| In my wildest dreams I never would have imagined that I would accomplish so much by contacting you… I will remain grateful for the rest of my life, Dr. Finkel.– RS, residency applicant
I just wanted to let you know that I am five for five!! Every last interview that I attended I was offered a spot in next year’s class- including my number one school! And, remember, I had interviewed and was wait listed four times in previous application cycles! My success is in no small part due to the session that I did with you… The… residency director…said that he was intrigued by my application, and was calling me because my personal statement was “one of the best he has ever read!” THANK YOU, MICHELLE FOR YOUR INPUT ON MY PERSONAL STATEMENT! Michelle, I hired your services… for the review of my personal statement, which was great, made my application stronger…I ended up getting 12 interviews for internal medicine in some very prestigious…programs, even [though] I applied so late…[and] I got a prematch offer in a very good University program, which I accepted. Thanks for your help and reassurance. Some of your proposed questions came up in the interviews exactly as you had phrased them–needless to say I nailed them!!! Your written feedback after our phone call was a wonderful reference for me as I was traveling to interviews. Michelle, thank you so much for your help. [In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] I matched to one of my top choices…. I believe anyone who uses your services will feel more confident and perform better during their residency interview. Thanks again. I have matched at my # 1 choice… once again THANK YOU for all of your help!!! Speedy response time as usual! I matched at Vanderbilt …woo hoo! Thanks for your help. Michelle, Really good stuff! I’ve published ten books and have used editors every time – and this is the best piece of editing I’ve seen. I am indebted to you, Michelle, for your help in preparing for my medical school interviews. You are certainly talented at what you do. I am as appreciative as I am amazed at how well you knew my background information and were able to discuss its details and synthesize them into responses. You have done much more than help me prepare; you have helped me gain confidence through my accomplishments and attributes. I feel as though you are at once a counselor, mentor and role model, and your help has far surpassed that of the medical career services at my Ivy League School. Thank you for the editing. Your input was invaluable and I am impressed with the results. This was the first time I used an editing service, so I was unsure of what to expect. The e-mail responses were quick and detailed; I really felt inspired to write in a focused and clear manner. The resulting essay was better than I could have expected; I would definitely recommend this service to my friends… [In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] I really think that my solid essay helped me get my foot in the door. Thank you again for all of your help. Just wanted to let you know that I matched in EM at [program name withheld]!! Unbelievable!! I can’t thank you enough for all of your assistance and helping me to write a personal statement that would stand out amongst the rest. All I needed was a chance to get in the door… Michelle, I would like to thank you for the great work you did for me on the essay. I have matched at Columbia University. Really appreciate it. I just found out I got into UCLA…Your help has been invaluable. Michelle, thank you for all of your help. After receiving 14 residency interview invitations, I…found the perfect program for me. [Program name withheld] offered me a pre-match position…Thanks again… I found the Insider Medical Admissions web page just two days before my first residency interview… Insider Medical Admissions arranged for a mock interview right away and provided written feedback only two hours later… It didn’t really matter whether a particular interview question had been part of the mock interview or not (almost all of them were, by the way). What mattered was that I had been provided with a framework of what I wanted the programs to know about me as well as an understanding of what makes the interviewer tick… [In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] I matched at my first choice program…so thanks so much again. You did a great job. Wonderful turn-around time! Wow!… Thanks so much Thanks again for all your help with residency interview preparation. Today was our match day and I got my first choice. My interviewer said to me ‘I really wish you can come to our school’ as I shook her hand at my NYMC medical interview, all thanks to your personalized mock interview. Over the phone, you were able to transform my seeming weakness into my inner strength. Afterwards, your customized notes guided me every step of the way, from mental preparation to the thank you card. You helped me focus on what’s critical and restore my confidence, which is really the Holy Grail of the interview process. Michelle, thank you so much again. I thought the [mock interview] session was very helpful; it helped me figure out how to highlight my strong points and also helped me form clear and well thought out answers. Highly recommend it. Well worth the money…[In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] I’m very excited. Thanks for all your help. I’ve reviewed your suggestions and incorporated them into the essay. I believe the present state of the essay is a significant improvement from the original. I must [attribute] this directly to your guidance. Every time I write you, I just have to thank you for all your help in my application process. You really have made a difference. I accepted the prematch offer…thank you once again for preparing me so well that I could get an offer after the first interview. Thanks Michelle! I think the Personal Statement sounds great! I also wanted to thank you for being able to get back to me so quickly….Great work! Thankfully I got