I am thrilled to express my deepest gratitude for Dr. Jotwani who played a pivotal role in my admission to Indiana University School of Medicine.
From our very first interaction, it was evident that my consultant possessed a remarkable understanding of the intricacies of the med school admissions process. He took out time to understand me, my strengths and what I bring to the table and instilled in me a newfound confidence throughout the entire process.
What truly sets Dr. Jotwani apart was his unwavering commitment to my success. I reached out to him very late for the application - but he was always available and very prompt in going through numerous drafts of my application. He had a meticulous eye for detail and he truly helped me bring out my voice in the best possible way.
He also helped me through the interview process and his feedback on the mock MMIs was extremely useful on the final day and helped me put in my best effort forward.
Thank you Dr. Jotwani for all your help! Eternally grateful - really couldnt have done it without you!

The first time that I took the 12 hour MCAT tutoring program with Inspira Advantage, I made significant progress during the program but was unable to find the time to study along with my tutoring sessions (you have to put in work as well). I took the 24 hour Inspira MCAT tutoring program again roughly a year later and saw even greater benefit from the program given a starting knowledge base. I found there to be great benefit to the 1:1 program (particularly with my instructor, Joe) to pick up small tips and tricks that added small bumps to my score (accumulating 2-3 points here and there adds up). Joe was helpful during the tutoring sessions, outside of sessions, and even after the program concluded. The quality of Inspira's tutoring was instrumental to helping me achieve my goal MCAT score.

I am glad that I did my interview preparations with Inspira! My mentor, Ramin, was fully prepared in all his sessions and had clear targets for me to achieve until the next session. He encouraged me a lot and gave me great pointers to improve.

Riley was incredibly helpful in improving my score by 19 points (500 --> 519). He pinpointed my weaknesses in both organic chemistry and cars, even though I had really only flagged cars as a concern. In addition to teaching me strategy and diving deeper into questions I was answering incorrectly, Riley was just a calming presence with the perfect balance of pushing me to be better and serving as a motivational coach. After taking the MCAT a couple of times with no significant improvement in my score, I was thrilled when Riley's coaching had a direct and quick impact on my studying tactics and score on test day.

Kali and the rest of the Inspira team were a joy to work with and I can not imagine going through the med school application process without them. Kali's assistance was crucial in making sure that I submitted the best possible application and helped me find the right tutors to increase my MCAT score. Her honesty, organizational prowess, and experience within the field were what helped me get into my target schools and set clear goals for myself. I will not hesitate to recommend their services to anybody that is going through the med school application process as I know she is the best available consultant on the market.

I was so lucky to be able to work with Dr. Tardino. I had a difficult timeline for my applications and she worked with me to make sure we could achieve what I needed to in a short window. When reviewing my personal statement and essays, Dr. Tardino was amazing at asking the right questions and prompting me in different ways to think about how to further flesh out my thoughts or to get to the heart of what I was trying to communicate. She never tried to change my voice or vision, but rather to help me present it in a more effective way. She showed so much kindness, compassion, and support along the way. I really felt like she was invested in my success and not just in the application process. Thank you, Dr. Tardino!

After about 5 years away from school and looking for a career shift, I chose to take the Inspira Advantage 60 hour MCAT tutoring program in preparation for the MCAT. After graduating from school in 2017 I took the MCAT as a baseline with the anticipation that I may want to go to med school in the future: I scored a 508. For the next five years I spent zero time thinking about the MCAT, although the lab I did work at is fairly quant heavy. That should give a fair amount of background on where I stood going into the Inspira program. I think this was the right choice for me.
The tutoring itself was conducted in a manner that made it comprehensible for anyone with even a minimal background in the subject matter. The structure of the tutoring program, which is tailored to where you stand, is such that it builds on itself week by week and homework is meant to introduce concepts that would be expounded upon in the next class. I found the program to be critical to my performance on the exam in such that all concepts for answering questions, strategies, and problem type were discussed at nearly all levels of difficulty in class. My personalized program followed a basic outline: present a concept, work through an easy version of the problem as a class, work on a harder version alone, mix in that concept with others in a problem set. I found this manner of learning to be helpful.
As for the homework/workload, it is paced at a fair clip but not breakneck speed. I spent about 10 hours a week on homework and performed one 4 hour practice test every 2-4 weeks. The clearly set out study plan, which was again, tailored for me, helped keep me on track and direct my studying. I found this program to be most useful in that it set foundations and built upon concepts learned earlier in the program.
Finally, my tutor, Bretton, was phenomenal for a variety of reasons. Principally, his presentation of concepts was articulate and easily understandable. Jeff was always available to help after the tutoring session or through email. Many times I emailed Bretton with a problem or concept I was struggling on and would have a video back from him talking through the problem within 24 hours. I would recommend him to anyone.
I ended up taking the exam once and scored a 522. I took this improvement from a 508 years ago in large part to be due to the instruction and availability of Bretton.

