Testimonials
Since 2010, we have helped hundreds of students just like you get into elite universities and their dream BS/MD programs, all the while developing their ability to serve as future leaders of the medical field. From the hundreds of glowing student reviews we’ve received over the years, we’ve distilled here for you several dozen reviews to give you a holistic view of what you can expect when you join PremedHQ!
“PremedHQ has been a tremendous help during the BS/MD program application and interview process. As a student with minimal knowledge about these guaranteed medical programs, I truly benefited from PremedHQ’s resources and sessions with coaches to find out more about these programs and narrow down the schools I wanted to apply to. Since most of the coaches and staff at PremedHQ are in the medical field and many have gone through the BS/MD application process, the coaches impart a wealth of information and experiences to the students to aid them through their own college journey.
Though I switched coaches during the middle of college application season, PremedHQ was incredibly attentive to my needs and facilitated the transition between coaches so that I could still receive the advice and feedback for all my essays. My coach is wonderful, and is someone who truly cares about his student’s success. His ability to understand the student’s experiences and perspectives and help the student realize how to put his/her thoughts into words is unparalleled. Essay-writing is clearly one of my coach’s strengths, and he was able to help me articulate my views so that I could write a coherent, compelling essay. The interview preparation process was also aided by PremedHQ’s coaching and mock interviews with several of the PremedHQ staff. By having several mock phone-call interviews with different interviewers each time over the course of a month, I was really prepared come interview day, and several of the questions the mock-interviewers asked made a reappearance during the actual interview! The coaches and staff are not afraid to give real, constructive feedback, and obtaining advice and tips from a diverse group of interviewers gave me a more well-rounded picture of what I needed to work on. Overall, PremedHQ has given me invaluable advice and guidance throughout the application and interview process, and I am incredibly grateful for their services.”

“PremedHQ has helped me tremendously. My coach played an integral role in my extremely successful application cycle. Here's some of the amazing stuff he did for me:
- He never forced me to do anything, and he always maintained an open mind. I believe many coaches would be taken aback by a student spending so much time on a nonclinical/medical extracurricular activity. For me, that activity was violin. Even though playing violin is not your traditional medical related activity, my coach helped me brainstorm ways to connect music with medicine. Sure, I sacrificed focusing on formal shadowing experiences (I only had about 30 total hours), but I ended up having something really unique to my application. Many of my interviewers–traditional and BS/MD–chatted with me extensively about my musical background.
- My coach was a fantastic essay reader. He always gave me quality constructive criticism, and again, he maintained an open mind to some of my less traditional ideas. I went through nearly 20 drafts of my personal statement with him, spanning three different topics, before finally settling on my finished product. My coach gave my why medicine essay the same level of attention to detail, resulting in an essay that some of my medical school interviewers would specifically praise and comment on.
- General advice: how to cold-email professors, how to email interviewers, how to ask for recommendation letters, how to interview, etc.”

“My experience with PremedHQ was extraordinary. My coach truly took the time to learn about why I wanted to pursue medicine and what my aspirations for the future were. Rather than simply giving me a template essay to edit, he lead me through the time-consuming process of reflecting on my own experiences and composing an essay that was uniquely mine. Throughout the process, I gained a better understanding of myself and even developed a deeper resolve to pursue medicine. My coach was always available to answer any questions or doubts that I had, even the night before the interview. I developed a positive interview-going mindset that enabled me to conquer my fears and truly express my passion for medicine. I was fortunate to be admitted into a number of top BS/MD programs and universities. It would not have been possible without the guidance of PremedHQ. Even after I was admitted into these programs, my coach (an actual physician) took several hours to guide me through the decision making process and his insight was invaluable.”
PremedHQ student from North Carolina
“The coach assigned to me was very helpful and was always available for discussion. My family and I felt as if he had great comments about structuring the essays and getting clear points across in all my writing. I would finish the essays for a certain college, let my coach know so he could edit them, and then we would go over his edits together. Overall I got into some of my top choices and was very happy with the help that he provided. I also found the coaching interviews beneficial as a lot of the questions that I was asked showed up in the interviews.”
