Dealing with Loss

Physician Assistants – In Whom We Place our Trust!

BY Stephen Pasquini PA-C Leave a Comment

I take care of a 6-year-old. She has the most beautiful smile you have ever seen, although that is not so hard to find on a 6-year-old, this one is different. You see I took care of her father Robert 1 year ago. He was under my care when we found out that he had […]

Testimonials

I wanted to let you know that I was accepted into MCPHS University’s Master of Physician Assistant Studies program for the Fall of 2019!! I wanted to thank you for all the help you provided in helping me prepare for my interview. Your guidance really helped me stand out as an applicant, and I felt that I was more than adequately prepared for the interview. All of the questions that I was asked in the interview were very similar to the questions that you asked me when we practiced, so my responses were much better because of your guidance. Thank you for the time that you spent helping me, and I wish you and your family all the best!

Erin Man, PA-S

Very helpful! Many of my responses needed fine tuning, some of them needed a bit more in-depth work, and a few of them hit the nail on the head. Feedback from an impartial professional like Sarah is crucial in figuring out what I’m doing right, what I’m doing wrong, and how I can improve moving forward. Thank you!

Brian ceballos, Pre-PA

Hope everything is going well! I just wanted to let you know I’m 2/2 so far with receiving interviews. I know your help with my essays has played a huge part. I just wanted to update you and tell you how grateful I am for all of your help!

John, Pre-PA

Stephen, Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your site very much and believe it is helping more than any other site I’ve used thus-far (I have done HippoPA, not bad, and Brian Wallace’s site). Will study some more, don’t feel ready yet! I’m an older PA, practiced for 18 years, have done the at home board tests the last two. I am nervous about taking the test center exam! Thanks again for your site, and the best to you!

Rebecca Lynch, PA-C

I love your site and think that it is the most enjoyable studying resource that I have use so far.

David PA-S

I’m a PA student graduating in December and taking my PANCE about 4 weeks from now. Your website has become one of my favorite study tools, so thanks for all your work in putting that together!

Caitlin Anderson, PA-S

I just want to let you know I received multiple interview invitations and got my first acceptance a few weeks ago! I am still preparing for more interviews, but at this point, I am pretty certain I will be going to Midwestern University, and I think so much of my success with applications is because of your help with my personal statement. Because of this, I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU! I really appreciate your support and I would definitely recommend this service to anyone applying to PA school 🙂

Alli Cowan, Pre-PA

Hi Ms. Edmondson,

I hope this email finds you well. I would like to thank you for your help with my PA school personal statement. I’m glad to share that I did get into my top choice – Drexel!

Ashley, Pre-PA

I just took my NCCPA PANRE test four weeks ago and PASSED! So just a quick thank you for developing such a complete and user friendly NCCPA PANCE and PANRE preparation program. As a Physician Assistant family man, and between work and daily responsibilities there is not much time to prep for the NCCPA exam, however this program was all I needed to help me succeed on my test. I would definitely endorse this program to any PA who needs to prepare for their upcoming NCCPA boards. Keep up the good work!

David Aponte, PA-C

I am so excited that I must share the amazing news I’ve got- I got accepted to physician assistant program at USC! I couldn’t be happier after this long journey of 6 years of hard work until this moment. I wanted to thank you so much for your help and advice. I appreciate your help so much.

Ravit Zargar Azizi, PA-S

I felt this mock interview was an absolute necessity to prepare for the Academic and Personal interviews from Yale School of Medicine PA Program Online. I felt the caliber of questions asked in addition to the coaching and post-question feedback really helped me understand what an ideal response looks like and gave me time to reflect and prepare my responses for the formal interview just two days later. I’m more than happy with Sarah’s professionalism, guidance, support, and feedback and will be recommending this service, as well as recommending Sarah by name, to future Pre-PA students.

