procrastination, it was incredibly helpful to have Sarah there to keep me on track and ensure that I put my best self forward. She helped me with dozens of revisions and always made herself available to talk through any of my questions, doubts, and concerns. With Sarah's help, I was able to clearly convey my story and future goals through compelling application documents. I worked with Sarah on 20 schools, which resulted in two MD acceptances. I leveraged what I learned from my experience with Sarah to apply to five other schools, which resulted in one additional acceptance. Sarah was invaluable throughout the application process, and I don't think I would have had the same outcomes without her.

Bretton is one of the best (if not the best) teacher I have ever had. I am so glad I had him as my MCAT tutor! I improved my score by 22 points, and learned a lot in just a few months. He is an extremely engaging tutor - somehow the evening tutoring sessions are fun and not dull. I really liked his tips and pointed feedback; looking back it is crazy to think about how much he taught me in such a short period of time. There are still chemistry and physics tricks Bretton taught me that I remember and the reason why I will not forget them is because he made them so easy to understand and gave me tricks to remember them in the exam (and the future). I also really appreciated how much he cares about his students. He is always available via email, and even long after the tutoring session is over, he still reaches out to ask about my med school plans. I am so glad I decided to opt for tutoring with Bretton - he truly is the best instructor. I have recommended him to a lot of friends in the year below me and all of us only have great things to say about his teaching style. If anyone is thinking about taking the MCAT, I recommend Bretton as an MCAT tutor in a heartbeat!!

This Inspira Advantage MCAT tutoring program is a great way to study for the MCAT, it got me going and allowed me to create a personal study plan based on my needs and requirements. It's a good way to immerse yourself in MCAT study and learn tips and tricks to allow you to test better. I made sure to complete all the homework and even worked on the extra material recommended by my tutor. The resources, books, and practice exams recommended by my tutor were perfect. Saahil is an expert tutor, he has been doing this forever and helped a lot. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to do well on the MCAT.

I had a busy schedule during my MCAT prep and Inspira Advantage provided exactly what I needed to get my desired score on the MCAT. The online tutoring was helpful to learn one-on-one with Michael, who provided excellent shortcuts and advice on how to answer complex questions, and I also utilized all of the practice materials that I had already purchased. Having the ability to take all the practice exams that I had and getting tailored feedback on my responses was extremely helpful from a preparation standpoint and having error logging templates and video resources at my fingertips was extremely helpful. Inspira Advantage gives you the tools to succeed and then its just about logging the hours to get to where you want to be. Simple as that.

I started working with Mo after signing up for 40 hours of tutoring with Inspira Advantage, mostly instigated by the fact that I got a mediocre score the first time I took the MCAT (508). I took the MCAT again, and scored 523 thanks to Mo. He quickly diagnosed my weaknesses, and then provided a clear plan to hit my goal. He focused on the biggest hitting items / content areas and devised a plan that I could manage with a demanding course load. Outside of providing excellent tutoring services during my paid sessions, Mo was always available to respond to emails and provide feedback on practice tests. I never felt like I was "on the clock" if we ran slightly over the time allotment, I didn't feel that he was rushing to end the session. Mo was really a source of positivity and made me feel confident going into the test. Very highly recommend Mo for anyone needing personalized tutoring!!! Just wish I'd started working with him from the beginning.

I didn't think someone else would be as dedicated as myself for my medical school applications. Then, I met Anil, who was the expert assigned by Inspira. He helped me improve my essays, showcase my profile in a unique manner, and even helped improve my profile further by motivating me to take up another internship. When I told him the news of my acceptance to my dream school, he was as thrilled as I was. I really appreciate his efforts and would definitely recommend him to future applicants.

Laura was an incredible tutor. She has been doing this for several years, and you can tell that she has tailored her tutoring and her teaching style based on her experience. During our sessions, Laura made topics fun, by telling funny anecdotes and examples that really help the material stick in your head. She also pushes useful tips, such as keeping an error log and taking the practice tests at a certain cadence, which I think made all of the difference in my study experience. Thirdly, she really goes the extra mile to give every student individual attention, by being very accessible over email in between classes and helping you build your individual study plan based on analyses of your practice tests. Lastly, she brought interesting problem examples to class that we wouldn't have found necessarily in the any standard MCAT curriculum. I found these problems to be very exemplary of the actual problems I encountered on the MCAT and doing them in class helped me solidify the methods to solve them. Can't thank Laura enough for the amazing experience!

Inspira helped me get accepted to four schools with a below-average GPA and a mediocre MCAT score. I still can't believe it!

Ezra is a phenomenal coach and played an invaluable role in my application process. His down-to-earth personality and genuine interest in understanding my pursuit of an MD made the experience both rewarding and introspective. Before I started working with Ezra, I had an idea of why I wanted to become a doctor but no idea how to get there. From the start, Harold took the time to get to know me and asked lots of questions to help me understand what I wanted out of my med school experience. He then was able to use his expertise as a Perelman grad to present paths that would allow me to achieve my long-term goals. From there, the personal statement and secondary application writing came quite easily, and he assisted me in editing and refining my story. Not only was I able to articulate my goals to the schools to which I applied, but Ezra was also there to patiently answer my questions about every aspect of applications. I shared my thoughts and concerns with him openly from our first call until I decided on my list of 25 schools - I always felt comfortable being transparent with him, and he was always quick to respond. Because of Ezra's support, I got into three schools to which I almost did not apply because I felt so underqualified, and received a full scholarship from another. I know I would not have achieved these results without him and feel so grateful to be in this position because of him. I wholeheartedly recommend Ezra to anyone. Thank you, Ezra, for everything!

