The PA Life Mock Interview Service - Testimonials, Reviews, and Success Stories

I could not be more pleased with my mock interview with Sarah. She provided me with extremely valuable, personalized insight and helpful tips that bolstered my confidence and guided my preparation for my upcoming MMI interview. It was very evident from the start that Sarah is well-versed and highly experienced in this field. She was able to answer all my (many) questions with ease, she consciously formulated her constructive criticism in a positive way, and her kind, compassionate, and thoughtful delivery was very much appreciated during this stressful time. This hands-down will be the best investment that I have made in my interview preparations. I am extremely grateful for her time and services and will be recommending her to future applicants!

Nicole, Pre-PA

My experience with Sarah and The PA Life Mock Interview Service was exceptional. She gave me excellent feedback and provided significant constructive criticism of my responses. I sometimes have trouble being vulnerable and suffer at times from nervousness. Sarah reacted very kindly and allowed me to gather myself. Sarah provided invaluable feedback on some of my responses that could use improvement, and I look forward to my in-person interview, where I can use her shared wisdom to my advantage. Her advice was incredible, and I recommend this service to any other PA applicants out there!

Melanie Diaz, Pre-PA

Sarah was wonderful! The mock interview really helped to calm my nerves before any of my interviews, and Sarah really helped me figure out how to get across what I wanted to say! She gave me excellent feedback on my answers and I would recommend this service to anyone applying to PA school.

Sneh, Pre-PA

I’m emailing you to let you know that I received an acceptance call yesterday! It’s my first cycle applying so I’m still in shock. This may sound weird to say, but you have been a part of my journey since the beginning when I was trying to figure out how to write my personal statement, to practicing for the interview that led to my acceptance. I genuinely believe that I would not have been accepted into the program if it weren’t for you.

Anthony, PA-S

I just wanted to update you on my PA school process after my two interviews last week. I found out that I was waitlisted at one school and accepted to the other school! Thanks so much for all of your help with the mock interview!! Your tips certainly came in handy.

Amy, Pre-PA

I just wanted to share that I got into USC! Woohoo!!! They just called me to share the good news. I’m feeling pretty shocked since that interview did not go as well in my head. I can’t believe I got into school during my first round of applications. This would not have been possible without you, and I really appreciate all the support you gave me throughout this process. ?

Tiffany, PA-S

We did a mock interview nearly a year ago and you gave me valuable feedback and the recording made me see I had so much work left to do. The school I had an interview for last year ended up canceling since they didn’t open their program. I went back and practiced using your tips for an MMI last month I had and did ok! I got waitlisted for that school but got accepted into another and will be starting at Duke in August. Thank you so much for your help and support and pointers. They were beyond valuable. Wishing you a wonderful week!

Colleen, PA-S

The mock interview really helped ease my mind about the interview and helped me prepare how to answer questions in an MMI style. I was accepted into the program, so I’m really glad I did this.

Kiara, PA-S

I received an admission offer from Kansas State University PA program. Your input was essential in getting this offer. Thank you so much for your help and all you do!

Sibiya Sabu PA-S

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

Sarah was incredible! She told me pointers that could really help bring my answers together and effectively summarize my points at the end of every question. I was so appreciative of her help!

Meghan Dunn, PA-S

Sarah is simply excellent. She truly provides great feedback and has such a nice manner of communicating effective constructive criticism. I will continue to recommend her services to anyone that needs it!

Jocelyn Campo, Pre-PA

Deanna was GREAT! She was so easy to talk to and put my nerves at ease. She gave AMAZING feedback and was more than willing to answer all of my questions. I truly feel much more prepared for my interview later in July!

McKenzie, Pre-PA

I just wanted to thank you again for the practice interview. It was immensely helpful and helped me get rid of those nerves. My actual interview went great! I was offered a seat at the Univ of Pittsburgh hybrid program in the spring class, and I accepted! ?

Lindsey, PA-S

I have received three interview offers and was nervous about being prepared for them. Talking through questions with Sarah and practicing my answers was so beneficial! It will absolutely help me relax on my interview days and know that I am prepared. I really was happy with this service and would recommend it to anyone.

