neoteny Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 There a bunch of paid services, but I wouldn't waste my money (or time) on them if I were you. These forums have a lot of experienced posters who have been through the process and would love to help out. I know that some posters will help with the essay, interview tips, etc. I'm sure this would be much more useful to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnyboy6 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Does such thing exist? official and unofficial? Thanks, Muhgel They're expensive and often run by people who do not have an intimate understanding or experience with the admissions process. I got most of my stuff edited by future_doc, and I've gotten 4 interviews thus far! Also, my profs and mentors helped out a lot with respect to essays and interview skills. I'm sure most schools have faculty members who have sat on med admissions committees before (this is true of my school, even though we don't have a med school), and so they can help you.

muhgel Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 thanks very much for your help! I finally come to realize that bootstrapping is no longer sufficient. I am not sure where to go from here in terms of bettering my CV. Perhaps when the invites blow over, I'll make another post. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for advice on how to strengthen my application and fill the gaps given my stats. Any idea where to look for credible feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yugerry Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yah I would never pay anyone to 'fix' my application. It sounds ridiculous!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzah Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you have friends who have gone through the process, buy them a coffee (or dinner if you are generous) and you can go through your application. Also, physician mentors (or your PI) are a valuable source to bounce your PS off of. While coworkers are a good method to have extra input, keep in mind your PS will be read by people intimately involved in medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