PremedHQ student from New York
“I think having a mentor to guide me through the college admissions process helped alleviate a lot of the stress associated with applying. Additionally, my essay writing skills greatly improved. Through writing many supplemental essays, I learned a lot about myself and what I am truly passionate about in the medical field. PremedHQ also helped me stay on top of my standardized testing study plan by helping me create a personalized approach. My coach gave me worthwhile advice that will help me through not only my journey in medicine, but also in life. Overall, the most beneficial things PremedHQ has done for me is helping me reflect on the meaningful things I have participated in thus far, and helped me become excited and passionate about how I want to change the medical field as a physician. Also, my coach was always frank with me on what I needed to do to improve test scores/essays/etc and I appreciated this a lot because it motivated me to do better. Additionally, he was always accessible and gave me honest answers to all my questions.”
PremedHQ student from Texas
“PremedHQ helped guide me through the usually stressful college admissions process. My primary coach really helped with becoming a better writer as she worked through the edits on my essays. My supervising coach and main coach both worked together by highlighting not only my strengths, but also areas that I can improve to succeed better in college. For me, my biggest weakness was time management. Right before college applications were due, my coach made sure that I was finishing all of the essays on time and to the best of my ability. The practice calls that I received for preparation for the interview truly helped me prepare for the college interviews I had. Interview coaches guided me through the questions that they typically ask in college interviews and also asked questions that were a little bit unexpected. This helped me because in my interview for Brown, the alumni asked questions that weren't typically asked in an interview. For example, the alumni asked what my favorite movie was and why or what I thought about certain ethical healthcare issues in society. Overall, I had a positive experience with PremedHQ as it helped me grow into a better person during my senior year of high school.”

“My experience with PremedHQ was mostly enjoyable. Even though I didn't get accepted into as many schools as I planned, I am still happy with the results and offer from my top choice school. My coach was extremely helpful and was always willing to help me at anytime throughout the week. One component of the coaching process that I found truly beneficial was the preparation for my interviews. This process thoroughly prepared me for my interview and gave me the confidence needed to stand out during the actual interview. Another component of the coaching process that was beneficial to me was the guidance that I received when revising my essays. All of the essays that I submitted during my time with PremedHQ were polished and unique. Lastly, I believe that the coaching process greatly increased my knowledge of the medical profession. This knowledge assisted me in choosing topics for my essays and preparing me for my interview.”

“My coach was extremely helpful in guiding me in what to write. She helped me form an amazing application package that truly conveyed who I am. I have learned so much from her about writing and feel like I have grown immensely as a writer. Additionally, I throughout the interview preparation process, she aided me in delivering my responses with more clarity and confidence and provided amazing tips which I implemented in all my interviews. Above all, she helped me remain confident through this stressful process!”
PremedHQ student from Arizona
“PremedHQ has truly been a supporter that has motivated me throughout this journey, and it certainly wouldn't be the same without my coach! From day one, I was engaged and entrusted by a mentor who subsided my fears entering into this entire process and kept me moving through every obstacle I faced throughout my senior year in high school. I was initially very hesitant about certain components of my application, which PremedHQ helped in boosting up and enhancing other factors to make me stand out as a stellar applicant. Looking back, I would not have imagined getting interviews from multiple schools and eventually choosing a program I could have only dreamed of getting into. I was able to evolve as a strong writer by taking each essay and prompt as a stepping stone to better convey my ideas as a student admiring the medical field wholeheartedly given the word limit. Compared to the average applicant, I found myself applying to more programs to best boost my chances, and I was extremely thankful that my coach encouraged me to test and try out every program on my plate for my best "fit". In addition, though I consider myself as a pretty good conversationalist, the rigorous interview preparation helped best fine tune my answers and speaking style to tailor towards what medical schools really want to hear, all by being yourself. I was given all the information needed to make my best decision straight and to the point, which I believe helped me decide wisely where I wanted to go. My family was very much engaged during this process, and we are all very thankful to have made PremedHQ a part of our journey.”
PremedHQ student from Arizona
“I would like to thank you guys for an impactful journey that I know I could not have done without the help of my coach. With the help of my coach, I was able to write very eloquent and meaningful essays that helped me get into competitive programs within my schools. Although I only received one offer for a BS/MD program, I am even more excited to pursue medicine in the future thanks to my coach. With her guidance, I was able to sit down and figure out my plan for college in terms of the pre-med track. I was also able to find amazing volunteering experiences that helped me get a sense of medicine in different environments. I know that as a freshman in college I will continue to volunteer at these places during my breaks, and I will also choose similar volunteer opportunities around my college campus. Additionally, I learned a great amount about the essay revision process, which was tough to grasp during the early stages of essay writing. I would always write a good amount over the word count but found it easier as I worked with my coach to take out unnecessary words. Now, I can write concise essays that convey the points I am trying to make. If I do come across an essay that I write over the word count, I don't have as much trouble cutting down words. Overall, I enjoyed the PremedHQ guidance and especially the help from my coach.”