Alison, Pre-PA

I just want to follow up and let you know that I have been so fortunate enough to have conducted 3 interviews and received 3 acceptances, and I have decided to continue my educational journey at the OHSU PA program. I can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve provided me, from helping me with my personal statement to mock interviews. I couldn’t have done this without your help, thank you.

Yomiyu Gafesu, PA-S

I had my interview on Wednesday. It was nerve-wracking, but I answered their questions at least and did not get too emotional ?. You helped me so much through this whole process. Although I am waitlisted, that’s more than I expected already. Again, thank you so much. You are amazing!

Anna, Pre-PA

We did a mock interview about three weeks ago in preparation for my interview with Drexel University. I wanted to let you know that I was accepted to the program earlier this week. I am thrilled. Thank you so much again!

Samantha, PA-S

I am reaching out to update you regarding my PA school interview. I am so grateful for your feedback and tips. Early this afternoon, I received an acceptance letter from Mercy College. I can’t thank you enough for dedicating some of your time to helping me prepare for my interview. You were extremely helpful.

Nyasia, PA-S

I received an early acceptance! I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help. You are a pro and I’m so thankful for you! You helped me more than you’ll ever know! I’m so excited! You saved me!!!!

Shelly K. Pre-PA

The mock interview with Sarah was amazing. She provided so much constructive criticism and so many useful tips. I would have never figured out my interview faults and mistakes without her. Will definitely recommend your services to others!

Immadullah, Pre-PA

I just wanted to give you an update on my application status. I was accepted to Columbia University for this upcoming May 2020. I wanted to say thank you so very much for helping me during my mock interview. It truly helped me beyond what I can describe. Thanks for all that you do to help so many individuals achieve their goals!

Lorraine, Pre-PA

I just wanted to update you. I have had two interviews so far (the third got rescheduled for later) and got into both schools (Midwestern and Nashville)! Thank you again for all of your help. This mock interview prompted me to prepare more specific and relevant answers, which I think made a difference in my interviews.

Leah, PA-S

I am pleased to tell you that I have been accepted to PA school, starting in 2-weeks.? I appreciate everything you have done for me, from helping with my personal statement to preparing me for interviews. You have been with me since the beginning of the application process and I really wanted to thank you.

Shane, Pre-PA

I was blown away by how wonderful my interview with Sarah from The PA Life was. I was extremely comfortable and felt like I could ask her any question. Sarah really took the time to give detailed and specific feedback to each and every response I gave, and she didn’t just give me phrases to memorize. She helped me polish and fine-tune my responses, and she gave me some phenomenal tips on how to navigate questions/answers I was unsure of. After my mock interview with Sarah, I know I will have confident and concrete answers at my interview, regardless of any question the interviewers throw my way. This is an excellent resource, and I would highly recommend this service to all my fellow Pre-PAs.

Chloe, Pre-PA

I used the personal statement editing service with Deanna Matzen (April/May 2021) and the mock interview service with Mary Jones (June 2021). Both were exceptional to work with and helped me to achieve my goal. I applied to three schools and received interview invites from all three (I’m a first-time applicant). I was waitlisted at one in June and later accepted in November, received early acceptance to my top choice in November (UTSW), and I chose to decline my third interview scheduled in December. Thank you for your services!

Rachelle, Pre-PA

I wanted to send you a quick life update and another BIG thank you! I received my acceptance at the University of Utah’s PA Program on Monday and couldn’t be happier. Thank you for all your help with my essay and interview prep. Both of these services that you provided were so helpful in my success. I will highly recommend you to any future PA student.

Lily, Pre-PA

I’m glad to tell you that I have been offered admission into the Physician Assistant program at Texas Tech. Thank you for all your time and precious advice.

Jemimah, PA-S

Just letting you know I received an Acceptance call today from ATSU in Mesa, AZ! This is the program I interviewed with this past Monday. I’m so excited and grateful! Thank you again for your support and coaching. I am going to interview with three more programs next month. I’m glad to have one option for sure!

Julia, PA-S

This was my second mock interview with Sarah Schultz and it was just as excellent as the first time! She provides invaluable insight, feedback, and constructive criticism. I highly recommend these services to any future PA applicants I come across!