the position I wanted that we prepared for last week. I can’t thank you enough for everything- what we worked on was very helpful. I’ve been admitted into Penn State, Medical College of Wisconsin and USC…. You were of tremendous assistance during my interview prep…perhaps even the sole reason I got accepted… I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for all the help you have offered. Your comments and the mock interview with you helped me so much. They asked almost whatever we worked on. Thanks for your help. [Regarding the editing services] Michelle, I don’t know how thank you for your great job…Thanks a lot for your quick response and your very helpful comments…You have done an amazing job! Thank you so much, Michelle….Beyond phenomenal job, tremendous heart, dedication, clarity and professionalism…You’re incredibly kind, gracious and professional. It’s truly a pleasure to work with you. Hey Dr. F , thanks for all the help….there is no question that [my personal statement] is a power house…It’s awesome…Any other person would be a waste of money because frankly, you are untouchable. I’m sure you hear this from every client but you have been a tremendous help both with your initial suggestions and the editing of the personal statement…I didn’t expect to be this proud of it. I matched at Mayo Scottsdale!! Thanks for all of your help. Thank you for the input; it truly was valuable and incredibly extensive. I am IMG applying for residency training program. I had Michelle’s editing service for both my personal statement and ERAS application. Her suggestions and comments helped – not only to improve my ERAS immensely – but also make it easily understandable for US trainees. Her help with my personal statement was invaluable and she improved it, emphasizing my strengths and achievements. I would recommend her service to anyone without any doubt. A professor of mine was reviewing my application and particularly liked my Personal Statement — so THANK YOU so much for your help with it. I really appreciate the practice and guidance I received during my mock interviews. I felt that your input and perspective were valuable in the building of my confidence in medical school interviews. As a result, I was able to present my best self to the medical school committee. Hi Michelle! I actually wanted my mom to take a look at my essay and just see if it represented me well…I showed her how much you had helped me and she was very shocked to see how you helped transform my initial draft into a cogent and concise personal statement….I truly appreciate all of your help and support! Your…suggestions have been invaluable and I cannot thank you enough. Michelle, thanks again for all of your help. I felt very lost several weeks ago, but feel more confident about the work I’m submitting. It was absolutely [a] pleasure working with you… I congratulate you for your honest and ethical practice. Thanks a lot for your help and diligence during this process. I really appreciate all of your recommendation[s]. Thank you so much for being so rapid in your response and detailed in explanation. Very helpful. I couldn’t have done this without your guidance. You knew exactly how I wanted to tell the story and you were editing the parts I was unsure about myself. Thank you for taking the time to guide me through the process. Michelle, I had my first two interviews… I felt confident and comfortable at both and am excited for my third… Once again, I am so glad I am working with you. Thank you so much for your help. I regretted that I [didn't] contact you earlier. You were well prepared. You highlighted my strong points and suggested how I could better express them in my interview. I really appreciated the session. I searched many websites but I connected with Michelle instantly because of her inside knowledge about medical profession and all of the positive feedback that she received from candidates who had used her services. Needless to say, she did a marvelous job editing my residency essays… She has the ability to turn my long-drawn-on sentences into magical phrases and to make my ready-to-make-people-yawn words come alive. She has the up-to-date knowledge about the style and the command of modern English usage….She always emailed back her comments and suggestions earlier than the time she had promised, yet the quality of her editing was far superior than I expected. I wished I had used her service for my medical school application in the past. I highly recommend her service to anyone who is seeking an additional edge to their applications for their medical career. The improvements we made to my personal statement and ERAS Common Application Form were excellent. Thanks, Michelle, for all of your help! You offered me direction for my essays and really knew what to focus on without changing my ideas…Thanks so much for your help! I can never thank you enough for your time and revisions…I was very happy to see how you made [the essay] sound better…so much better. Thank you so much again for your great help…It truly made my day Thank you for making these wonderful corrections. …Thank you for your advice…, which avoided a disaster. I…will definitely introduce you to my friends. I really appreciated your timely response and all the insider info you’ve given me. You will be highly recommended to any that requires such help. The interview was great…I could answer very easily because we had practiced together so much… Michelle, I really appreciate your help… It was the most important advice in my life. Within twenty-four hours of my medical school interview I received an offer of acceptance to my first choice school! …Thank you again for all of your guidance and wisdom. It was invaluable. I matched into my #1 choice and couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all your help. I had to beg and borrow to pay for your services, but they were well worth it, especially the mock interview. I definitely would have went into interviews differently…if not for your help and advice.