Being a reapplicant and a nontraditional student, I was quite nervous getting into the med school application process. Thankfully, I had Inspira Advantage and my counselor, Jennifer by my side, guiding me through every step of the way. Opting for their comprehensive package was easily one of the best decisions I made through the entire admissions process. What impressed me the most was her genuine understanding of my unique journey. She was able to make suggestions around where I needed to highlight and where I needed to downplay certain parts of my background and application. She took the time to delve deep into my experiences and challenges, offering tailored solutions and unwavering support. Jennifer's expertise and guidance helped me present my story in a compelling and authentic manner. With his support and the backing of the Inspira Advantage team, I approached the application process with newfound confidence. The outcome? Multiple interview invitations and, ultimately, an acceptance letter. To my fellow reapplicants and nontraditional students, the folks at Inspira Advantage are truly your partners in success.

I began my MCAT studying in November. After my first attempt in January, I got a 502 and I felt like I had hit a plateau. In the past, I've always pushed through this kind of test roadblock, but this time was different. This time I needed help. After some research, I chose Inspira Advantage and was paired with Dave. It's been incredible to work with someone as talented as Dave throughout my MCAT studying process. In addition to being really smart and skilled at the MCAT, Dave also has a great personality. But above all else, I've really appreciated Dave's flexibility and understanding. I always felt like Dave catered his lessons and plans to my strengths and tendencies, which allowed me to succeed in ways I could have never done myself. After 3 months of prep, I was able to push through the plateau and score a 522. It should come as no surprise that I heavily recommend having lessons with Dave, so that he can make the difference for you too!

Maxwell was a great MCAT instructor who made all our Saturday morning tutoring sessions lively (not an easy thing to do) with his passion for helping students improve their MCAT scores and reach their potential. On my first practice test, I was in the low 500s range and by the end Maxwelll helped me raise my score by more than 15 points. His dedication and willingness to answer questions at any time through email or in the tutoring sessions was most helpful. He is more than willing to spend time after sessions to help you understand a problem or explain a topic in more detail. I highly recommend Inspira Advantage.

Selecting Inspira to support and advise me during the med school admissions process was the best decision I made while preparing my applications. My consultant advised me through the seemingly 'never-ending' admissions process and gave me tips that I know made all of the difference in my acceptance to three DO programs. I not only benefited from her extensive admissions experiences and insights, but also enjoyed our conversations which I found lighthearted, yet focused. The consultants at Inspira Advantage do a phenomenal job at viewing your background objectively and giving tough love where it is needed. My consultant was direct and honest about my profile which helped me take a step back and recognize the gaps I needed to improve if I wanted to get into med school. Inspira Advantage is great for individuals who don't take critical feedback personally and are willing to tackle it head on in order to receive admission to his/her school of choice.

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.

About me: Applied to 25 schools > Invited to 11 interviews > 5 Acceptances & 4 Waitlists I was put in touch with Rahul through Sarah, and I could not be happier. Admittedly I was a little late to process of applying to med school (sent in my primaries in the second half of June). Rahul made me feel like I was his #1 priority and helped me get on track. We outlined my goals and the necessary steps needed to achieve them. Rahul knew exactly what each school was looking for and made sure to help me highlight my strengths and story to match each. He has a great aptitude at helping you highlight the most interesting aspects of your background and experiences. This especially showed in my personal statement. Rahul and Inspira Advantage especially shined when it came to interview prep. He helped me thoroughly prepare for each one. 10/10 Recommendation and thank you for making my dreams come true!

While I had been dreaming of going to med school for sometime, I dreaded the prospect of preparing for another standardized test. My tutor, Suhas, eased that dread by presenting MCAT concepts in a way that was intuitive and enjoyable. Suhas was successfully able to frame something I had been dreading for years into one of the highlights of my week. He was extremely friendly, answered my emails promptly, and genuinely cared about my success on this test. Inspira Advantage lived up to the hype for me. Their resources are very helpful no matter where you are in the journey. They provide extensive data and feedack for you to continuously strengthen any weak areas. Prior to this tutoring course, I had minimal MCAT experience. Within two months and two weeks I had an official score of 523. I'm SO glad I chose Inspira!

Lake was the best MCAT tutor I could have asked for. I purchased 40 hours with him and we would meet 2-3 times/week. Though the classes were long, Lake had a way of adding humor to each session to keep me engaged and interested. My friends were taking MCAT tutoring through different companies at the same time I was doing Inspira Advantage, and their tutors asked them to take practice exams multiple times per week. Inspira Advantage and Lake used a different approach, assigning work to do at home in approx 1 hr increments per night, so that learning was a steady process and we didn't get burnt out. Maybe the plan was built this way because it was personalized and that is what I had asked for. Lake taught me different ways to identify and approach different types of questions, as well as overall test taking strategies. I would recommend getting tutoring from Lake to anyone who asked.

If I had to describe Emily in one sentence - she knows how to instantly make you memorable to the med school Admissions Committee. Her exceptional storytelling skills, professionalism, efficiency, and amazing mentorship make her the best consultant. She is undoubtedly the highlight of my med school application process. I am: - A non-traditional background - Low GPA - Waitlisted or previously rejected - An older applicant - An average MCAT score All these things apply to me. Before my free consultation with Inspira Advantage, I spoke with a few other consulting firms. Due to these so-called "red flags" most firms left me dejected and told me to lower my expectations. But my call with Sarah from Inspira Advantage was different - her calm confidence and high EQ left me incredibly impressed. I still remember her follow-up email after this call not only summarised our conversation efficiently but also prompted me to be more confident. Emily was also incredible organized. She helped me with project planning in a way that worked perfectly for me. I got into two Texas medical schools. Don't think twice about working with Inspira Advantage - they're the best firm you can work with, without any doubt! I don't say this lightly, as I have worked with other consultants previously.