Kelsey, Pre-PA

It’s official! I got an acceptance call today from the program director, Theresa. I am so excited and thrilled about this next chapter of my life. My family, friends, and I were very emotional this morning Haha. I am truly super grateful for all your feedback and help this week, and throughout the entire process, it made a world of difference.

Kevin (Future PA)

I 10000% recommend Sarah and The PA Life mock interview service! I did two mock interviews because it was that good and made me feel prepared. Before my mock interview I was rejected from one school I interviewed with. But after interviewing with Sarah from The PA Life, I was admitted after my second interview! I have a few more interviews lined up and I know that I’ll be able to apply the skills and tips I learned from these mock interviews when the time comes. I felt incredibly supported throughout the entire process and I could tell that they really want your dreams to come true!

Ome Ollin, Pre-PA

Sarah was (and is) an amazing coach! She was patient with me from the beginning to the end of the session. She’s deeply knowledgeable and experienced, she provides great feedback at the end of each question. She gives great pointers and various approaches on how to answer the questions. Importantly, she listens to everything I say!! Wowza!! Honestly, at the end of the session, I feel a lot more confident, and I have a better understanding of how to answer other questions. Sarah did an amazing job, she provided me with a safe and comfortable space which was helpful because I felt less anxious! Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service, I am definitely going to schedule another appointment(s) with Sarah. I am also 100% recommend her as a coach to anyone who is looking to improve their interviewing skills.

Keira, Pre-PA

I did two mock interviews with Sarah, and they were so helpful! I will be attending Stanford in August for PA school, and I am SO excited! The mock interviews really allowed me to go into my interviews more prepared and confident. Thank you so much!

Madison, PA-S

Sarah is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I did 2 mock interviews with two different online pre-PA resources, and this experience was much more helpful, in my opinion. She gave extremely helpful feedback that came in so useful on interview day. I was accepted at my top choice thanks to her mock interview service. I would recommend her to all future PAs!

Kylie, PA-S

I had a mock interview with Sarah earlier this week – my true interview was the morning, and I really can’t give Sarah enough praise. She was extremely helpful and made the mock interview very personalized to my specific background. She didn’t feed me “good answers,” she instead gave me great insight into my own ideas and ways I could touch on them more effectively. I went into this morning feeling more confident than I would have without her help. I’m so thankful I did this!

Samantha Morgan, Pre-PA

I cannot thank you enough for the service you provide Pre-PAs. I utilized your mock interview with Sarah, which was so helpful! It really helped me prepare in the sense that I knew what to expect and wasn’t too surprised by what question types were presented and the format in which I received them in. I landed a total of five interviews and felt like all of them went smoothly! I was waitlisted for two of the programs and accepted to two as well! This is still very surreal to me and I don’t believe it has quite hit me yet that I am going to be a PA! I will be attending UNT HSC this fall! Thank you for the support you provide all of us that have been dreaming of this opportunity.

Minh-Thy, PA-S

I scheduled a mock interview before my third interview because I felt as I needed confidence and comfort going into this interview. After my mock interview with Sarah, I definitely wished I utilized this resource before my first interview. I feel very confident going into my interview. Sarah provided amazing feedback and pointers on how to enhance my answers from great to AMAZING!

Kylie, Pre-PA

This is Kenzie Wheeler. We interviewed together back in November! I was in the interview process of my direct entry PA applications. I just wanted to let you know that… I got into my top choice school, RIT!!! I am so beyond excited; I cannot thank you enough. Your help and mock interview preparation were so vital in me sitting down and feeling cool and confident in my interview. I really do not think I would have done this well without you. You do amazing things for people. This was something I have wanted for years, and you played such a key role in helping me get there. Thank you, and please never forget the difference you make. You are incredible. I hope this new year treats you well. Keep doing what you do!

Kenzie Wheeler, Pre-PA

I want to let you know that I got accepted into Misericordia University PA program starting the Summer of 2021. So far, I have had two interviews, one rejection and one acceptance. I have two more interviews coming up, and other schools are still reviewing applications. You have been a huge part of my application process, and I just want to appreciate your time and efforts you put in during my application. Thank you, and God bless

Jani, PA-S

I am pleased to report that I was offered admission to several PA schools and accepted a seat at Yale University. I really appreciate what you do! The MMI prep sessions and the wealth of information available on your website were tremendously helpful during the application process. I suspect that I will be revisiting your website in the future as I prepare for and begin my PA education.