PremedHQ student from Texas
“Very good services. Great initial help with brainstorming essays and working through the essay process. I applied to a lot of schools (24, counting the UCs as one), and likely as a result, my coach did not always give the most detailed comments on essays. However, he was very helpful overall. Great conversations, was very eloquent and deliberate, very supportive as well. He also supported me immensely in the interview process. We did not meet regularly, but when we did, it was useful and beneficial information.”
PremedHQ student from California
“PremedHQ did a great job preparing me for the application process. My coach was a helpful guide along the way and I have him to thank for my acceptances. While I am sad I did not get into Boston's program, I am thankful for being invited to their BS/MD interview and receiving two BS/MD acceptances. I thought the interview prep process was very helpful. A lot of the questions asked at the actual interview were questions I was asked during my prep sessions. Overall, I am satisfied with my results. I have always hoped to go to a combined medical program, and now I am fulfilling my dream.”
PremedHQ student from Wyoming
“I applied to many and was expecting more BSMD acceptances, but still happy I got 2. I had started junior year with the program and by that time I had already had my extracurriculars set. The most useful time during this program was essay writing. In the beginning, my coach helped a lot with essay advice and then after writing many, I was able to be confident in my own writing. The interview sessions did help with speaking skills and preparation for future interviews.”
PremedHQ student from North Carolina
“My experience with PremedHQ was wonderful. We met when we needed and my coach answered the questions I was having. She really helped me get a better perspective of the medical field as a whole, the good and bad things. I feel like my interview skills have really improved; I am able to communicate clearly, slowly and answer the questions precisely. Having different coaches interview me really helped because I was able to learn different ideas and styles for answering the question. I thought meeting with the higher coach at certain times was also beneficial because we got a different view on a question or the problem we had. I am happy with the scholarships and the 4-year admissions I have received.”
PremedHQ student from Virginia
“I loved PremedHQ as it offered me a counselor who worked with me one-on-one and guided me through the application process. PremedHQ did not restrict me to the number of universities I applied to and my coach always made herself available to go over the essays even during peak application months. She knew me well enough to tell me that certain phrases in my essays were either cliche or that I needed to add more details to get my point across. I was openly able to discuss my thoughts, ideas and every step of the process with her. PremeHQ even prepared me for the interviews. Without my coach’s help, I don't think I would have been able to cast such a wide net.”
PremedHQ student from New York
“Overall, it’s been great! I was so fortunate to get into my top schools, programs, and scholarships, and honestly, the end result of my college application season could not have gotten any better. I definitely have to thank PremedHQ, and in particular, my coach, for really taking the time to read through my essays and constantly giving me feedback. Although it was SO frustrating sometimes having to make huge changes to the essays after working so hard on it, I really appreciate the “tell it like it is” approach that my coach took with me. She is also just a super fun and empathetic person to work with. Another aspect that really helped was the regular sessions that she and I had because they served as a great checkpoint for both of us. Admittedly, scheduling was a bit difficult, at times, due to the long hours that my coach and (occasionally) I had, so having set times each week to talk might have been a better option. Finally, the mock interviews, both the structured ones with other coaches and the ones that my coach took the time to do, were very helpful.”
PremedHQ student from North Carolina
“PremedHQ has helped me improve my writing skills immensely. I am glad I went through the college process with PremedHQ. My coach helped me craft my essays and helped me build on rough ideas. He helped me create my best pieces of writing to date, and I am very thankful for his help. He also guided me through the process of starting a club at school, and he gave me ideas on how to improve it over time. I knew it would be hard for me to get into a program with my low GPA, and my coach helped me select programs to target keeping my academic profile in mind. The mock interviews also helped ease my nerves before my Penn State interview.”
PremedHQ student from Texas
“PremedHQ has been exceptional at mentoring me throughout the application process. From the start, it was beneficial learning how to write about my experiences, as this helped me with my essays later on. My coach gave great writing advice and help, and I believe that I truly improved my writing through drafting and editing supplementary essays. This improvement not only showed itself in college applications, but in school as well. The revision process was especially beneficial, as I learned to critically assess my writing, and make meaningful edits. In addition, through writing these essays and reading through the recommended reading, I believe that I found a greater understanding of the medical profession, especially as I read When Breath Becomes Air (a recommendation from PremedHQ’s team). Furthermore, PremedHQ certainly prepared me well for the interview process. I believe that I became a confident speaker thanks to the hours spent practicing the sample questions, and receiving thorough feedback. From the coaches, I learned how to craft my answer carefully and clearly, and prevent nervousness from allowing my true self to come out during the interview. Overall, PremedHQ has been truly helpful and essential to achieving my program admission, and I am truly thankful to have had their service.”
