Amazing experience!

Becca and her team were absolutely amazing when it came to providing affordable and flexible support for my medical school applications. As someone who did not know how medical school secondaries and interviews worked, I was very thankful for the wide variety of support and guidance that was available from working with different MotivateMD team members. I loved that I could also choose who to work with, especially if I had already worked with a certain member before. Becca herself was always super responsive and supportive whenever I wanted to ask about anything regarding my plan via text. I would not be where I am today without Becca and the team members who guided me. Thank you to them!

4th Cycle, NonTraditional Applicant, Finally Going to Medical School

I was a nontraditional applicant on my 4th cycle when I finally sought outside help with my application. MotivateMD was the best decision I could have made, and I only wish I had decided sooner. They helped me identify my strengths and build a truly solid application, from my personal statement to the AMCAS activities section.
I went into the cycle feeling significantly more confident, and at the time of writing this I have received multiple acceptances, including my top choices. I cannot recommend them enough.

The experience with Motivate MD was terrific

The experience with Motivate MD was terrific. The editors (I worked with Emily) are great. Always available through email, review turnout time was great, and they helped me with doubts other than the essays!

Constant contact with my editor and Becca kept me active and helped me avoid procrastination.

Excellent service at a very affordable price!

Just What I Needed

I looked around for a while to find the right service at a an affordable price and this was it. They were very responsive in helping me get the help I needed. They have students from so many different schools which allowed me to choose someone at one of my top schools. She was both very kind and critical, eventually helping me get an acceptance to that school. If I didn't like a particular editor, I could send them back for someone else. All in all, they answered every question, concern, and need I had during the entire process. If I need help when applying for residency, I would definitely use them again.

I Highly Recommend MotivateMD

Writing is not my strong suit, but the MotivateMD team's feedback and guidance allowed me to flush out what I really wanted to say in a way that resonated with ADCOMS and helped me obtain an interview invite (all while keeping under that pesky character-count limit)! Beyond their practical help, the team is very professional, kind, and simply pleasant to work with. I highly recommend the MotivateMD team!

Greatest Investment I've Made

MotivateMD played a crucial role in ensuring my success during the recent application cycle. I opted for their comprehensive editing package, which included mock interviews. The editing service not only impressed me with its speed, but more importantly, with its invaluable assistance. As an applicant with average statistics and above-average experiences, the quality of my writing (personal statement, activity descriptions, secondary essays) became a pivotal factor in securing interviews and subsequent acceptances. Keep in mind, that the quality of your experiences shines through in how you articulate them in writing.

Several of my interviewers went out of their way to commend my writing. This was made possible by the EXCEPTIONAL editors at MotivateMD, who helped elevate my essays.

In preparation for my interviews, I completed a mock interview with a MotivateMD interviewer. The medical student interviewer assigned to me dedicated over an hour to conducting a thorough practice session. Because of this, I went into my interviews with confidence.

In hindsight, investing in the MotivateMD services was one of the smartest decisions I’ve made throughout the premed process. I have been accepted to multiple medical schools, including my top choice program!!! Can't wait to start next summer.

I highly recommend MotivateMD to anyone who is applying to medical school.

Great Gift!

I’m so thankful for MotivateMD’s help! My partner who is currently in medical school bought me an editing package as a gift because he really enjoyed using the service when he was going through the application process. They provided me with insightful line-by-line guidance on many of my secondary essays, which I think helped me with getting many interviews and acceptances. The team of editors are awesome! They are kind and knowledgeable with giving constructive feedback. Turnaround time was usually only a couple of days, even with really long secondary applications. The editors definitely helped me condense my wording, while still helping me get my point across and tell my story. Overall, I definitely recommend for yourself or you can gift it for a medical school applicant!

I am SO happy I went with Motivate MD…

I am SO happy I went with Motivate MD for my personal statement. My reviewer, Bridget, provided helpful and extremely detailed feedback. You can tell she really cared about helping me reach a final draft I was happy with. I also really loved how she emphasized that she is making suggestions and nothing is final--I had the final say on what I wanted to change and never felt pressured! Overall, such an amazing experience so far, and I can't wait to read the feedback for my second draft (:

100% Worth It!

I have absolutely loved my experience with MotivateMD and would instantly recommend them to anyone applying for medical school. Not only are their prices very reasonable, but staff and editors are so nice and easy to communicate with. The feedback I received had a very quick turnaround time and was very substantive. My personal statement and activities section would not have been as strong without MotivateMD. I believe it was crucial to my acceptances to a couple of my dream schools!

My personal statement and application was undoubtedly enhanced thanks to the meticulous review done by one of MotivateMD’s experienced editors. I don’t think I would have been able to make my essay as focused and persuasive without their constructive advice!