Jacob A. Pre-PA

I am so happy to tell you that I got into my choice of PA school here in MI! As a matter of fact, since our mock interview, I have gotten into 3 programs! I must say the prep I had with you adequately prepared me for these interviews. I want to say another BIG THANK YOU.

Oluseyi Sotade, PRE-PA

I love your site and think that it is the most enjoyable studying resource that I have use so far!

David Ortega Endahl, PA-C

I have an interview coming up beginning of December. Will definitely be checking out your website for tips and inspiration! Thanks again!

JessicaPA-S

Mr. Pasquini was very patient, accommodating and direct in his editing/advice. He was honest, in a way that I needed due to the importance of the letter. I even picked up a few tips to enhance my writing from our meetings. Great experience and will definitely recommend him to others!

Alana P. Pre-PA

I was very pleased with this service. Writing has never been my strongest area. While I had the ideas that I wanted to convey I wasn’t able to articulate them as well as I’d hoped. Carly provided comments and suggestions without altering my central thesis. Any questions that I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. Any grammatical mistakes were also addressed which put my mind at ease. I would recommend The PA Life personal statement essay revision service to anyone applying.

Keith G, Pre-PA

This was the most amazing experience! I felt so confident about my topic and essay after our meeting. Duke got back to me quickly and worked around my crazy schedule. The editing of the essay was professional and gave me insight I could not have received any other way. I only applied to one school because it is really the one I would like to go to the most and I got an interview!!! Thank you so much for all of your help!

Kathryn R, PA-S

We worked on my essays back in summer and oh, how much work it was! But it all paid off because I just got accepted into the school of my first choice! Thank you so much for your time and dedication to my success. I will also be glad to recommend your services to other pre-PA students at my school!

Jennifer, H Pre-PA

First of all, thank you so much for all of the resources you have made available for those of us studying for the PANRE! This is fabulous and wish I’d known about it sooner.

Kristin F. PA-C

I want to say that my first-round interview went phenomenal and I am beyond thankful that I scheduled this mock interview with Sarah. She really helped me feel less nervous and confident in my answers. Her advice was very helpful and I will take the lessons that I learned with me for future interviews. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone with even the slightest bit of nervousness and doubt. It is worth the time and money

Kristyn, Pre-PA

I worked closely with Duke and Sue for the revisions on my personal statement. They must have edited my original version half a dozen times before they felt it was good enough to send off and never made it seem like an inconvenience. They always responded to my e-mails within a 24-hour time frame but usually got back to me within a few hours. I am very pleased with how my personal statement turned out thanks to all of their time, ideas and direction. The service the PA Life provides is well worth the money spent!

Michelle Murphy, PA-S

Thank you again for your help, support, and positive energies! Whenever I feel down, I just read some of your past emails and my personal statement, and I re-center my thoughts.

Lina Sims, Pre-PA

I felt our mock interview was an absolute necessity to prepare for the Academic and Personal interviews from Yale School of Medicine PA Program Online. I felt the calibre of questions you had asked me, in addition to the coaching and post-question feedback, really helped me understand what an ideal response looks like and gave me time to reflect and prepare my responses for the formal interview just two days later.

During my interviews I was asked plenty of questions I didn’t have a prepared response to (and I had combed through tons especially in the days following our mock interview!) I can say that I answered each question genuinely, authentically, and showed both interviewers the best version of myself. I didn’t stammer or lose my place, and I felt confident in my words and expressions. I don’t think I would have been as comfortable, calm, or confident without having accepted your guidance and feedback and learned from our time together.

Gratitude for your words, encouragement, and support is an understatement. Thank you, Sarah!

Best Regards,
Jacob

Jacob, PRE-PA

The service provided was excellent. I really appreciate Duke taking the time and reviewing my essay multiple times and at that same time, making sure I am comfortable with the wording. Thank you for all your help!

Foram Patel, Pre-PA

Just found your site today while trying to update my resume. Also, I have to recertify next year so your tests are great for a refresher course. I was in a specialty area of medicine so I now realize how much I forgot in the past 5 years. Thank you very much and I will pass on to other PAs.

