Highly Recommend!!
Amazing staff that helped me schedule my mock interviews in a quick fashion. The mock interviews and VITA prep were also awesome. The interviewers really took the time to understand my answers and add their input. Highly recommend!!
My MMI Mock Interviews
I have a couple of mock interviews with Ankitha and Emma. Both of them are professional in preparing students for their interviews. The team was also very flexible to schedule those mock interviews based on my time availability.
Secondaries w/ Ankitha
Really enjoyed working with Ankitha on a few of my secondaries! She was honest and candid about her experience through the application cycle, and she was very flexible. Overall I felt that she truly cared about my success and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure the work I submitted was something I was truly proud of.
Great Mock Interview!!!
Emma was wonderful! She helped me with mock interviews. She was very thorough in her questions and her feedback following the mock interview. I could not say enough great things! I highly recommend Motivate MD. I have also used Motivate MD for primary applications and they were also very helpful and prompt in their feedback. Becca is on top of everything and is very quick to respond to any questions.
Fast and completely helpful
They were so helpful! They helped me write the best essays I've ever written.
Best Medical School Application Service
I am very grateful for all of the guidance and support I received from Motivate MD throughout my medical school application process. So far, I have received seven interview invites and two acceptances, and this would not have been possible without the ultimate acceptance package that I used. Everyone that I worked with was terrific. Becca is incredibly down-to-earth, always there to answer your questions, and truly wants you to succeed. All of my editors were current medical students, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The reviews for my essays were always returned to me within 24-48 hours. My editors were honest and offered input/recommendations which helped me think of ideas that I had not previously considered. They really helped me strengthen my personal statement, work/activities, and secondary essays a substantial amount. Lastly, all of the packages at Motivate MD are a fraction of the cost compared to other companies. You will not find better people to work with, and I highly recommend their services to all medical school applicants!!
essay review
I submitted 2 essays for review and both were very helpful. The turnaround time was fast and the comments were insightful. In retrospect, I wish I had ordered the package sooner. However the website was a little confusing and I wasn't sure which package to choose. Overall, I would recommend this service to others.
Highly recommend this service!
Emma, my mentor, was the best mentor I could have asked for. She is passionate about what she does, which makes her fantastic at her job. She coached me through relevant experiences, and the mindset that I should foster when thinking about the interview questions.
I'm so glad I found Motivate MD to help…
I'm so glad I found Motivate MD to help me refine my statement. This made all the difference between a good and a great personal statement.
Best Service for Interview Prep, especially for price
I know reviews are often skewed to one side because they're written by people who either really loved a service, or really hated it. With that being said, I rarely leave reviews for that reason. But, I just had to makeup for a prior review I left (I gave motivateMD a 4/5) because I had tried a different "reputable" interview service , and it was so trash I asked for my money back after the interview. I paid $350 so a man could eat popcorn as he interviewed me. Anyway, the point of this post is not to bash that other service who I shall not name (just be wary if you are considering signing up for $350 an hour interview practice/slot), but it is to highlight some of the reasons I recommend motivateMD. First reason, Becca, the person who communicates with you and sends you confirmations, is so sweet and very helpful. Secondly, the interviewers, who are med students themselves, are so amazing. I know other services offer "physician interviewers," but those are the same ones who tend to not care about the students. I have had two mock interviewers, Emma and Sean (sorry if you two are humble souls but had to shout you guys out) who were phenomenal in the feedback they gave me. Of course the experience won't be the same for everyone, we all have different starting points, but know that the team really does work to ensure you feel confident or at least, assured, when going into interviews. Thirdly, even after your mock interview, there is not only feedback given, but a feedback form!! Also, they record the session for you, rather than telling you to record it. And the thing I LOVED THE MOST, the interviewers tell you that you can email them if you have any questions. Keep in mind, they are busy medical students and are still making the time for you. Lastly, the price is very affordable, and think certain times of the year, a coupon option is available so look that up and you get some money off (even though I feel the service is very worth the price.) MotivateMD is one of the least expensive interview prep programs I have come across, but also the best in my experience (but I've only experienced one other so idk how reliable I am.) I hope the prices always stay this fair and that they continue to grow in the success of their business, but most importantly, in helping students feel confident in their interviewing skills.
