One of the biggest challenges was deciding which and how many schools to apply to. I decided to go forward with Inspira after getting recommended by a relative. Based on my score and the initial discussions, they helped me finalize a list of schools and create a complete plan to apply to them in the coming weeks. I am happy with their services and would recommend them further.
Good preparation material and helpful reviews to improve my application. Helped me get accepted to Cornell!
Inspira helped me with the TMDSAS application process. They ensured all the documents were prepared correctly and submissions were done on time. My counselor shared suggestions for improvements and critical reviews. This helped me secure acceptance to 2 vet schools.
Would definitely recommend the complete end-to-end package from Inspira. They helped me brainstorm and VMCAS application to interview prep. Without their help, I could not present my candidature in the best suitable manner. They had experts from admission committee members who fine-tuned the application to create superb application documents.
My mentor, Chris, was a DVM from Cornell. His insights helped me improve my essays and overall application a lot. Later, I also did interview prep with Inspira. It was equally good! Would recommend their services to other applicants.