Pattie Solomon PA-CNorTh Miami Florida

Just passed my PANRE. I wanted to say that it was entirely due to your review material and podcasts. Thanks!

Shaun Johnson PA-C

Sarah was so sweet, very insightful, and extremely helpful. I feel like we accomplished a lot, and she gave me some excellent ideas for how to improve. This is an amazing service, I’m so happy I took advantage of it. Thank you!

Tessa, Pre-PA

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that I got accepted to UC Davis, and have accepted their offer. I can’t thank you enough for your help through this process. I owe much credit to you and your amazing editing skills in helping me get in. With endless appreciation!

Jolene Duthie

I was accepted. Thanks for the info and the good vibes Stephen!

Erica PA-S

Sarah is truly amazing! She gave me so many helpful tips and advice for my future interviews. She has a beautiful way with words. I am so grateful for her and look forward to working with her again.

Kiara B. Pre-PA

Sue is so incredibly kind! I needed so much help on cleaning up my personal statement and overall flow of the writing. She provided great insights and explanation.

Laila, Pre-PA

Sarah was beyond amazing, she was always on time with my essay edits, took the time needed to really listen to what I had to say. Sarah pretty much transformed my essay form caveman style to an easy, awesome flow good content easy and fun to read essay. I am very thankful for her collaboration, I could not have done anything that resembles her quality of work. Thanks a million!!!!

Jerry C, Pre-PA

Sue was great! She edited my essay in a short time frame and the comments and feedback were very informative. She helped link all of my main ideas and gave great advice regarding appropriate information for the essay. I highly recommend this service.

Michelle, Pre-PA

This is just a great service overall, because not only is it an editing service, it is specific to the PA personal statement. Sue did a wonderful job editing my essay, and pointed out important flaws in it that I otherwise might not have noticed. Her edits highlighted the main points that I was trying to get across in a much better way than I had originally written. Overall, very satisfied with the results, and will have to keep you updated about the interviews. Thanks so much!

Sabrina L. Pre-PA

Sue Edmondson was instrumental to my understanding of the entrance essay I was trying to write as well as very honest and positive. I loved her writing technique and her instructive points were very easy to understand. Most definitely will recommend as well as keep her in my contacts for possible future essay revision/help. Thank you.

Vladimira, Pre-PA

I’m so happy with the amount of time and attention that Duke and Sue put into helping perfect my essay. I’m extremely fortunate to have come across Stephen’s page and this opportunity- I would have sent in an essay that unknown to me at the time, had issues and needed many improvements. I’m almost to the point where I’m going to submit my application, and will definitely update the team on prospective interviews. I cannot thank you guys enough for having this essay review service available, you definitely make it worth every dollar and more.

Tiffany Ly, Pre-PA

I wanted to say thanks for your podcast! I am really enjoying the questions and subsequent explanations! Your podcasts give me some good quality time in the car, while I have downtime at work, and while I’m at home. I really appreciate the time you’ve put into the podcast.

Ashley N. Schnell, PA-C

Your review was excellent and helped me pass my PANRE Last month. Thank you

Melissa Beck RPAC

With the help of Smarty PANCE and several other books and study guides I took my PANRE on October 2018 and beat my PANCE score by an additional 250 points! Thanks again for creating such a wonderful product!

Dan Nichols PA-C

Thank you Stephen for your website. I passed the panre! Praise god!

Katherine Phan Yee, PA-C

Hi Stephen, I would like to first say thank-you for being so open and transparent with what you write on this website. Reading your post, “Why my Wife is Happy I am a Physician Assistant and not an MD”, was like looking directly into a mirror of my life.

Christopher CorveyPre-PA

I’ve been telling everybody that I come into contact with about the incredible value of your service and that I directly attribute your editing as a reason I got into two schools this academic cycle and received 8 invitations to interview. All the best! Read more at http://www.thepaessay.com

Jeremy Cohen Pre-PA

The edit that I received from Sue was exactly what I was hoping for. She was able to tighten up my draft beyond my personal skill level and made edits that I was would have never thought to make. She has definitely made my personal statement stronger. Thank you, Sue!

