I am grateful to Mike for his reviews of my essays. He helped improve my writing style and changed the structure of my sentences without changing the story I wanted to convey. With his help, I greatly improved and got accepted to 2 PA schools.
It was a long and tiring process, but I received my first acceptance today! It was all worth the hard work and long hours I put in. The help from Inspira was amazing. The feedback, material, and interview sessions were all stellar. Thank you again!
Nicholas is an expert in PA school consulting, and his unique approach helped me land interviews at top schools. He was there to guide me through the whole process, and his feedback helped me improve my responses. He was key to helping me get accepted.
Feedback from Inspira was amazing. I received critical and constructive feedback on the essays. There were multiple topics during our brainstorming sessions that I had thought of as not important enough to be included in my essays. However, after these sessions, I could see how much relevance they brought once I put them all together. Really thankful to Inspira for all the help!
Nidhi helped guide me through each step of the PA school admissions process. All her sessions ended with a clear action plan with a deadline. This helped me feel confident in her guidance and feedback. I was able to follow up on our plan and ended up getting accepted to 3 schools!
Ralph was instrumental to my PA school applications. He helped me prepare the project plan for the whole process and tracked the progress during each 1 to 1 sessions. Great material and reviews not only from the mentor but also from the writer and other experts. Happy with the services from Inspira!
The feedback from Sara helped me improve my essays and interview responses and kept me motivated through the process - it was direct and always to the point. This helped me gain the confidence I needed to ace my interviews, and I was ultimately accepted into two of my top choices!
Nidhi is highly experienced in CASPA applications and the PA school admission process. She advised me on how to improve my application. I was able to apply to my dream schools without much hassle and stress. Thanks a lot for all the support!
Based on my undergraduate GPA, I was not confident about the PA school admission process. I didn't know what to expect in the coming months and was full of anxiety. Nidhi answered all my questions and helped me guide through the process. Her feedback was very constructive and useful and helped me get through the whole process smoothly.
