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

Not worth it at all

Not worth it at all. Basically a scam. For $120 they added 3 comments, two of which were "good point" and corrected 2 words. EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL

Hello! We are so sorry to hear about this. We don't have any orders under your name so I'm unable to address this issue and ensure you get the help you need.

I want to first make sure you are seeing your full review. Some applicants don't have the correct settings on their Word and miss majority of the edits and comments that were made.

We are always happy to provide a 100% refund. We never want someone to feel this way.

Please text, call, or email me so I can help.

Motivate MD stands out for several…

Motivate MD stands out for several reasons. Their turnaround time for secondary essay editing very fast, and their services are much more affordable than those of many other medical school essay editing services. The quality of their edits is exceptional, ensuring that your essays stand out.

In particular, Megan A has been outstanding in refining my essays. She provided invaluable advice on how to be more specific in my responses, strengthen cohesion between ideas, and adhere to word limits. Thanks to her exemplary editing and the overall support from Motivate MD, I genuinely feel my writing skills have improved, which I believe will benefit me long-term.

Whenever I needed targeted assistance with particular aspects of my essays, the editors not only addressed my concerns but went above and beyond to help me. As a result, I was able to submit high-quality essays within just two weeks of receiving secondary invites from all 15 medical schools to which I applied. I highly recommend Motivate MD for anyone who is considering professional medical school application help.

Thorough and Affordable Interview Prep

When I needed interview prep for an upcoming DO school interview, I was quickly matched with a DO student who tailored a mock interview for me with questions pertaining to the specific school I was interviewing at. This one prep session not only prepared me for my DO school interview, but made me feel confident going into interviews for other medical schools. All of this was offered at a very affordable price point, not even mentioning the other services I received as part of my package.