Ethan, Pre-PA

Hi Stephen,

I want to thank you. You have been a great inspiration to my husband, Travis. Travis has mentioned numerous articles you have written, and I have been sent many links from your website.

I especially liked, “Why My Wife is Happy I am a Physician Assistant and not an MD.” Travis used this article as a reference during his interview process. Travis was questioned, “Why, with [his] excellent GPA and background, did [he] not pursue Medical School?”

Travis’ first interview was January 14th with Loma Linda University.

He received a call the next day for acceptance to their Physician Assistant program! Western University of Health Sciences, in Pomona, also granted him an interview for February 6th.

Britni

I was very pleased working with Duke on my personal statement. I’m currently in the middle of applying to PA school, so I haven’t heard back from the programs. I’m looking forward to the experience though.

John R. Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know I was accepted to Mercy College’s PA Program last night! To say I’m ecstatic is an understatement! I wanted to thank you once again for all of your help with my essays and my interview. You helped me so much with everything and I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for everything.

Anna Mantikas, PA-S

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping me with my personal statement. I have been accepted at Cornell, and will most likely be entering their program in March 2017. I have also received interview offers from Wake Forest, Duke, Pitt, Quinnipiac, Oregon Health Sciences, and Chatham so far. I am happy to share my success up to this point, because I would not be in this position without your guidance, wisdom, and talent.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with you, and I am profoundly grateful for your help. I wish you all the best in the future.

Stephanie Dwyer, PA-S

This is Tyler. I hope you remember helping me with my essay back in May. As promised, I wanted to update you with news of my PA school journey and I am excited to tell you that I was accepted to Stony Brook’s PA program!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for helping me write an essay that was truly reflective of who I am as a candidate and as a person! It played a pivotal role in this whole nerve-racking process and has helped me achieve a major life goal. You are a godsend to Pre-PA students.

Tyler, PA-S

I am not sure if you remembered me, but you helped me exactly a year ago with my PA essay. Well, I got accepted into Barry’s PA program! I start this Monday. You were part of my journey and I wanted to say THANK YOU!

Catalina Bulla, PA-S

Sarah was extremely helpful and helped me get more comfortable answering questions while face-to-face with a professional. I have two interviews coming up, and hopefully more later this year!

Marshall W. Pre-PA

I took my PANRE and I passed! I really liked your review website. It was very helpful. I only wish I would have discovered it months ago, while preparing for the PANRE. This is my 4th time passing in my career, and I now qualify for not having to recert until 10 years from now. Thank God! but will remember your site and recommend it to others.

Thanks again,

Maureen

Maureen Kilrain PA-C

I am very pleased with the services provided! I received an email almost immediately upon submitting my essay for review, and within 24 hours my essay review was completed. I would definitely recommend this service to any PA school applicant before they submit their essay to CASPA! Thank you for your help!

Hannah Watson, Pre-PA

Thank you so very much for your reaching out to me. I will take your advise to heart. Your words of encouragement mean so much to me! Many thanks again for taking the time!

Diana DiazPre-PA-S

Firstly, thank you. I take my boards tomorrow and was a mess until I reviewed your exams. The humor was great and really helped to ease my tension. Keep up the great work!

Marilyn OteroPA-C

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your encouraging posts. I cannot tell you how many times I have had a rough day, or something happened to discourage me, and then I read one of your posts & it reminds me of why I am where I am, and doing what I am doing. I appreciate you giving of yourself to help others, after all, it is why we are all here!

Amber Wood BarnardPA-S

Sarah is an excellent Interviewer. She encourages her interviewee all along and calms them down. She guided me every step of the way and gave me on the spot feedback. They were very helpful. She taught me to be empathetic and showed me the steps in very helpful and practical ways. She gave me awesome links, which have helped me prepare even more. I am building confidence. I am 100% satisfied with the PA Life mock interview service.

