ZHall Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi everyone, This is my second time applying and I'm wondering if anyone has used any application editing or reviewing services? I am unsure of how valuable paying for something like this is... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 There are legit services out there, and there are some less legit ones too. The value of these services depend a lot on your circumstances. Frequently these services hire medical students to do the review, so if you have any friends/family that have been accepted to medicine or similar professional services that are willing to help you then that might be fine. If you don't have anyone, it's not unreasonable, but do your research to find the legit ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHall Posted September 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 So I did some digging and I found some Canadian platforms with not outrageous prices: 1) https://futurememd.com/ This service seems to hire medical students like you said and shows which schools they got into. But it seems the edits are mainly for grammar/flow and I don't know if it's reasonable to expect more than that if we're paying. And heavily based on word count. No one showed up to the free consult Google meet lol. 2) https://www.nucoach.ca/book-a-class This services also hires medical students and price based on schools not word count. Probably better if I want to max the word counts in my essays? Free consult was 20 min and went well & was pretty useful. 3) https://medapplications.com/canadian-medical-school-applications/#pricing This one is unclear about who the advisors are... but the fees are based on packages which are a lot more expensive than the above two. But you get unlimited revisions which could be useful to make it worth the price. Has anyone had any luck with any of these? I was unfortunately scammed last year when I applied - hired a service off premed101 and they asked for a 25% deposit and never edited my essays. Thanks!

ZHall Posted September 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Lol reported them but I'd rather not gain any bad karma this application cycle. I have checked out Astroff as well but due to affordability I will be going with nUcoach (edits should be back today). I can post a review for others interested.