PremedHQ student from New Jersey
“I had a great experience with PreMedHQ. I received a lot of help on my essays and my interview skills from my coach. I am grateful for the extra sessions of interviews that I had with him so I could better prepare for the real interviews. I also liked how I could easily and efficiently contact him if I had any questions on how to display my resume or what ideas I should write about for my essays. He also helped me to better understand how to write the essays and how to display my best self. I liked my consultations with some of the founders as they also reassured me and answered any questions I had. I also received other knowledge about the medical field from both my coach and the founders. Talking with my coach and the founders helped me eliminate my bad interview skills that I had and turn them into good ones. Whenever I was worried about an upcoming deadline or about how other people were applying for the same program, I received reassurance of my chances. I would like to thank PreMedHQ for giving me the opportunity to undergo this journey and I am very grateful for the help I received at every step of the process.”
PremedHQ student from California
“My experience with PremedHQ has taught me numerous skills that will help me succeed in the future. Coming into the program, I was an academically-inclined student with few extracurricular or leadership experience. I was underprepared for college applications and lacked the communication skills needed to succeed in my future career. However, with mentorship from my coach, I gained the motivation needed to push myself into seeking leadership positions in my school community. My coach has given me the support to push pass my initial shyness and take advantage of opportunities in my local community. Because of Premed HQ, I was able to gain numerous leadership position in my school alongside be accepted into multiple summer medical programs; by the beginning of senior year, I already had the profile of a competitive student alongside an improvement in my weak social skills.
Throughout the long college admissions process, my coach managed to work alongside my schedule to meet my frequent essay revisions and deadlines. When facing the interview process, I was inexperienced with answering questions. However, the training process was incredibly successful. During my interview with Florida Atlantic University, my interviewer commented that I was a fantastic candidate, an excellent interviewee, and a fun person to talk to! Premed HQ gave me the resources to become a well-rounded individual prepared for university!”
PremedHQ student from California
“My coach is amazing!!!! He really helped me understand the medical profession prior to starting the application process by discussing my previous and current health-related extracurricular activities. One of the biggest aspects of growth I've experienced while working with my coach is in regards to my writing. We worked in a cycle where I sent him drafts and he gave feedback and examples which I found to be helpful and efficient. We were constantly working on writing (even before the application process began.) As I enrolled in PremedHQ, I was most nervous about the interview process for BS/MD programs. While preparing for interviews, I received insightful feedback which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident when interviewing with Cooper Medical School. I also appreciate that PremedHQ's approach wasn't rigid. It allowed me to understand which aspects of my application needed more attention. A big thank you to everyone on the PremedHQ team!!!!”
PremedHQ student from New Jersey
“Premed HQ has helped me grow as a high school student by helping me choose classes and push myself through high school. My coaches taught me how to overcome some of my poor study habits so I could become a confident student of a much better standing. My coach has also helped me navigate approaching teachers I was wary of and reach out to researchers and physicians to gain opportunities I would have otherwise been unable to obtain. Many times, my coach supported me mentally through the struggles I faced at school and helped me find a path that worked for me. The guidance I received through the application essay writing process was also very helpful and informative, as it made me analyze myself and my life very deeply.”
PremedHQ student from California
“PremedHQ helped tremendously when it came to college essay preparation and interview practices. My coach gave me honest and helpful critiques in regards to my essay, and it really improved my supplemental essays a lot both content and structure wise. I personally think that essays played a huge role in my application, particularly considering the strong results I had compared to my relatively weak GPA. When it came to interview practices, having those three rounds of practice really improved my talking and prepared me well for my interview at Northwestern. At the time, I did not think that I would actually have an interview, because both CWRU and URochester had rejected me from their programs. Even knowing that, the coaches were sincere in helping me, and it prepared me very well for the interview that happened about a week after. In the end, I do believe that all the practice that PremedHQ was very helpful in my acceptances and I truly appreciate everything that it offered.”