Ram Sundar Aryal, Pre-PA

I am extremely pleased with this service. It is exactly the kind of constructive criticism I was hoping to receive. I had my essay reviewed by “myparesources” and was not very satisfied with their general comments. Sue put a lot of time and effort and gave me concrete examples of how to change my essay for the better. I WILL recommend this service over all others. Thank you so much!

Joe, Pre-PA

I really felt the person who edited my essay, Sue Edmondson, took the time to get to know me as a person because she wanted my essay to reflect exactly who I am. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the edits and revisions she has given me along with the reasoning behind each revision.

Nicala, Pre-PA

I am writing this because I wanted to share with you that I have been accepted to the University of Iowa PA program. I would like to once again thank you for your insight and guidance while writing my personal statement, it came at just the right time.

Eugene V.PA-S

Very prompt response and turnaround time. While I did not speak with Duke over the phone, his team’s edits were thorough, clear and very helpful. Highly recommended.

Dave H. Pre-PA

Sarah was excellent! She was supportive, helpful and she gave me great tips! I feel more confident about my answers and I know what to work on. I’m happy I did this 😀👍🏼

Lora K, Pre-PA

I absolutely love the way my essay sounds! I truly appreciate all of your help. I will definitely recommend prospective PA students your way! It’s been a pleasure.

Natalie, Pre-PA

Thank you for every bit you do to help people maneuver through the PA life. And, especially for the book!

Scott J. Huber Pre-PA

I’m not sure if you remember me but you helped me a couple of months ago on my PA personal statement. Just wanted to let you know — I got accepted into University of Pacific’s PA program! I’m overjoyed!

Thank you so much for all your help and encouragement! I really appreciate it.

Jennifer MurphyPRE-PA

I LOVED the suggestions Carly made for my essay. Not only was she thorough with her edits, but she also provided a lot of quality feedback that really made my essay shine. Carly took my unedited, messy essay and helped me better convey what I was trying to say. I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience and feel this service was worth every penny.

Rachel, Pre-PA

Sue did a wonderful job. I know this is an extremely busy time of year as CASPA is accepting applications and Sue was great about responding to my initial submission and getting back to me. She provided thoughtful feedback and quality editing. Fingers crossed for an acceptance to PA school!

Jo Lynn, Pre-PA

Just wanted to say thank you for your speedy and encouraging reply. I forwarded this on to some of my classmates as well, just as a nice pep-talk before we head into this new chapter. You rock!!

DaniellePA-S

This is my 4th PANRE, I graduated 25 yrs. ago as a surgeon assistant and physician assistant. I have spent the last 20 years on a H+P service and I started my medical career as a USMC corpsman. The USMC uses the accolade OUTSTANDING, your entire program is such , the attention to details to the answers, the 230 plus pages on PDF, the flash cards, your program built my confidence BIG TIME, Jesus has richly blessed my life BECAUSE of you , I never have to take this brutal exam again and can retire at 66 yrs old you played a prodigious part in me passing amen!!!

David Gavin PA-C

Your services have eased the stress and anxiety that results from guessing whether or not your essay contains the content that many PA programs are looking for. Your services were prompt and genuine. It is clear that you have the applicants success at heart. Thank you!

Madison Holtz

I was at a point where I kept reading my essay over and over again and not knowing what to change. After Sue looked over and thoroughly edited the essay, I had a completely new focus! I knew exactly what to tweak and her service really cleared up any uncertainty I had with my essay. I’m now much more confident as I finish up my CASPA applications!