Michelle, I want to let you know that all of my LOR writers have mentioned how much they like the way my CV was organized. They have also loved my personal statement. Thank you so much. I can’t thank you enough. The mock interviews really helped me a lot. The program director asked me many of the same questions that we had discussed. It really boosted my confidence. Some of the program directors couldn’t believe that I was a foreign graduate! |
You have been absolutely wonderful! I know I paid for it, but it still felt like a deal. Your turn around time was remarkable, your suggestions were very helpful and the finished product was fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you…I can’t say enough…You did your job and then some.
– CD, medical school applicant I just got accepted at UCSD! …I just wanted to thank you very much for helping me through the process of applications and then preparing for interviews.

They were my first two interviews and they both contacted me on October 15th, the first day that they are allowed to make offers. I am so excited, so thank you so much for the wonderful preparations!

I interviewed for several awesome programs, but I am very excited that I got my top pick! I got into UPENN!!!!!!! Thanks sooo much!

I matched at …my number 1 choice! Thank you so much for all of your help! - Name withheld, residency applicant My daughter was so tired after her third year in medical school that she didn’t want to think about writing for her Residency Application. I decided a gift of professional assistance would be a good idea. I needed to find someone I felt I could trust and that had the students’ best interests at heart. I believe I found that in Michelle; she is personable, timely and dedicated. We ended up getting the triple package and it was well worth it…Schools just do not give enough advice to these dedicated science students whose futures may depend on how well they can write. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and amazing return times… the essay is a lot better now, and I could not have done it without you! I am super happy I did the mock interview with you.

Thank you very much for all of your support! Michelle, thank you for doing a fantastic job with all of the corrections. You made such great improvements with my personal statement and application. Roses – not always red/ but I know one to be true/ writing a Personal Statement is difficult/ and I am thankful to have you/ Happy Valentine’s Day Michelle I honestly felt so much more confident and prepared for my interviews after your help!

I promised I’d keep you updated, and I want to let you know how much you’ve helped…. I am very happy to have gotten a spot… at U. Michigan…. So, thank you!! …Three of the…people I interviewed with came straight out and commented how good they thought the personal statement was. I have never before been praised in regards to my personal statement, so I am sure that your services made a big impact. Match went great. I’m going to [program name withheld] for ortho (my first choice!) Thanks for your help! I got into UW today… Thanks a million for all of your… very valuable help. It was worth every penny. Thank you for helping me get to this point of acceptance to one of the top ten medical schools in the United States. Your support and editing made my application all the stronger and all the more unique, and I hope you know the impact you have made on my life. Thank you for your numerous emails and continuous support, but mostly thank you for helping me showcase my talents. Time and again, your comment, edit, and insight proved to be very useful and exactly what I need in my essay and application. You have really helped to polish my PS and application, and give me the upper edge in this process. You really were able to help me organize my PS so that it is clear and effective to the admissions committee. Thank you again for your help. The program director said, “…Your personal statement was very inspiring. It gave us a glimpse of the person that you are and we would love to know more about you.”…Being an international medical graduate, it was very important for me to distinguish myself… Your guidance did exactly that. I got into…MGH-BWH for Neuro. Thanks for all your help. I just wanted to personally thank you for the help you gave our daughter… She has received between 18-20 interview offers. [In a subsequent message after the applicant obtained a residency position]…We firmly believe that the help you give to young medical students gives them an edge on being considered and selected. Michelle, what I enjoyed most about working with you was your attention to every detail in my essay. You helped me personalize my writing and gave me feedback on what admission committees would want to know about me. And although we were really pressed with time, you managed to come through for me, making sure all my thoughts came across neatly. Although I am applying to post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs as of now, I cannot wait to seek your help and guidance during the medical school application process!…Again, thank you so much Michelle, I can’t say that I could have done…exceptionally well without you! [Regarding the strategy session] The thing I really appreciated was that you were well prepared. You highlighted my strong points and suggested how I could better express them in my application. You also pointed out my weaknesses and ways to overcome them. [Regarding the editing services] You gave excellent suggestions for my personal statement. You greatly improved the vocabulary and any grammar mistakes while at the same time maintained the content as I wanted it to be. [Regarding the mock interview] Interestingly you covered everything during the interview, or I should say more than I was asked in the actual interviews. [In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] The program for which I matched was my top most choice…I would definitely recommend Insider… I greatly benefited from it. Writing a personal statement for fellowship presented a greater challenge than those before it…The fellowship personal statement required really narrowing my focus, with less personal history to choose from. Dr. Finkel helped me to convert my essay from “generic rant” into a strong personal journey with a more concrete end-point. Her response time was very rapid when I needed it to be, and she was always in contact…This service is not just to correct grammar and sentence structure. Dr. Finkel works with her clients in a comprehensive fashion to help them be the best possible candidate. I would recommend her to anyone asking for help on their personal statement. Michelle, I wanted to let you know that I recently heard from VCU. I was offered a spot in the class and the doctor that interviewed seemed very impressed. Thank you very much for your help. Michelle, I will be attending Washington University in St. Louis. Luckily, [I] had come across Insider Medical Admissions website and got a chance to talk to Michelle. And I am so happy and grateful that I did. We…talked for a full hour… I had a ton of questions–she was very thorough in her explanations, and…helped me think of things in a new light that I had not thought about before. At the end of the conversation, I had all of the information that I…needed and I felt vastly more prepared for the residency process. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle’s services. She is an excellent mentor who really does care about you. I was blessed by her help. Thank you!!! Michelle, thank you so much for your quick response. You are as always very helpful! I feel like giving you a big hug… a big weight is slowly lifting off my shoulders… I really appreciate what you have done for me. Michelle, I appreciate all of the work you have done for me. THANK YOU…Definitely I [would] love to work with you again. Thank you so much for all of the help. I really feel much more polished and confident to do well in my interview after practicing with you! I was nervous for my first interview, but you made me feel very comfortable…and I feel ready to go into my interview and do well! …Thanks again! I am pleased with our [strategy] session yesterday and appreciate all your advice. It has provided me some direction and options to consider.

