ubcredfox Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Hi, I've recently started an application-review service tailored for pre-meds. If you want to get an edge on your application we can: -critically review your application including extra-curriculars and admission essays -provide insight into its strengths/weaknesses and help you plan ahead for admission -help you develop interview strategies that capitalize on the strength of your application -provide advice on interview questions and answers Uniquely, this is run by Canadian M.D.'s. We know where you've been and we can help you get to where you want to be. The service is run entirely online, and if you have any further questions, please email: getmeintomed@yahoo.com Our rates are charged hourly and are extremely competitive. Cheers!

future_doc Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Wonderful! Then you will have no problem in the public domain to give us a full CV run-down of each of you, your background of applying, e.g., were you accepted at every med school to which you applied first tiem round, were you memeber of adcom, how many applicants have come to you and your success rate with them, and of course, your fee sturcture. You see we are a self-help group and do nicely as is. But if you have something to add to the pool as an oiption, we would apprecuate totoal transparency now, full disclosure of all material facts of which we should be aware of from you. Thank you.

I typed fast and hit the submit button w/op checking. The 'k' pops up always everywhere although I never type it, don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... so true... unless their MD's got in at every med school they applied to (and the worse their physical numbers, GPA/MCAT, the better), I would not trust their advice. There is a huge range of people even within med... And since when are advertisement allowed on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedMotivation Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Our rates are charged hourly and are extremely competitive. Looks like someone is trying to take advantage of desperate pre-meds and make a quick buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your school's career centre, premed club, this forum, ....... I am kind of curious now - exactly how many of these types of services are out there?

Tango Charlie Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 FACT: Having less money makes you more likely to get accepted into medical school. GetMeIntoMed will help you with that aspect of your application. Buy now while supplies last! Also, it's funny how this "competitively priced" service is basically offering the same functions that this forum offers for free, and with no more credentials to back it up than the members here, past and future students, have to offer. Why yes, I would like to pay money for the exact same things I freely visit this very website for. What a tremendous offer. Clearly you "Canadian MDs" are in the wrong line of work, as business acumen like this could have netted you billions by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 The OP never did respond to my 1st post here inviting him to give the credientials, background and success of the group.

Leon Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Why in the world would MDs do this? Any potential income from this must be negligible when compared to their usual salary......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamP Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 man there are so many medstudents who are happy to do this for free. honestly if you are geographically near any medschool at all you can find help. like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 As alluded to in the thread started by Mourning Cloak, MD = resident; MD + CCFP/FRCPC/FRCSC or equivalent = practicing physician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their reply says everything of importance about the value of their offer. It is also funny how all of these operate out of a free email address somehow. It costs about 15 dollars and 30 minutes to create your own company email system. Someone operating out of hotmail/yahoo/etc gives a dead give away that something strange is going on.

Doctor_Strangelove Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 lol whoever needs to use these services to improve their chances of getting into medschool is pathetic. There is no problem in a little preparation before an interview or anything, but paying for services so that they can help you set-up a "facade" is very desperate.

mattg Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 as well - competitive with what exactly? Your school's career centre, premed club, this forum, ....... I am kind of curious now - exactly how many of these types of services are out there? I think they were probably refering to the Kaplan, TPR, etc. services... I can't remember which ones do it (I know Kaplan does for sure), and I can't remember exactly how much it is... but i remember when i was logging on to their website to get a free practice mcat, seeing some RIDICULOUS price for them to review your application and stuff like that... upwards of like $700/hr or something:eek: not hard to be competitive with that lol edit: http://www.kaptest.com/MCAT/Get-Admissions-Help/admissions-consulting-services.html $600 for the 'basic 3 hour package', $2200 for the 'premium 15 hour package'....... sign me up immediately if there's no money back guarantee upon non-acceptance, that's pure robbery... i can't imagine anyone who would be desperate enough to pay this (although in reality i can... i'm sure the majority of their customers are desperate/obsessive parents forcing their kids to send in their application to get it reviewed by these 'experts', thinking it will guarantee their acceptance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I believe Dr. Carmen Mueller, who no longer does it, was good. Her fees and services were all transparent and listed. Such is not the case here, although they were asked for details but obviously, they are not prepared to give transparency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningdoc Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have this brilliant idea for an invention. It's going to be like twitter and facebook except with more music, confusing layout, and will come at a small cost. I'm going to call it MyPlace.
