Great experience!

A really great affordable option for application editing, advising, and interview prep. Everyone I worked with at MotivateMD was very responsive and seemed to genuinely care about my success in the med school application process. Their personal statement editing was very thorough and beyond helpful, and the interview preparation was outstanding!

Awesome service for PS editing

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!

Working with the team of editors at…

Working with the team of editors at MotivateMD was great! The process was very easy to start, I just emailed the team and provided them with which editors I preferred based on the school I was applying to, and they provided edits directly on my word documents with track changes, which was super helpful. The turnaround time was great for my essays. The editors helped me a lot with fitting what I wanted to say into the allotted word count, improved flow and sentence structure, and helped me make choices in terms of content. They did not necessarily help too much with brainstorming or developing content, but did provide feedback on the content itself and what could be improved without drastically changing the already written essay. I also signed up for a brainstorming session which was very useful to help me figure out my approach to different essays and ideate for the “diversity” essay prompt. In addition to the quality of editing, I really appreciate the affordability!

Highly Recommend!!!

I found MotivateMD online when I was getting ready to apply to medical school and I’m so glad I did! Jackie M. helped me write an amazing personal statement that helped me get into my top school and was super encouraging throughout! She helped me brainstorm and never took more than a day to respond to my edits which I really appreciated. Dr. Chatrath helped me with my mock interview and gave me some really great feedback and I felt so confident during my interviews. If you’re about to apply to medical school, I would absolutely recommend MotivateMD!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

I purchased the Premium Interview Prep package with two mock interviews and practice interview questions (MMI + standard). I was fortunate to be paired with Natalie for my mock interviews. She provided phenomenal feedback on my responses each time and helped me identify other content I could bring in when answering questions. After my mock interviews, I felt well-prepared for my actual interviews. MotivateMD is worth the money, and I am so appreciative of their help in getting me to medical school!

I'm so thankful for Motivate MD!

Initially, I was a bit apprehensive because their focus seemed to be primarily on students applying to medical school. They are incredibly versatile and can assist anyone applying to graduate school. I was able to get into my top choice for pharmacy school thanks to Emma and Madihah! I highly recommend Motivate MD!

SO worth the money!

I bought the package with primary/secondary help that came with two mock interviews. I am so grateful an older friend recommended motivateMD to me, as their help with editing and brainstorming for my secondaries was so insightful. Dr. Nada helped me focus difficult secondary questions as well as cut them to be within the character count. I always left our zoom calls feeling empowered, encouraged, and reminded about why I want to be a physician. I also did two mock interviews with motivateMD which were definitely good practice. The two interviews I ended up getting were unconventional so they were not similar to the mock interviews I did with motivateMD, however I am still very grateful I got to practice with motivateMD because I felt over-prepared coming out of my interviews. All in all- motivateMD is totally worth the money! I just found out I was accepted to my dream program, and I am so grateful for the assistance that guided my path here!

2 Mock interviews package

I took the package for 2 mock interviews. I was able to get one since my interview was too close. I was helped my an internal medicine person, my interview was in pathology, but she asked me good questions and guidance regarding pathology interview. The quality and price for the live mock interview is awesome compared to other competitive companies. The customer service is excellent as they always got back to me via email or by phone in scheduling the interview session, answered all my questions and concerns, as well as refunded me back for the mock interview session that I was not able to schedule.

I greatly appreciated their feedback

I greatly appreciated their feedback, especially the grammatical corrections and their suggestions on rephrasing a sentence. I also like how my editor helped me edit my essay to make it more catered toward my specialty. The price was reasonable as well.

I got so many grammatical corrections

I got so many grammatical corrections, proofreading on my personal statement and advices on how to relate my experience to the specialty whether by adding a sentence or trimming one.
Overall, it was helpful and very affordable for the price compared to other services.

The interviewer seemed invested enough to give meaningful feedback to improve my interview skills. The interviewer seemed aware of what sounds like a weaker response than others.

Amazing edits, amazing company

Amazing company, period. They are truly the best! They helped with edits for secondaries for multiple schools. I had initially started working with another company and spent thousands of dollars with them, only for the company to not follow through on their promises. After that, I was hesitant to sign up with any more companies. However, motivate MD was spectacular!! The process was so smooth and every single editor I worked with was knowledgeable, thorough, and truly cared. Their edits definitely helped me create better essays.

TLDR: They are spectacular!!! Use their editing services, it’s so worth it!!