Your comments were in depth, you explained why you made the changes you suggested from an admissions perspective, and you were extremely fast and courteous! I will definitely recommend you to any friends who are interested in getting help with their personal statements. Dear Michelle, I am grateful for the opportunity to have mock-interviewed with you on two occasions. It helped me to better understand what to expect at my interviews and to prepare responses for a number of typical questions. Your strategies allowed me to maximize the impact of each brief encounter. Thank you so much for your help! Your assistance with my personal statement and AMCAS was extremely helpful. I received positive reviews all around regarding my essay, which transformed into something I was extremely proud of! [After obtaining a residency position] Thanks for the strategy session with me, it really helped me with preparing my application and personal statement. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to interview at a good number of schools and I am extremely appreciative of all of your help and guidance. Thanks again for continually expediting this process for me! Thank you for your…thorough revision/comments which were extremely helpful. You are the BEST… I really loved your comments…Dr. Finkel, Thanks for your quick response and thorough comments…I am absolutely satisfied I purchased this service. Michelle, it was helpful to get an understanding of how interviews are [conducted] and prepare myself in advance… [In a subsequent message after obtaining a residency position] I would recommend your service to a friend…Thank you. Michelle, I just had an informal meeting [with] a Program Director…He found the personal statement to be absolutely wonderful. Thank you for your invaluable help and recommendations. Michelle, thank you for all of your help! Especially expediting this for me. Looking back I realize how my first draft was generic and could have been…done by many. I would have submitted an entirely different essay! I definitely plan on seeking your help and guidance in the future. [After getting off the wait list and being admitted to medical school] Thank you very much for the assistance with writing letters [of intent] and interviewing. Learning how to “play the game” did not come naturally for me but proved crucial in standing out from the swarm of strong applicants. There is no doubt that you helped give me that final push I needed to succeed. I look forward to working with you when it comes time to apply for residencies. Thanks Michelle for your insight. I never knew how a candidate is judged and what are the critical points of a CV, personal statement and letter of recommendation…You have a great knowledge of the inner working of a residency program. A must for all [residency] candidates. You Rock Michelle. It has been a pleasure working with you. You have helped SO much. Thank you for the expert…editing…I am telling my niece who is starting medical school right NOW ABOUT YOU! … Again, you are TERRIFIC! Thanks again for your wonderful help. The [interview] practice session has definitely made me feel more grounded in my answers… Also, your written feedback is invaluable(!) I appreciate that you also took the time to know me as an applicant–as that individualized attention I think is what really makes your service unique and extremely helpful!! [After getting accepted into medical school]…My interaction with you really boosted my confidence, and I’m very happy with the way everything turned out. Thanks! Michelle! Thank you very much for your help. You are really boosted my confidence. I am glad I had a chance to talk to you and get a valuable lesson. Thank you for all of your help and advice. It has really helped my application. Thank you very much. The [mock interview] session and the [feedback] document are very helpful. I think I had a pretty good idea of what to expect [for interviews] and felt well prepared. Thanks so much for everything you’ve done to help me! …You were great! I was accepted EDP (Early Decision Program) into the Michigan State University MD Class…I am thrilled. Thank you for the help. I thought your suggestions were very helpful – thank you!…You really hit the nail on the head in terms of what I was trying to portray to my readers. Thanks a lot. My application looks so much better than before. Michelle, Thank you so much for your valuable advice. I agreed with everything and followed all of your changes. I love [the essay's] clarity now…Your help on the Personal Statement was invaluable and I’m very happy with the outcome…. – JB, medical school applicant Without Michelle’s guidance, I would have mulled over the details too long and never submitted the ERAS application on time. She took the anxiety out of applying with her great advice, solidly revised personal statement/CV and quick return of drafts. I can’t thank her enough!!…[After obtaining a residency position] Thank you so much for all of your help. I will recommend you to anyone that I come across in the future.
