Sebastian was always quick to respond to my emails. He helped me with the PA school application process, including school selection. I was on the waiting list for two schools, and one was eventually accepted later, thanks to Inspira's waitlist support. I’m very happy with the service I received!
Well-structured and critical review sessions with Sara make me wholeheartedly recommend her!
Seeing how my mentor dedicated two full sessions to discussing and brainstorming my personal story for the essays was great. Once I created the initial draft, we sat together with the writing expert to improve and make changes. It definitely helped me write better essays and my chances of admission. Thanks a lot, Inspira!
I was unsure about my PA school choices and wanted help finalizing my list. I found Inspira online and booked a consultation session. In the next few weeks, the experts helped me narrow my list based on my profile and school admission criteria. They had really good insights into every school's admission process, which I later used in my essays.
Applying to PA schools is a long process, and it helped to get support and advice from the experts at Inspira. They helped me through the CASPA process and helped me build and edit my application documents. I was able to improve a lot in a short time with their expertise.
Sara helped me practice for my PA school MMI interviews. She gave great insights, and I got accepted to two schools. Thanks for your compassionate support!
Starting was the most difficult part of the PA school application process. I couldn't gather my thoughts even to start my application. I heard about Inspira from a friend and thought I'd give them a shot. Would never regret this decision. With Sierra's, I could quickly get started with my essays. Appreciate all the help!
I had three coaches in total for my PA school application - one for pre-application, another one for the essays and CASPA, and a final one for the interview preparation. There were too many, but their insight and expertise helped overcome this issue. I would still recommend having a maximum of one or two coaches throughout the process to build better relationships with the mentors.
My daughter purchased the comprehensive package PA school consulting package from Inspira. It was nice to follow along with the process with regular updates from her mentor. I would definitely recommend Inspira's end-to-end coaching services.

Once you know which school(s) you wish to attend, use our free PA School Admissions Calculator to find out your chances of getting in!
PA school applications are long - you need to create a resume, personal statement, essays, short answers, and support recommenders for each institution. Getting to perfection takes time.
The exact time to get to the end state depends on a number of factors, including which schools you’re applying to, how good you are at writing and editing, and your personal commitments.
Through our PA school application help service, we have worked with successful clients who have spent two months on an application and we have worked with those that have started seven months before the application deadlines. That said, based on what we have seen in the past with applicants’ schedules and writing styles, we recommend starting at least three months before the deadline to maximize your chances of success.
Our mission is to help every candidate realize their true potential. When you graduate from PA school, we want you to look back and be proud of yourself for achieving your dreams. As such, we want to make sure that your financial circumstances are not a barrier to success.
In keeping with our mission, we provide a small number of partial and full scholarships to our applicants. These are awarded after you start working with us and are based on both professional potential and financial need. Please note, these scholarships are only available for our All-Inclusive Package.
That said, we also want to make sure you are working with the best team, and attracting top talent is expensive. Hence, we’re not able to provide scholarships to everyone. Your project manager can tell you more about scholarship opportunities after we start the engagement.
We understand that not all applicants need help with their entire application. For applicants who need PA school application help with only one or two aspects of their applications, we’ve broken down our all-inclusive offering into different phases of the application lifecycle such as final application review, interview prep, and more. Please check out this page for a list of all our offerings.
For applicants interested in a structured and rigorous preparation school, we have the complete end-to-end coaching service where you work with our top Graduate Coaches for an extended period of time. They create a personalized plan to help you set and achieve targets, giving you a leg up when you apply. Your Graduate Coach helps you identify gaps in your profile and fill them through targeted activities such as volunteering, research, academic coursework, and more. Schedule a call to learn more.
Our Graduate Coaches are selected through an extremely rigorous process. We make sure they are knowledgeable, smart, courteous, personable, and professional. Further, you are paired with a Coach based on your profile, background, and interests based on the information you provide through our comprehensive intake form.
However, it is very important that you get along with your Coach. The quality of your application is directly dependent on how well you get along with them. We’ve realized building a relationship doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to get to know each other, understand the candidate’s persona, and craft a strong application. We try not to prematurely undo progress by switching Coaches.
That being said, if you have any issues, email us at ceo@inspiraadvantage.com and our CEO will personally reply to you within 48 hours. Your success is our topmost priority and we will go above and beyond to make sure you get accepted at your dream school. This includes switching your Coach if needed.
Our project team consists of Graduate Coaches, Writing Experts, and former Admissions Committee members. You will work with a Graduate Coach, who will help you draft the perfect application. They are typically a PA who has served on an admissions committee, is an expert at storytelling, enjoys mentorship, and excels at helping candidates create compelling narratives.
They also make sure your grammar, tone, and sentence structure are in line with what business schools expect. You will also be assigned a Project Manager. Their role will be to ensure all deadlines are met and your application documents are submitted well in advance of the deadline.
Through our vast network of former admissions committee members, Graduate Coaches, and Inspira alumni, we are able to have our finger on the pulse and see what’s going on at top PA schools.
These insights are early and relevant, and they benefit you. We know before anyone else when and how the Admissions Committee at an institution is changing the intake criteria. We can use this to help craft a relevant story.
Only 3% of prospective Graduate Coaches and former Admissions Committee members we speak with each year make it on our team. We want to ensure that our applicants have the best experience, so choosing the right team members is of paramount importance to us.
We have a rigorous multi-step selection process. This includes personality fit, industry knowledge tests, and multiple real-life case simulations. Every member of our team is made to evaluate the applications of past candidates. This helps us evaluate the quality of their insights and communication skills. You can learn more about our selection process here.
We also conduct ongoing evaluations to make sure we are the right partners to help you fulfill your PA schools dreams.
Creating the right application requires time and effort. It is our duty to make sure every consultant is able to dedicate time and effort to your application.
The number of clients each consultant works with depends on the nature of their role and additional commitments within the firm. For example, the work of a Graduate Coach is very different from the work of a writing expert. Also, some of our team members help with tasks such as conducting research on PA schools or writing guides.
Some consultants might work with a small number of applicants who are applying to a lot of PA schools, whereas others might work with more applicants who are applying to fewer schools. You can rest assured that even though members of our team wear many hats, your success is our topmost priority. If we have to choose between losing a potential client or allocating less time to current clients, we will choose the former any day.