PremedHQ student from California
“My experience with PremedHQ was fulfilling. I especially appreciated the intensive interview preparation, including guidance on how to structure answers, because in every interview I attended, I was asked questions I expected, and had prepared for with the PremedHQ team. This helped me succeed in my interviews as I felt confident, and was able to deliver clear, concise responses to any questions I was asked. I was able to be myself and have fun with the process instead of trying to figure out what to say and becoming a nervous wreck. Another aspect of the journey that often goes unrecognized is the self-confidence my coach helped me build. Applying to university is a major milestone, and can be a stressful process, especially when many of the PremedHQ students have such ambitious goals. My coach was always there for me when I was feeling down, and speaking with her played a significant role in keeping me sane throughout this process.”
PremedHQ student from Ontario, Canada
“My experience with my coach was very positive. He has helped me most by improving my understanding of the medical profession, developing my writing skills, improving my interview skills, and guiding me on essay revisions. Having someone to talk to about my reasoning as to why I wanted to go to medicine has helped me clarify to myself the reasons I want to join the medical field and as a result, better articulate those reasons in essays and interviews. I also worked on some supplementary writing exercises with my coach before the application cycle, so having some preliminary feedback helped me later on when I was writing my first drafts of my common app and supplementary essays. Mock interviews helped me build confidence in my interview skills, get feedback on my weaknesses, and led me to think about some of the questions that could and did arise. Personally, I didn't begin with PremedHQ until the second semester of my junior year, so I don't think I can speak on guidance on extracurricular activities too much. However, my coach was very helpful when I was applying for summer internships and has been everything I expected in a mentor.”
PremedHQ student from California
“I have had an amazing experience with PremedHQ. My coach was instrumental in helping me develop my knowledge of and interest in medicine through the articles he would share with me every week. Moreover, he helped guide me through forming my capstone project and building upon the activities I was already involved in. Whether it was helping me brainstorm, giving me ideas, or asking me how I thought I could improve, my coach always pushed me to do better. In addition to strengthening my portfolio of extracurricular activities, he also helped augment my writing skills. We would often do practice essays and work through series of edits in order to better prepare me for summer program and college applications. When working through the actual essays for such programs, my coach's feedback was always crucial to helping me form the best final essay I could. Finally, my coach was an incredible asset during the interview process. I could also go to him for tips about a specific program's interview style or how to conduct my myself for each interview. Moreover, the practice interview sessions we did during our own weekly calls on top of the sessions with the PremedHQ staff were invaluable for bolstering my confidence and finalizing my answers for the real interviews. Overall, I am extremely grateful for my coach and the PremedHQ team.”
PremedHQ student from Maryland
“PremedHQ was an invaluable resource in my college applications journey. I truly believe that without their help, I could not have had the success I did in my college applications. My mentor was so helpful! We really connected on a personal level. One of the main reasons I really liked working with him was that he really made the effort to get to know me. Over time, he became more than just my mentor; he became my friend. I could not have asked for better coaching and guidance in my journey. The interview preparation process was very smooth. All of the coaches were experts, I improved on every mock interview. All in all, when it comes to a child’s college success, PremedHQ is the best place to start!”
PremedHQ student from Texas
“My coach was very helpful in providing assistance developing my EC portfolio as well as helpful confirming my choices in University programs I selected. My coach gave great reassurance to whatever choices I did make and gave suggestions for programs to add to the list or programs to consider removing. I received great help from not only my coach but the PremedHQ staff in general with the interview process which I believe made me a far better communicator. At the beginning of the process I barely had a grasp on MML interviews but in the end felt quite proficient in them and also was able to secure an acceptance to a BS/MD program with such an interview. My coach also provided great advice on how medical school and undergrad works in a BS/MD program, some info on how the medical field functions based on his knowledge and experiences, as well as tips on how to better succeed in undergrad and medical school.”
PremedHQ student from Georgia
“I think most of the guidance that I had during my high school experience came from PremedHQ. I believed that I had the abilities to enter into a BS/MD program, and the Premed HQ program/mentors helped organize my high school experience, giving clarity throughout the journey. My initial coach helped me formulate ideas for my extracurricular portfolio, gave me insight into studying habits to excel in my academics, and provided me with guidance at every part of my 3-year journey. My recent coach aided me in developing my application portfolio (including my essays) and practicing my interviews. Both played a very large part in my success, and I could not thank the Premed HQ program enough for helping me achieve my dreams of becoming a physician. I believe I was one of the youngest participants to join PremedHQ (starting in the beginning of my freshman year), so four years with my coaches proved invaluable to not only my acceptances to BS/MD programs but also to my development as a human being and a future health professional.”
