My experience is really amazing and so fantastic thanks for to you all the members 💞
Expected quality of interview prep, albeit slightly overpriced for what it's worth. Listed as giving an interview scoring rubric but did not receive one after contacting them. However, the interviewer provided great feedback that was applicable to refine my interview skills for that specific school and others in general, where I ultimately got accepted.

Tara and Riya gave great feedback! They both gave me detailed positive feedback while still offering nice constructive improvements.

Motivate MD was incredibly helpful during my residency application! I used their residency package for ERAS editing and a mock interview. The feedback was detailed and personalized, and even though my interviewer wasn’t from my exact specialty, they tailored the session and advice perfectly. I felt much more confident going into my interviews and I highly recommend!!

Overall, im disappointed. I was expecting significantly more guidance and support. The package was extremely expensive for the product.
I don’t know what I’m doing. When I asked for the personal statement to be reviewed by admissions experienced advisor, it did not happen. I received grammar / sentence restructuring edits; I was expecting much more in depth edits to make my PS brilliant. I’m happy with it I guess, but when I asked my MD friend to critique it, he had much better critiques. For instance, he would suggest adding an experience to support this claim, or how it ties specifically to Md / DO etc, saying this sounded contrived.
I was bemused with the technicality of the package. AAMCOMAS requires primaries to be sent in order to receive secondaries. AMCAS secondaries usually involve writing essays. AACOMAS primaries occasionally required essays. However, these primary essays don’t count in the primary package I purchased, despite it being a primary. I am grateful someone glanced over my ‘secondary’ for 30 seconds.
Overall, I wouldn’t be so disappointed if the package wasn’t so expensive. Cost doesn’t represent equal value.

Everyone at Motivate MD has been so helpful throughout the application process. I was able to have my primary and secondaries reviewed by the team, and also a thorough mock interview. All my reviews were always returned in a timely fashion. I got accepted into one of my top medical school choices. With the huge amount of time and work it takes to complete all parts of the application, the support I received from Motivate MD was totally worth it. I couldn't have done it without them!

I applied last year and got no interview invites. This year, I already have three invites by early October, and the biggest thing that changed was having MotivateMD help me with my essays! So far, their mock interviewers have also been great in helping me feel more confident in my interviewing skills! I would definitely recommend this service to anyone applying!

MotivateMD is the best! I cannot recommend Emerson enough!!!! She was so so helpful throughout all steps of the medical school application process (MD and DO primary application, secondaries, creating school list, personal statement, interview prep, etc). She always provided such thoughtful edits and suggestions for my essays. She had very insightful writing tips and wording suggestions, and a very quick turnaround time. Emerson is so positive and fun to work with, and I truly felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole process! Her encouragement and positivity is a game changer for this very long process :)

MotivateMD has great editors, and in any cases where I have had any issues, their support team has been super helpful! Some editors that have particularly stood out to me have been Felicia and Bryson (Dr. G)!

I was behind on my personal statement, but MotivateMD helped me edit nearly 10 drafts of my personal statement and activity/work sections in just one month. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to submit my primary application within a week of AMCAS opening! I had brainstorming sessions with different coaches, which gave me fresh perspectives and ideas. Their support became even more invaluable when I started receiving secondary applications. I worked with coaches familiar with the schools I was applying to, which helped me write detailed, tailored responses. MotivateMD doesn’t just edit grammar, spelling, or word count. They provide concrete suggestions to make your writing stronger and more compelling. The biggest advantage is working with actual medical students and residents from a range of schools, many with admissions committee experience. They understand the process firsthand and provide guidance that is practical and realistic. They are quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and I truly wouldn’t have made it through the application process without them. Whether you need help with writing, interviews, CASPer, or general advice, MotivateMD is an affordable, high-quality resource I cannot recommend enough!

Thank you for all the help with my essays! I found the advice and grammar correction very useful. I was very happy with how quickly the feedback was given back to me. I thought the editors were knowledgeable on important information to add to my writing to make my essays more attractive. Thanks again!
