How we work
The commitments behind every session.
- Your voice stays yours
- We give feedback, ask questions, and suggest edits. We do not write your essays. An application should sound like the person submitting it.
- Honest feedback
- We tell you what is working and what is not, and we explain why, so you can improve the next draft on your own.
- Private by default
- Your drafts and personal details are stored in a private account and are seen only by the two of us.
- No guarantees
- Admission depends on many factors outside any consultant's control. We help you present your strongest, most authentic application. We cannot promise an outcome.
About us
We are current medical students. Our work began when we helped a friend turn a flat set of application essays into a strong, personal one, and we have kept that approach ever since.

Will you write my essays for me?
No. We review your writing, give feedback, and suggest edits. The words and the story must be yours, and medical schools expect that.
Can you guarantee I will get in?
No, and be cautious of anyone who does. We can help you improve how you present your experiences. Admissions decisions are made by the schools.
What if I need more than one hour of meeting time?
Additional one-on-one time is available at $50 per hour. You can add it whenever it is useful, including after your first session.
Are these prices permanent?
No. These are introductory prices, and we may raise them as we take on more students and gain more experience.
