Graduate and Professional School Reviews

"Elizabeth’s guidance was instrumental in the success of my MD-PhD applications. I was immediately struck by her diligence and dedication to thoroughly understanding my application and long-term goals. She has a remarkable talent for transforming rough ideas and scattered drafts into compelling, authentic writing that truly reflect my strengths as a candidate. I would work with her again in a heartbeat for her writing expertise alone.

One of Elizabeth’s greatest strengths as an advisor is her honest, constructive approach—she consistently identified areas for improvement and provided clear, actionable opportunities to enhance my application. For example, she helped me identify a remote, patient-centered volunteer job that fit in with my demanding full-time work schedule. Her encouragement was also pivotal in my decision to take gap years, a choice that ultimately made me a much stronger applicant and helped me gain admission to my dream program.

Elizabeth combines a highly professional approach with a genuine personal investment in her clients’ success. Her support goes far beyond the typical advising experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating the medical school admissions process."

"When researching opportunities for assistance with my medical school candidacy, Elizabeth's transparency and personalized approach stood out, in addition to her curated list of clients. Throughout the entire process, from speaking about my motivations to pursue a career in medicine, to preparing for interviews, Elizabeth provided meaningful opportunities for me to engage with weaknesses in my application and highlight my strengths. Her candor, and sincere drive to see all of her clients succeed, meant that I never felt as if I was "going it alone" during the oftentimes uncertain medical school application process. While there are many resources that claim to support applicants throughout the cycle, Elizabeth provides counseling that is personalized to your unique profile as an applicant. 

If I were to apply to medical school again, the only thing I would change is seeking out her invaluable advice sooner!"

"I am deeply grateful to Elizabeth for helping me develop a genuine and truly memorable personal statement that weaved together my meaningful experiences in a way that naturally showed the reader how law school was the next logical step to reach my career goals.

Because of full time employment and financial limitations, I had limited resources to prepare for the LSAT. Elizabeth was extremely helpful in helping me to add a statement that showed how my test scores did not reflect my true potential and readiness for the rigors of a law school.

I wound up with multiple acceptances, each included scholarship money to help me reduce student debt, which is the main obstacle."

"I want to let you know that I have decided to attend Chapman University this fall to participate in their Pre-Pharmacy program. I am truly thankful for all you have done to help me get to this point. It was a pleasure working with you over the past few years!"

"When I decided to go to veterinary school, I was intimidated by everything I had heard about the competitive admissions process. I knew I was meant to work with animals, but the steps to get there seemed very daunting. Elizabeth helped me realize that the process was something that I could conquer! She prioritized getting to know me, my background, and my goals first, and then worked with me extensively to put my best foot forward in each of my applications. She was extremely honest about everything I came to her with, even if that meant telling me something I didn’t want to hear. When it finally came time to submit everything, I felt much more confident about the process, and was actually excited to start hearing back from schools.

As I started to hear back from schools, Elizabeth continued to make herself available to me for questions and admissions updates even though our contract had ended. She was committed to helping me understand the machinery of vet school admissions, even though the application portion itself was over. I am so grateful to have someone so knowledgeable, honest, and enthusiastic on my side throughout this past year! Because of Elizabeth’s guidance, I was accepted to Tufts, UPenn, K state, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon state. I visited my top three campuses, and I ultimately chose Kansas State University due to the quality of the program that totally fits my goals and needs as well as the in-state tuition!"

"I want to thank you for your thorough analysis of my readiness for vet school. I have embraced your recommendations, and I am taking a microbiology course at Oklahoma State University. After further researching the list of schools of veterinary medicine you developed for me to look into, I found your recommendations to be spot on. I am also looking into a lead for getting large animal experience. Your analytical expertise and steady hand gave me the fresh start I needed at an important transition point in my life. I am thankful and will be in touch when it is time to apply."

"I want to thank you for your thorough vet school admission analysis and next steps for our son. He has embraced your recommendations and this will be his third week in the Microbiology course at Oklahoma State University! This would not have happened without you. After researching various veterinary schools he said your recommendations were spot on. He is now confident in moving forward following the path which you have set out for him. I can’t thank you enough for getting my son on track for vet school."

"Elizabeth truly went above and beyond to support me throughout the long and stressful medical school application process. She spent time reviewing all the supplemental material and essays I sent her in great depth to help craft a personal statement that best captures my strengths and unique attributes as an applicant. Although we were never physically together to work on my application, she was always very responsive and reliable with her communication through phone calls and emails.

In addition to her helpful comments on all my primary essays and activities section, Elizabeth also helped polish all the minor grammatical errors and check the overall flow of my writing. Even after I had submitted the essays, Elizabeth showed no hesitation in sending me additional material to best prepare for my interviews. She has been very understanding and accommodating throughout the cycle, and I could not express my gratitude enough. I highly recommend working with Elizabeth to anyone applying to medical school!"
