MotivateMD is the best
MotivateMD is the best! I cannot recommend Emerson enough!!!! She was so so helpful throughout all steps of the medical school application process (MD and DO primary application, secondaries, creating school list, personal statement, interview prep, etc). She always provided such thoughtful edits and suggestions for my essays. She had very insightful writing tips and wording suggestions, and a very quick turnaround time. Emerson is so positive and fun to work with, and I truly felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole process! Her encouragement and positivity is a game changer for this very long process :)

I highly recommend MotivateMD for med school apps!
I was behind on my personal statement, but MotivateMD helped me edit nearly 10 drafts of my personal statement and activity/work sections in just one month. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to submit my primary application within a week of AMCAS opening! I had brainstorming sessions with different coaches, which gave me fresh perspectives and ideas. Their support became even more invaluable when I started receiving secondary applications. I worked with coaches familiar with the schools I was applying to, which helped me write detailed, tailored responses. MotivateMD doesn’t just edit grammar, spelling, or word count. They provide concrete suggestions to make your writing stronger and more compelling. The biggest advantage is working with actual medical students and residents from a range of schools, many with admissions committee experience. They understand the process firsthand and provide guidance that is practical and realistic. They are quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and I truly wouldn’t have made it through the application process without them. Whether you need help with writing, interviews, CASPer, or general advice, MotivateMD is an affordable, high-quality resource I cannot recommend enough!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry for the confusion around your daughter's essay review. In this case, the essay was submitted without the original prompt, so the reviewer didn’t have the right context to work from. Still, we believe our editors should always pause and reach out for clarification rather than risk giving unhelpful feedback. We’re making changes to be sure that step isn’t missed again.
I truly appreciate your kind words, and I want you to know I’ll be keeping a close eye to make sure your daughter feels supported every step of the way.

Useful, quick, easy to use
I used the writing review products which I liked a lot. I got feedback from a few readers on different versions of my essays, which gave me good perspective on how my writing came across. A couple readers were slower in returning feedback but some of them were very quick. The comments were very useful in my editing process. Everyone involved was friendly and provided good encouragement along with the edits.