As a first-generation college graduate, the med school admissions process was daunting, and I was skeptical about working with a consultant. I talked to several consultants who tried to push me to apply to "safety" schools that I wasn't interested in or tried to push me to pay for their all-inclusive packages. Katherine was the only person who not only gave me critical feedback and opinions, but also, trusted my vision.
I worked with Katherine on an hourly basis on 15 secondary essays and interview prep. She was efficient and always provided clear and thoughtful feedback. My application included many personal experiences, and I always felt that she cared for the story I was trying to tell. The med school admissions process requires deep reflection, and it was important to me that the people reading my stories honored them.
Now, I'm so excited to attend a top MD program (especially after a highly competitive application cycle) and can't thank Katherine enough for her support. I highly recommend her, especially if you come from a similar background.

Working with Chiamaka was the best decision I made. I had chatted with a few other consultants, but felt the most at ease with Inspira after our intro call. They seemed genuinely excited about working with me, and I really appreciated the enrollment manager's energy and encouragement. Since I was only planning to apply to five programs, Inspira was very flexible with pricing and we worked on an hourly basis for my top school's applications. I was able to leverage the insights to apply for my backup program. Chiamaka's detailed feedback and thoughtful suggestions helped me to highlight the most important parts of my story in the essays. Chiamaka is extremely knowledgeable about the process and working with her made me feel very confident about my applications when the time came to hit submit. We also worked together on interview prep, which was huge because I had not been thinking about that part of the process at all. I was admitted to one MD program I applied to with her. After our allotted hours were used, Chiamaka was more than willing to respond to my calls and emails as I worked to make my final decision. She is an absolute rockstar, and it was a pleasure working with her.

I had a great experience with Costner, who helped me get admitted to an MD program!
Costner provided highly valuable support throughout the entire med school application process.
In the beginning, he invested his time upfront to make sure he understood my background and personal history. This enabled him to help me unpack my story, and craft the narrative around my application docs such as personal statements, essays, activities list, AAMCAS, etc.
As part of the process, he provided strategic advice around recommender selection, and the key 'selling points' he thought I needed to highlight as part of my application.
He was also incredibly helpful in terms of helping me prepare for my interview. I walked away from our mock interview session with much more clarity on what and how I should try to communicate in response to potential interview questions.
Overall Costner's help went a long way in making me feel supported throughout the application process. I'd highly recommend his services.

Andrew is, hands down, THE BEST. I purchased start-to-finish packages and have worked with Andrew for almost ten months. I recall we spent hours brainstorming and talking through every personal statement idea I had. His feedback on my personal statement was always very thorough, on-point, and helpful. He also offered to hop on a call to discuss those personal statement comments to ensure I was on the same page. Andrew was super responsive - I was never stressed about meeting deadlines because we'd finish all the essays and application questions well ahead. She also offered tremendous help to prepare me for all different kinds of interviews. We did at least two mock interviews for each interview format/type, and each session lasted at least an hour.
I couldn't have done it without Andrew. I was not super confident about my candidacy, given that my MCAT and clinical shadowing experience are below average in a lot of school's admitted student profile. Yet, Andrew has been a huge supporter for me in this process. He is knowledgeable about all the programs and provides me with insight on what stories to tell (it's super strategic!). I really wouldn't have imagined getting invited to interviews at six schools I applied to, receiving a full-ride scholarship from one of the top programs, and getting admitted to my dream school (with scholarship).
I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who's thinking to work with a med school admissions consultant in this process! I can't get enough of saying how fabulous he is!!

I got into my two top schools and could not have done it without Arya's guidance. I was very confused at the start of the process but she was super organised and guided me meticulously through every step of the process right from choosing your recommenders to interview prep. The brainstorming exercises she gave me really made me think and present a well rounded and genuine story. Also the fact that Inspira has a personalized story development approach was another big plus! She was also very efficient with time and got back to me the next day in most cases. Highly recommend!

Dr. Jotwani was always focused on what was best for me. In our first couple of meetings, we began by exploring why I wanted to go to medical school before even getting to the where or how. With his guidance, I ultimately decided that applying to 30 schools was a better fit for my circumstances. His integrity made it easy to trust him, a trust that made the rest of the application process so much more comfortable because of its inherently personal nature. Dr. Jotwani is also why I found my authentic voice during the application writing process itself. He was uncanny at helping me identify, highlight, and expand on the pieces of my journey and ambitions that are core to who I am. In our brainstorming sessions she listened intently and asked incisive questions that helped me uncover insights about myself that I had never considered. In the writing phase, he had an instinctive feel for which pieces of my writing were sincere and which were banal, and never hesitated to push me to promote the former and cull the latter to the tune of almost 40 drafts of my applications. From the macro broad themes of my application to single word choices in an activities list, he was a patient partner, never letting me compromise on sharing the most sincere version of myself. Even if I had not gotten into school, I was proud of the journey because I knew that we had left it all on the table. Fortunately, in large part because of his steadfast support, I was accepted into Duke University School of Medicine, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Brown University Alpert Medical School.

