What I loved about MotivateMD was that…

What I loved about MotivateMD was that they still allowed me to have my own voice in my writing. I also preferred the chance to work with different editors, some who knew different medical school more than others. My secondaries felt very tailored to each school, and was why I feel like I received 11 interviews from all MD school despite having a lower MCAT score. I worked with Natalie, and she was AMAZING! She always made me feel comfortable and hyped me up in times where I was feeling under-confident and overwhelmed. I think medical students have the most up-to-date perspective on what admissions are looking for. I highly recommend MotivateMD!

Encouraging experts, insightful advice!

I had the opportunity to have my personal statement and secondary applications reviewed by people with experience in admissions committees and the admissions process. During mock interviews, medical students gave me advice on how to structure responses intelligently. With Motivate MD's help, I got into an MD program on my first application cycle. I recommend these services to anyone applying to medical school!

Motivate MD is worth it!!

I was a pre-med student with a 499 MCAT and conduct violations. Becca told me that it wasn't the end of the road and we could work through it, she gave me hope. Becca was awesome!! Also, if I had any trouble or confusion on how the program worked, Becca always answered her phone quickly to assist you in any way. Now I have received 3 DO interviews and 2 MD interviews, with two acceptances so far. Motivate MD has an excellent team of doctors who are passionate about helping pre-med students achieve their dreams. Special thanks to Melissa, she was my rock through this entire process!

I am so grateful to have come across Motivate MD! The program is very affordable and all the doctors in the Motivate MD team know exactly what admissions committee love to see from applicants when reading their personal statements and experiences!

Great Resource for Interview Prep

I had three mock interviews with Rachel and felt extremely well-prepared for all of my 15+ interviews. It was comforting knowing I was able to answer any question with confidence and had resources to answer unexpected questions as well. It was also helpful getting constant feedback and preparing for both the virtual and in-person settings. Given the efforts to get to this point, this is a must for anyone who wants to maximize their chances to blow the interview out of the park.

Highly recommend MotivateMD!

I highly recommend MotivateMD and the Ultimate Acceptance Package to anyone applying to medical school. Their editors provide exceptional attention to detail, helping refine personal statements and secondary essays. They push you to reflect deeply and use compelling examples to strengthen your writing. Becca has been incredibly supportive, helpful, and responsive. I received six interview invites, and I believe my writing played a big role in my success.

Highest Recommendation for the MotivateMD team!

I cannot recommend the MotivateMD team enough! I used the Premium review package for my personal statement, and I was incredibly impressed with their responsiveness. They returned my edits quickly, allowing me to stay on track with my application timeline.

What stood out even more was their generosity; since I didn't need to use all three review rounds included in the package, they offered me a complimentary review of my activity descriptions. This thoughtful gesture made me feel valued as a client.

The team genuinely cares about their clients' success, and their feedback was insightful and constructive. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and it was clear they wanted me to succeed and get accepted into medical school. If you're looking for a medical school application review service, this is the one to choose!

Mock Interview

I used the mock interview service to get ready for my upcoming medical school interviews. I was really pleased with the feedback I received and will definitely be using the tips they provided me. There were some mistakes I was making in my responses that I was not aware of. I am very glad my mock interviewer pointed them out so I can improve! I bought the two-interview package and look forward to doing one more!

Easy and effective interview prep!

It was very quick and easy to schedule the mock interview! I was able to tailor it to a specific school and better understand the MMI format. Madihah provided amazing coaching on how to improve my skills, and I feel much more confident entering medical school interivews.

Fast feedback and quality customer service

The three things that made this a great service for me: How fast the feedback comes back, the fact that there is no time limit for submitting new drafts (I had to take a month to write a new draft because I took a break to cram for the MCAT and no one had an issue with it), and how often Becca checks in if I have a question or concern
