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.

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.

Mock Interview Review
I had an incredible experience working with Emma. She helped me elevate my answers and took the time to carefully review every question. I have my second mock interview with her as well. I will definitely be using Motivate MD for my other upcoming interviews!
