Dr. Freedman and her MedEdits colleagues know what specific criteria medical school admissions committees use to evaluate applicants. Because of our medical school admissions, mentoring, and teaching experience, we have an inside understanding of what applicants should accomplish academically, clinically, and extracurricularly to gain acceptance to medical school and how to communicate this information effectively through your written documents and interviews. Our experience working privately with applicants also gives a unique understanding of applicants’ misconceptions and common mistakes. There is nobody in the medical school admissions consulting arena with MedEdits’ depth of expertise.

MedEdits assists medical school applicants comprehensively by developing a personalized plan to maximize their chances of admission to medical school. We suggest the best extracurricular and clinical activities in which to be involved, what courses to select, and when to take the MCAT. Together, we create a time line for completion of tasks, discuss how to select medical schools, who should write letters of recommendation, what topics should be included in the personal statement and application entries, and how to downplay candidacy weaknesses and highlight strengths.

At MedEdits, we are invested in the success of our clients and develop a personalized consulting strategy based on each individual’s needs. We ensure that an applicant’s individuality is highlighted and that they are not “over-packaged.” A career in medicine is a lifelong commitment and we embrace the philosophy that applicants should not simply do what is necessary to “get in” but should enjoy and learn from the process.

We also understand the unique concerns of non-traditional applicants and reapplicants. If you did not receive any acceptances, we will review your application to identify deficiencies and strategize on how to improve your candidacy. The best time to start working with MedEdits is as soon as you make the decision to pursue a medical career.

Your MedEdits consultant personally evaluates each document and reviews every document submitted. All documents are also reviewed by a member of our editorial team. Every MedEdits client therefore benefits from a former medical school admissions officer’s expertise and receives a professionally edited document. This offers a distinct advantage over the single review offered by competitors.

Your written application materials must distinguish you from other applicants and are used by admissions committees as a primary screening tool that determine if you are invited for an interview. Applicants are often put in the rejection pile because their documents seem mundane or ordinary. Although grades and MCATs speak for themselves, the personal statement and written descriptions of extracurricular activities and accomplishments are crucial. Sometimes applicants do not spotlight their accomplishments by failing to embellish and highlight them adequately. Any flaws in your background must also be presented strategically. We will thoroughly review your application and make comments and suggestions on how best to present yourself to admissions officers.

Medical School Personal Statement Edit and Review

Our team has read thousands of medical school personal statements and admissions essays. It is imperative that the personal statement be distinctive, well written and intriguing. We work with each applicant, drawing out their unique voice or personal story, to promote them in an intelligent, professional, organized, and original manner. The admissions officer who reads your essay has read hundreds of others so it is crucial that your essay stand out. One of the most common mistakes applicants make is to write an essay they think is original but, in reality, is commonplace and trite. At MedEdits, we weed out such story lines and make suggestions for change and improvement.

AMCAS® Application Edit and Review

Your written application to medical school must be outstanding. There is a common misconception among applicants that the written application is less important than the personal statement. When deciding if an applicant should be granted an interview, the admissions committee may spend the most time reviewing extracurricular activity descriptions. Because our team has read hundreds of medical school applications, we know how to make yours impressive. Applicants are often put in the rejection pile because their documents seem mundane or ordinary.

Secondary Essay Edit and Review

Most medical schools require applicants to write secondary essays that are specific for each individual school. Sometimes applicants underestimate the time it takes to complete secondary essays. We offer flexible options for secondary essay editing since the word and character count limits vary from school to school.

Letter of Intent Edit and Review

If you are wait listed, it is essential that you communicate effectively with your first choice school. You must express your interest in the school and illustrate your excellence and outstanding achievement. Writing a compelling letter of intent is an art, and we will guide you to give you the best chance of acceptance.

MedEdits provides interview coaching and mock interviews. Every MedEdits consultant has served on medical school admissions committees and therefore has an inside understanding of the different styles of interviews and the answers that admissions committees are seeking. We help applicants formulate answers to difficult questions including those about flaws in the application. We also tell applicants what to expect on interview day, the best time in the process to interview and will coach applicants about proper interview etiquette. We provide applicants with personalized feedback after mock interviews and discuss the best post-interview strategy including how to write a compelling letter of intent or what to do if you are placed on the wait list.

We tailor mock interviews to suit each applicant’s needs. Some students request general mock interviews, while others might be preparing for a multiple mini or panel interview. Our consultants are comfortable with all interview styles and can focus session(s) depending on each applicant’s needs.