PremedHQ student from Texas
“Since I joined PremedHQ during the 2nd half of my junior year, I believe PremedHQ had a bigger impact on me during the college application season. With the help of my coach, I was able to develop my writing skills which allowed me to receive acceptances/interviews to the top universities and BS/MD programs in the nation. My coach helped me craft the best essay possible for each school/program I applied to. My essays went through several revisions and I believed this is what made me a very competitive applicant. Furthermore, the intensive interview preparation was very helpful since I had several interviews I needed to prepare for. I could really see the improvement I made during all the practice interviews I had. I believe this was a key factor in me performing well during this past application season.”
PremedHQ student from New York
“My experience with Premed HQ was extremely helpful and impactful. My coach was genuinely dedicated to helping me succeed and achieve my goals. The main component of coaching that was most beneficial was revising my essays. My coach and I went through tens of drafts for my essays which not only produced better pieces, but also made me a better writer. I also really appreciated the interview process, as it was my first formal introduction to interviewing. I learned how to answer questions concisely and how to carry myself during an interview. Overall, the coaching experience has helped me in ways that will pay off well into my future.”
PremedHQ student from Maryland
“PremedHQ has truly helped me with the BS/MD and DO applications and interview process. Going into this rigorous application process, I was definitely overwhelmed. However, my coach was very easygoing and friendly and did a really good job providing advice and making this process less stressful. My coach took time out of her schedule to really get to know me and how to reflect myself throughout my applications. She was very attentive to my needs and was not afraid to give honest feedback when it came to my essays, giving me more insight on what I had to work on. As for the interview process, the PremedHQ staff were very helpful and prepared me well for the interviews. The mock interviews from several PremedHQ coaches were very thought out and organized and they were all very honest with their feedback. They prepared me for all different style questions and how to approach them in a more professional and ethical perspective. Additionally, as a student who didn’t have much knowledge on BS/MD programs, PremedHQ had a plethora of resources tailored to the BS/MD process which were very helpful. Overall, I had a very good experience and would definitely recommend this program to my friends!”
PremedHQ student from New York
“I am glad to have had my coach. He is a wonderful person, and he and the other coaches at PremedHQ really helped me in the BS/MD process, from essay editing to interview prepping. When it came to my essays, he gave me feedback -- both good and bad -- on them. Despite being a busy person, he always made sure to look over them thoroughly, and he made time to talk to me every week about them, addressing any concerns I had. Additionally, he encouraged and helped me put my true voice in my essay, which is something that I always had difficulty in doing. As for interview prepping, he and the other coaches were helpful in giving me feedback on my responses. They thoroughly prepared me for all types of questions I would potentially receive, from "Why Doctor?" to ethical scenarios. Before I had my coach, I was really nervous about the BS/MD application process. However, he helped me boost my confidence, and I really appreciate all of his help.”
PremedHQ student from Pittsburgh
“PMHQ was really helpful with trying to find stuff such as research/volunteering/shadowing, and my coach was very helpful when I created a nonprofit organization to raise awareness for the youth vaping issue. I was able to get into a really good school that fits my interests. My interest in the medical field also increased because I had continued experiences that fueled my interest. I also became a much better writer, as the essay review process was really good and helped me write a good common app essay that helped me secure a lot of undergrad acceptances. The interview prep was good and my coach did give me other opportunities to practice for interviews.”
PremedHQ student from Missouri
“My experience with Premed HQ was overall very positive. Both my coaches (I changed coaches midway due to my first coach transitioning out of Premed HQ) were patient and helped me develop my writing skills and ideas into essays I was proud to present to colleges. They were responsive to my questions and receptive to my ideas while guiding me to develop my essay concepts by pushing me with questions that encouraged me to think deeper about the topics I was writing about. I joined Premed HQ in my sophomore year and my coach met with me weekly to develop a capstone project and give me ideas on how to set myself apart with clinical opportunities (ex: free clinics, scribing, EMT, etc.). Although I was ultimately not able to take advantage of these opportunities due to COVID shutting things down and age restrictions, it was very helpful to get an idea of how to stand out. Thanks to continued support and guidance, I was able to stand out in the waitlist process to gain acceptance into my top choice program and I am extremely excited to attend in the fall. The most beneficial part of being a part of Premed HQ was the weekly meetings to help with essays. I applied to 17 research programs in Spring and 25 universities in Fall/Winter and my coaches helped me continually develop, revise and edit my essays in a total almost eleven month process with over 100 essays.”
