Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 64 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their helpfulness, insightful suggestions, and genuine care throughout the application process. The service provided is often described as excellent, with many appreciating the detailed and personalized feedback on essays, personal statements, and mock interviews. Reviewers frequently highlight the quick response times and efficient turnaround for feedback, making the user experience smooth and stress-free. However, some people were dissatisfied with the depth of feedback, expecting more in-depth edits beyond grammar corrections, and felt a lack of guidance from admissions-experienced advisors. A few other people also felt that follow-up and continued support, especially for critical stages like SOAP, could be improved, and noted occasional slower feedback returns from some reviewers.

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!

I have never in my life written a personal statement but i can tell that the resident who reviewed my paper is well versed with this topic and I would never hesitate to recommend them for anyone

This company is fantastic

This company is fantastic! I was so lost and didn’t know how to start with my ERAS application. I was so overwhelmed. MotivateMD really helped me to find the courage and motivation to start the application. I started with my personal statement and went from a blank word sheet to three pages After the first session! Everyone was very, very helpful; MotivateMD helped me with every single detail of my ERAS application and Interview prep. I just received an email saying that I have matched!, and MotivateMD was a crucial part of this journey. Special thanks to Anuj Patel, Emma Fenske, Michael LoBasso, and Taylor Carter; you were all great and made this process so much easier. Thank you so much.

Thank you Jackie!

Motivate MD service is incredible at helping students prepare their medical school primary and secondary applications, as well as letters of interest or intent. Of the available editors, Jackie was by far the best. Not only did she help with the primaries and secondaries to every medical school in my application, but she also went ahead and helped me with submitting Letters of Interest to every one of them as well. She gave advice from her own personal experiences and would even review a single individual primary or secondary application and letter of interest 3 to 4 times if necessary. She even went ahead and gave words of encouragement/motivation to ensure that I never once doubted my chances of getting in. She never once attempted to price gouge or try to drain our wallet either. If she felt that further edits were unnecessary, she would openly say it. Whenever the application/letter of interest pertained to the medical school that she is attending, she would give specific information regarding the school, and even help with getting the contact information for the admissions committee. Throughout the entirety of my application process, Jackie’s help was phenomenal and even exceeded my expectations. She is very much supportive and has a genuine care for the students that she helps. She is a kind soul. If you are a medical student who is looking for help with your medical school application, or for somebody who is willing to go through a single application multiple times with absolute patience, then Motivate MD is the best service and Jackie is absolutely the best editor to go with!

Excellent personal statement feedback

I worked with Sheena on my personal statement and it was an incredibly helpful experience. She took a lot of time to give me feedback and with the price point, I am super impressed with the service!

Good Experience, Great Customer Service!

I really enjoyed my time with Motivate MD, they are really fast and quick with responses. I did not use my entire package and they refunded me what was left over! Not a lot of companies are fair today, great to see people still take care of their customers

use this to kickstart your PS if you're scared of it

I used Motivate MD for my personal statement. Everyone was so helpful throughout the entire process. I was totally frozen for six months (!) until I had my brainstorming session with Alexis. I went from overwhelmed, to excited that I finally had a plan, to very proud of what I'd accomplished. I had several outside readers tell me my final product was one of the best med school personal statements they'd read. I highly recommend Alexis for your brainstorming/editing sessions! Worth the price - especially if like me you really needed help with choosing the right content to start with.

This is an AMAZING company

This is an amazing company. I am very impressed. The interview allowed me to become more comfortable with my real interviews. They cater it to your needs with the specific school you want to focus on and record everything so you can go back and look at your body language and critique your responses. I bought the two interview package and was only able to complete one of the interviews before all my real ones started. I reached out to them for a partial refund and in less than 30 minutes I was refunded for that interview I never got. This company is no joke amazing. I will recommend this company to anyone who needs interview practice:)

The MotivateMD was great to work with

The MotivateMD was great to work with. They made excellent suggestions for my essays, even though I already thought I was a great writer. The team was very responsive during the hectic application period, and I commend them for that. I would definitely use them again.

I had a great experience with the team

I had a great experience with their premium ultimate acceptance package. I worked with 3 different editors on my primary application, who gave AMAZING timely feedback on everything from structure of the essay, to its topic, word choice, grammar, etc. As a result, I ended up with the best essay I have ever written. The 72 hours guaranteed turn around time also came in handy when the secondaries rolled around.

I ended up with 2 acceptances into my top choice medical schools by mid January and I credit much of my success to working with the Motivate MD team! Thank you guys! Amazing value for the price!

Amazing Interview Prep

I used Motivate MD for mock interviews and highly recommend their services! I went into my medical school interviews feeling confident and prepared. Their mentors took extra time and care to make sure I could handle all types of questions, including ethical scenarios. Cannot recommend this company enough!

Apply? Choose Motivate MD.

Becca was very responsive and comforting. Applying to medical school is one of the most stressful moments in a pre-medical student's life, and working with Motivate MD simplifies the process. I highly recommend for any student who is applying to check them out.

Responsive, affordable, but above all helpful!

I was worried about getting my application done in time, and Motivate MD was very responsive, accessible, and timely. It was so helpful being able to talk to Becca about the services I might need, and my editor Harry was very timely in his responses. I also appreciated the flexibility of Motivate MD. They provide help tailored to exactly what you need instead of roping you into an excessive (and overly expensive!) package. I cannot thank Motivate MD enough for their help!
