Solid Mock Interview Prep
Expected quality of interview prep, albeit slightly overpriced for what it's worth. Listed as giving an interview scoring rubric but did not receive one after contacting them. However, the interviewer provided great feedback that was applicable to refine my interview skills for that specific school and others in general, where I ultimately got accepted.

Thank you, Anton, for taking the time to share your experience! I am glad to hear the feedback you received helped strengthen your interview skills and about your acceptance. I am sorry you did not receive the scoring rubric as expected. I will look into this right away to prevent this from happening again. We appreciate your insight and wish you the very best moving forward as you start medical school!

Highly Recommend
Motivate MD was incredibly helpful during my residency application! I used their residency package for ERAS editing and a mock interview. The feedback was detailed and personalized, and even though my interviewer wasn’t from my exact specialty, they tailored the session and advice perfectly. I felt much more confident going into my interviews and I highly recommend!!

Disappointed
Overall, im disappointed. I was expecting significantly more guidance and support. The package was extremely expensive for the product.
I don’t know what I’m doing. When I asked for the personal statement to be reviewed by admissions experienced advisor, it did not happen. I received grammar / sentence restructuring edits; I was expecting much more in depth edits to make my PS brilliant. I’m happy with it I guess, but when I asked my MD friend to critique it, he had much better critiques. For instance, he would suggest adding an experience to support this claim, or how it ties specifically to Md / DO etc, saying this sounded contrived.
I was bemused with the technicality of the package. AAMCOMAS requires primaries to be sent in order to receive secondaries. AMCAS secondaries usually involve writing essays. AACOMAS primaries occasionally required essays. However, these primary essays don’t count in the primary package I purchased, despite it being a primary. I am grateful someone glanced over my ‘secondary’ for 30 seconds.
Overall, I wouldn’t be so disappointed if the package wasn’t so expensive. Cost doesn’t represent equal value.

Hello Adrian,
I’m so sorry to hear this was your experience. We never want any applicant to feel this way. After reviewing your account, it looks like you submitted two rounds for your personal statement, one for your activities, and a few supplemental essays, all within about a week. The unlimited-edit package you purchased is typically used over several months to get the full value, so I understand why you may have felt the price didn’t seem worth it given your shorter timeline. I also want to note that the editors you worked with do have admissions committee experience.
We’ve supported thousands of applicants through every part of the application process, and our goal is always to ensure each person feels fully guided and confident. I’ll review our materials and this situation to make sure we learn from it and prevent any applicant from feeling this way in the future.
We’ll, of course, honor our 100% money-back guarantee to make this right. I’ll also reach out via email to see if there’s any additional support we can provide, whether that’s a free mock interview or another resource to help you feel supported moving forward.
Sincerely,
Becca

Got accepted thanks to Motivate MD!
Everyone at Motivate MD has been so helpful throughout the application process. I was able to have my primary and secondaries reviewed by the team, and also a thorough mock interview. All my reviews were always returned in a timely fashion. I got accepted into one of my top medical school choices. With the huge amount of time and work it takes to complete all parts of the application, the support I received from Motivate MD was totally worth it. I couldn't have done it without them!
