Motivate MD has an amazing essay review service that I can only wish I had when I was applying to med school. I would have paid an endless amount of money to work with them but luckily you don’t have to. Their med student editors provide crucial admission insight by viewing the admission process from the student perspective. They have identified patterns that will make certain students are memorable and competitive. These editors are no joke. To top it off, Motivate MD’s essay review service is actually affordable.
If I were you, I’d purchase the Ultimate Acceptance Package which is their all-in-one package.

The Ultimate Acceptance Package includes everything that you would need in order to put your best out there for the admissions committee. All of your application essays reviewed, interview prep, admissions consulting, and mentorship from a med student.
Our rigorous screening, application, and training process, leaves us with a core editing team representing the top 5% of all applicants. Our editors are medical students, with most of them having some English/writing background and/or admissions experience. Having reviewed hundreds of essays has allowed us to identify patterns that make certain students are memorable and competitive.
More and more companies are using a pre-med’s desperate situation to make a buck. Charging $300 to $1,000 for proofreading of a single draft, and up to $10,000 for application packages. We are committed to providing a superior essay review service at prices pre-meds can actually afford, 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Our carefully-selected editing team is currently made up of physicians and medical students who have completed our rigorous screening, application, and training process. Some of our editors have either sat on admissions committees or have contributed in some capacity to admissions at their school. It’s critical for your essays to be viewed from multiple different perspectives, so we make it a priority to have a very diverse team of editors.
>98%.
This number is based off of the number of applicants who got back to us saying whether or not they were accepted into at least one medical school.
In order to be an editor for Motivate MD, the person needs to check off two boxes. 1. They were accepted and currently attend or graduated from medical school. 2. They have an expertise for English writing. Both a medical student and physician can check off those boxes. We strongly believe that just because someone is a physician does not mean they are qualified to review essays.
That being said, we do have a few physicians a part of our team who are extremely talented. We primarily like to have medical students be editors for one simple reason: They are closer to the medical school application process.
This can vary depending on the time of the year (there is a huge influx of essays from late May through August), but we always have a team goal to get reviews back to people within 48 hours. We have a guarantee of a 2-3 day turnaround. We strive for timely delivery, however, quality and effectiveness are our main priorities.
After you purchase a review package, you will get an email with what the next steps are. All drafts and reviews are sent within The PreMed App.
You will receive a confirmation email for your purchase (check your trash/spam folders, if you don’t see it after a day) that outlines the immediate next steps in our review process.
The short answer is no. Although we started by reviewing only medical school application essays, we have been able to cater our editing secrets to make any essay memorable.
We have helped those applying to medical residencies, PA school, dental school, nursing school, and grad/law school create very effective and unique essays. Just give us any information you can during the checkout process to help us optimize our reviews to fit your specific situation!