I came to Carmen without a clear understanding of the application process and a jumble of ideas and thoughts on what I wanted to say in my personal statement and why I wanted to become a doctor. She helped organize my thoughts, which not only helped my application but also helped me look inwards and recognize what my goals / capabilities are in my career. She has a great personality (eternal optimist) and makes you feel accepted and supported throughout the process. I felt like she was in the trenches with me and emotionally invested in my future.
It was a great working with her. Her contributions added a lot of value and I think the value of the service was well-worth the cost. I was admitted to Mercer University School of Medicine.

I had an amazing experience working with Michaela. She was extremely useful in helping craft my story and establishing my goals for becoming a doctor. She provided me with some valuable insights. She has also very responsive throughout the entire process and even made herself available during the holiday period to help me. Michaela is able to ask you the right questions to trigger self-reflection and she is gifted at getting the best out of you. I highly recommend Michaela and I am very satisfied with the investment. In the end, I was admitted to Johns Hopkins with a scholarship and at Northwestern Feiberg. Thank you again for your help Michaela!

Tejal and the rest of the Inspira Advantage team were instrumental in helping me identify my strengths and shape my narrative for med school. When you begin working with Tejal, she takes you through several introspection exercises, which alone are worth the interaction and are tremendously helpful in creating your unique story. Tejal and Co. also bring in-depth knowledge of the individual characteristics of each school to ensure you find the right program for you. Additionally, Inspira deploys a team effort. While Tejal was my main counselor, an entire research team's insights were being shared with me. Tejal also connected me with some of her old clients at the schools I was interested in, providing me an opportunity to learn even more about the various schools. I fully recommend working with Tejal as she helped me better understand myself and, just as importantly, get into med school.

Dr. Sharma did an amazing job helping me perfect all my applications. I got accepted to University of Florida College of Medicine, Florida State University College of Medicine, and University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and I have Dr. Sharma to thank for it. She guided me throughout the entire process. She helped me pick a from brainstorming my initial thoughts to interview prep. She helped me refine my application documents and focus each of my applications on what would work best at each school. Her deep knowledge of each program, and the depth of expertise at Inspira as a whole, allowed me to expertly tailor each of my applications in ways I never could have by myself. I cannot recommend Dr. Shama and the whole Inspira team enough.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate that I got to collaborate with Dr. White as my admissions consultant. Her expertise in this field is truly exceptional, and I can confidently say that my achievement wouldn't have been possible without her guidance. She has an outstanding work ethic and consistently went above and beyond what I expected of her, in terms of both time and effort. I'm immensely grateful that I trusted my instincts and selected her because not only did I get accepted but I received a scholarship as well at UVA School of Medicine.
Dr. White is a true expert at this. She knows exactly what should and shouldn't go into your application to make it stand out. She is sharp and crisp and knows how to cut the fluff. Not only did she help make my application so much more cohesive but she was there to support and guide me through my extended waiting period even after I had submitted my application. During moments when I felt discouraged, she helped ease my nerves. Just knowing that I had her on my side on my journey made me feel so reassured.
Her support was so much more than just transactional, she really wanted me to succeed and she put in extra effort to that end. If you have the opportunity to work with her on your applications, consider yourself extremely fortunate.

I was an applicant to med schools recently. Among the various consultants available, I chose Inspira Advantage and was paired with Jessica. I am extremely happy with this choice because she responds promptly and has a very organized approach to structuring my documents including TMDSAS, personal statement, secondaries, etc. She meticulously reviewed my life and work experiences and provided tailored advice for the schools I wanted to apply to. She also understood the potential weaknesses in my experiences and helped me address them in the optional information, allowing the admissions team to better understand who I am through my application documents. The essay was completed in just about two weeks, which put my mind at ease for other application matters.
During the interview process, Jessica also shared some interview tips to help me prepare with confidence. I am genuinely thrilled to have successfully applied to 25 schools and gotten accepted at Johns Hopkins among other top schools, and I am very grateful for seeking Jessica's assistance from the beginning.

I purchased 60 hours of MCAT tutoring with Joe Kellum as my instructor. He did a great job teaching the class, keeping me accountable without too much pressure, and making complex concepts easy to digest.
Sure, getting tutoring on Saturday mornings for two months doesn't sound like all that much fun, but this test really requires that you commit. On a few occasions, when I wasn't able to make Saturday work, I scheuled sessions after class during the week. I found that I was totally wiped out by the time I got there - I recommend doing this on weekends!
The program includes a wealth of study resources--more than anyone should really need. If you follow the program, you will improve. Stay loose, trust the experts. You got this!
