At the beginning of my med school application journey, I spoke with various top admissions consultants. About 5 minutes into my conversation with Inspira Advantage, I knew that he was the one I wanted to work with.
What made Sarah and her team stand out? Instead of focusing on my weaknesses and how my profile needs to improve, they made an effort to learn what drives me, what I want to do, and what makes me who I am. I could tell that Inspira was going to be a true partner throughout the process.
My coach, Marshall is extremely knowledgeable of the med school admissions process. His approach is very detailed and truly helped me identify my strengths so that I could shine in my application. Although his process was structured, Marshall was flexible with his approach. He was willing to change how we work together and craft my application so that I was comfortable enough to put my full self into the application. He helped me identify my goals, strengths, and how my prior professional and personal experiences connect with how I can contribute to each of the 20 MD programs I applied to.
He went above and beyond preparing me to write my AMCAS application, personal statements, and secondary essays, even helping me get in touch with alumni at my target schools. I had multiple personal statement/essay iterations, and he provided thorough feedback to each. Marshall helped me identify my differentiating factors and bring light to stories that showed my strengths. He helped me see how experiences that I initially thought were unimportant or irrelevant actually were vital in sharing my story and what I could add to the med school community.
With Marshall's help, I was able to show more about my candidacy with each component -- the essays, recommendations, short answers, and the interview. He helped me connect that thread throughout my application so that the admissions committee would not be left with questions.
I am an extremely anxious person, so although Marshall helped me craft the best application I could have submitted, I was still nervous that I wasn't going to get interview invites or be admitted. Court helped me manage my anxiety and trust the process - his process. He helped me believe in myself and feel like the schools I applied to were actually in reach. Note, he wasn't just telling me what I wanted to hear. He was candid in where my application could be stronger, but instead of focusing on my weaknesses, he helped me bolster my strengths in other areas of the application.
I was accepted into 3 MD programs. Marshall helped me achieve this. 10/10 would recommend!