Julia Spalding, Pre-PA

I am currently a student applying to Physician Assistant programs, and I just wanted to explain how much you have helped me in putting together my application. I luckily stumbled across your website and found myself reading the entire forum as well as the provided additional websites. In doing so, you have clarified many questions that I have remained unanswered on my journey through the application process. Words cannot express how grateful I am that you have made your experience available to myself and my peers. Thank you and I wish you much happiness and success in your endeavors

Kristi Russo Pre-PA

I just wanted to update you that I got waitlisted for Drexel but accept to Dominican University of California. I still have other interviews coming up. Thank you for your help!

Karmen Wu, Pre-PA

Just took and passed the PANCE!! I breezed through the test and scored well. Your course was a huge help in preparing. Both knowledge and test-taking skills. I would highly recommend this to others.

Karen Hendricks PA-C

Susan did a fantastic job of editing my essay! She guided me and gave me suggestions for strengthening certain sections and equally took out weak parts. After I followed her recommendations, I really felt like I had an essay where every sentence mattered and reflected who I was. Thank you so much Susan for your help. I feel that I have a stronger essay because of your honest feedback and your help!

Amanda, Pre-PA

Carly was incredible! Her prompt edits were extremely helpful, and I will definitely provide updates on the status of my application later down the line!

Audrey, PRE-PA

The interview was a perfect amount of constructive criticism and a confidence booster. I would highly recommend this service to anyone!

Melissa, Pre-PA

I really respect your advice and the good example that you set as a PA and as a husband and father. You’re great!

SamPre PA-S

I graduated from PA school in May and failed my first attempt at the PANCE in July. I was not nearly as prepared as I should have been and in the following 90 days, I developed into a completely different PA. I listened to all of your podcasts, took every practice test (at least once), and got both the daily question emails and the daily eponym emails. My second attempt at the PANCE was earlier in October and I went into it with so much more confidence than I had after receiving the news that I failed the first time.

I really appreciate all the work you do to make studying for the PANCE fun… well at least tolerable… and I will definitely recommend your program to next years graduating class.

Thank you! thank you! thank you!

Christopher M., PA-C

By completing the mock interview I was able to gain the confidence I needed to perform well on my interview date. Throughout my interviews, I was complimented on my strong interviewing skills and I attribute that to the mock interview I completed. I have now received an offer from my dream school and I can’t wait to start in August of next year!

Katie Rose, PA-S

I really needed help with my personal statement. I wrote many copies and finally sent my favorite to the PA life to get some assistance editing. I thought I would have a hard time with the constructive criticism because I spent so much time already on my writing, but the editors were great in suggesting edits and why as well as complimenting appropriately. I’m very proud of my end product and am excited to send it to PA schools. I haven’t finalized my application yet but will definitely let the PA life know if and when I get an interview (or hopefully 2)! 🙂

Bailey B. Pre-PA

This is the absolute best way to prep for the PANRE. I have worked as PA-C since 1999. Family Practice is my area of expertise. My first time I decided not to study and take the test and see how I would do. I barely missed passing the test. A little frustrating but not a big deal. Now it is time to study. I looked at a number of systems and decided to use SmartyPANCE and the PA Life Academy. I did modify it by just taking test questions over a two month period and allowing the questions to teach me. I easily passed and improved my score by over 50 points. My take away is to continue the daily questions Stephen sends out and then taking tests and researching areas I need to shore up. Thanks Stephen for a practical approach to PANRE.

Gregory Bickel, PA-C

Having my essay edited proved extremely helpful. I was having trouble connecting my thoughts, and the edit helped so much. I haven’t found out about acceptance yet. I’m just now about to submit my application!

Amber, Pre-PA

I can’t begin to explain how thrilled I am to have stumbled on this service. Like many other PA applicants, I was unsure of whether I was on the right track with my personal narrative. Reading Stephen’s two different PA school application essays showed me how to come up with something unique and creative, but the private personal statement review really made my essay shine.

Duke was so kind and helpful in helping me understand what admissions committees look for in a strong essay. Our phone conversations were so thorough, as we read through and discussed every word in my essay. Sue’s guidance helped me cut out the fluff to reach the character limit.

