a must for essay reviews especially if you're post-undergrad

Got a lot of much needed constructive criticism and helpful feed back and now I think my essay is amazing! Helped me put my thoughts together in a way that flowed and made sense while sounding eloquent. I think this is a must for essay reviews especially if you're post-undergrad.

MotivateMD is the BEST! Thank you🙏

MotivateMD coached my daughter for medical school interviews. As a result, my daughter was accepted by all the three medical schools that interviewed her in the first application cycle.
We cannot be more grateful for MotivateMD, the BEST service you can get in the challenging medical school application process.

MSI editor- Emily

Emily was a great editor for my Work and Activities section of the AMCAS application. She addressed the issues I brought up and made me feel much more confident in my final draft. She was timely an thorough in her comments and edits. I would highly recommend working with her for medical school applications.

I highly recommend Motivate MD to anyone who is applying to medical school. Everyone was extremely kind and accommodating making this stressful time less stressful. I worked with Dr.Emma Fenske who was so supportive and constructive throughout my application process.

They’re amazing

Definitely the best essay editing service I’ve used (and I tried all the expensive ones before this) 10/10 would recommend. The opportunity to request specific reviewers, the depth of the feedback and the customer support is phenomenal.

MotivateMD saved me in my 3rd application cycle!

I can't stress how helpful the editors at MotivateMD were throughout the whole process. They were always very quick to respond and super polite. More importantly, their feedback was thorough, specific and really helped elevate my essays. I was a reapplicant who previously struggled with framing my narrative in my personal statement/secondaries in an impactful way, but thanks to the help I got with my essays I received multiple interviews and acceptances this cycle! (1 interview in 2 cycles -> 9 interviews this cycle!!) I really am so thankful for each and every single one of the editors who gave me advice on my essays. I know med school essay editing can be a little pricey, but with MotivateMD you're getting your money's worth. If you're looking for a review service with tremendous value, this is it.

Unbelievably pleased

Unbelievably pleased with the service I received from MotivateMD. They were quick to respond to any questions I had, and were super helpful in helping me navigate all of the applications and essays I had, as well as helping me to prepare for interviews.

Would definitely recommend anyone considering applying to medical school to use MotivateMD when writing their personal statement and secondaries and when prepping for interviews!

Editing to add: I worked with Akosua, and she was amazing!

Excellent Company

In a panic over my personal statement, I looked for help on google. There's a zillion companies that will help you with your applications, but how do you know if they are any good? A reddit poster recommended Motivated MD, saying they exceeded their expectations. I feel the same. Excellent service. Very kind people. They have the skills to do what they say they will do. Five star experience all around.

Very prompt revert for editing

Very prompt revert for editing, advising, or issuing guidance. Excellent, motivated editors give time to clarify any issues and help us to give guidance for our brainstorming. In short, I will advise (rather insist) my brother after two years to hire their help- I don't think there is better value for money than them.

Recommended, Service is as Advertised.

I was recommended here by a current medical student. After using their service, I can comfortably recommend MotivateMD for draft reviews. Use AI to help you with initial drafts and use current medical students/physicians to personalize primaries and secondaries. Outstanding service, would use again. Low stat applicant with acceptances and waitlists, MD and DO.

No regrets!

I cannot recommend Motivate MD enough. I believe they are a huge part of my success this cycle! As a first generation college student, I knew I could only afford to apply once to medical school. Thanks to Motivate MD, I was able to get in on my first try! They helped me through my primary, secondaries, interviews and update letters. The team is amazing and it is very affordable!
