“When I first started working with Jill, I was experiencing a lot of self-doubt about the strength of my medical school application. Immediately, she became my biggest cheerleader and helped me craft a meaningful personal statement. With each round of revisions, I watched my story come to fruition, truly answering the question “Why medicine?” – a question that is often overlooked by even the most competitive applicants. Based on feedback from various medical school admissions committees, I can confidently say that my personal statement elevated my application, resulting in multiple interviews and acceptance offers. Overall, Jill turned my past experiences and initial ideas into a powerful personal statement that set me well on my way to achieving my goal of becoming a doctor!”