Melissa T. Pre-PA

It was so helpful to hear feedback and critiques on my answers. I definitely believe my answers will be stronger after my mock interview. It was also helpful to receive some encouragement. It definitely boosted my confidence going into my interviews! I would recommend this service to anyone applying to PA school!

McKenna, Pre-PA

My mock interview experience last night was so more helpful than expected. I was able to use the Zoom software that I will be using for my interview as well, and Ms. Schultz provided me with very valuable feedback and suggestions. I feel much more confident and prepared for my upcoming interview.

Carson Powell, Pre-PA

I owe you a lot! Thank you so much for helping me in this important process. God bless you.

Catalina, Pre-PA

Carly did an absolutely amazing job editing my essays. From my personal statement to my supplementals, she was thorough and methodically made them into stronger essays. I am glad I was able to work with her. With her edits, I am more confident about the essays I am submitting. I would gladly recommend her to anyone!

Jacob, PRE-PA

Hello Stephen! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help and guidance throughout my years as an undergraduate. I have always turned to your website for advice and tips, guidance and support in this PA process and I’m proud to say that I was recently accepted into a great program! Your stories have influenced me to take this journey and to retain confidence that I am exactly where I’m meant to be! Going into the process I thought that I would have no chance and would have to reapply at least another 2-3 times before making it, but your own experiences helped me avoid mistakes and learn from my own. I worked throughout college so I never had much time for extracurricular pre-PA clubs, your website was probably the best substitute. You made a huge impact in my life, and I’d like to let you know that your website is amazing and well worth the time and effort that you put into it. Thank you again and God bless. – Tonya

Tonya Darghali PA-S

An amazing experience. Glad to have worked with Duke. He did his best, and it was very enjoyable.

Anand T. Pre-PA

This service was invaluable – I felt decent about my essay, but it’s remarkably better. I appreciate the level of detail and courtesy even with my discounted rate. You guys are too great!

Taylor Hamstra, Pre-PA

I wanted to let you know how this application season was going for me so far.

I’ve had two interviews, still have at least three more scheduled, and I received my first acceptance last week.

Thank you again for your help!

Nancy Peterson, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know that I got accepted to the first school I interviewed at! I am so grateful for you helping me to feel more confident on the interview day. Thanks for all you do!!

Haley, Pre-PA

Sue was a huge help with my essay. Her edits made my essay sound much better grammatically and she pointed out some content problems I completely missed. She prompted me to write a few more paragraphs before her edit and added the information into my essay. That made a big difference. She was very knowledgable about what PA programs were looking for. I am really happy with your service. Worth every penny, THANKS!

Megan Stephenson, Pre-PA

AMAZING EDITS. Really opened my eyes to a new perspective of what a personal statement should really be like!

Jasmine, Pre-PA

I worked with Duke to edit and complete my essay. It was a terrific experience that I would recommend to everyone! Duke has an amazing ability to help you move things around and change it a little, while still making it feel like 100% your own work. We talked out every change we made, and we both conceded to each other in different places. He made extra time for me when I got stressed out about the deadline, and worked with me for a while each time we sat down. I paid $199 for this service, and I think that was the best bargain I ever got! I have been invited back to submit supplemental applications to some schools, and I will keep the team updated about my interviews. Thanks Duke!!!

Thank you for your help and the resources you linked me to, I will keep studying and keep you informed on my progress, I hope one day to help a student like myself pass and enter a great profession.

I just wanted to let you know that I was totally accepted into my top choice program! I got one interview request and one acceptance! Thank you so very much for helping me prepare for my interview. It was way more challenging than the year before and I don’t think I would have been able to get in if you hadn’t helped me find the line between personable and professional. I value your feedback and am eternally grateful!

Sarah is always a pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend her enough! So far I’ve received an interview and made it to the second phase of admissions with Stanford!

Duke made some important modifications to my essay and offered several helpful suggestions. I appreciated his insight and a keen eye.