Adam Martins, PA-S

The mock interview was very helpful. I was thrown off with the unexpected questions, as I had thought I had prepared somewhat for the MMI portions. The feedback I received was very helpful and provided insight I would not have realized on my own or with peers. I received encouragement, which I did not expect, and the feedback made me realize I need to have more confidence in myself. Even afterward, the email replies are professional and helpful. Thank you very much!

Elyse, Pre-PA

Deanna (from The PA Life) was truly everything you would want in a mock interviewer. She is so genuine, truly present, and in it for your absolute best interest providing amazing feedback while making you feel comfortable. I know nerves get the best of me and even the idea of a mock interview got me nervous but the moment I got onto zoom with Deanna- I felt completely at ease. I had my real interview today and I felt so confident and prepared! I also have had experience doing a mock interview from another platform and left feeling dissatisfied and not in a better place. That was NOT the case with Deanna and The PA Life! Highly recommend!!!!!!!

Stephanie, Pre-PA

I loved how friendly and informative the Mock Interview process was. I got very helpful insight into how to phrase my responses while remaining unique. I signed up for the service after receiving two interview invitations. I was offered automatic acceptance to both programs within 6 days!

Andre, Pre-PA

This was the missing piece I needed going into my second year as an applicant and being interviewed at my dream school. Thank you so much!

Steve, Pre-PA

I know it has been a few months since my mock interview, but I wanted to give you an update. I’ve received seven interview invites and have been accepted to one so far! I’m super glad I ended up doing the mock interview because, with all my zoom interviews, it really did help me know what to expect. Thank you for your help!! I still have five interviews to attend in the next few weeks, but I thought I would let you know!

Tori, Pre-PA

I just got into my dream school, Drexel!!!! The mock interview with Sarah helped me tremendously in preparation for the interview. I’m so glad I used the service because the feedback I got was sooo helpful. I was very calm during the actual interview because I had gone through it with Sarah. Definitely recommend the service to anyone who gets nervous during interviews. Thank you, Sarah!!!!!!

Zully, PA-S

Sarah has increased my confidence for the real interview. She was very professional and honest with her feedback. I would highly recommend everyone utilize The PA Life mock interview services.

Claire, Pre-PA

This past June, you helped me formulate my personal statement for my PA school applications. After our video chat and countless hours editing my CASPA information, I submitted my application and was then given the opportunity to interview at five PA programs. To prepare for my interviews, I would read my personal statement over and over again to remind myself of why I wanted to be a PA. This helped me succeed in my interviews. I was accepted to a few schools, but have I have made my final decision to matriculate into the University of Texas Medical Branch PA program in July! I wanted to follow up after I made my final decision to thank you for helping me with an important step to achieve this amazing life goal. Several of my friends are applying this upcoming cycle, and I will definitely be passing along your information. Again, thank you so much!

Kylie, Pre-PA

I got accepted into the SUNY downstate PA program, it was because of your help I was very prepared for the interview. Thank you and have a great weekend.

Jadiya, Future 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

I received an acceptance call from USC! I’m going to be a PA! ??‍⚕️ I’m so overfilled with joy and gratitude!! All of my experiences led to this, and I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for every single person that was part of this journey. You were a huge component of this journey, and I am so appreciative of all of your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Cintia Chávez, PA-S

Sarah, from The PA Life, was a terrific interviewer. I have had one other mock interview in the past, so this is my second one. Let me tell you, Sarah was the best interviewer I have ever had. She had such helpful feedback, and it felt like she cared about my performance in my upcoming PA school interview. The questions she had were great, and some of them caught me off-guard, which is a good thing. Overall, I would rate Sarah and The PA Life 5/5 stars!!

Nathaniel, Pre-PA

Thank you for helping me prepare for my interviews. Your feedback was really helpful. I got accepted to 2 programs. Once again, Thank You!

Abiel, Pre-PA

I wanted to reach out and let you know that I was officially offered a seat by the Yale University Online PA program and have accepted. I want to thank you for all your help throughout the interview process and think a lot of my success came from that learning process. I can’t give exact questions however, let’s just say a lot of the questions you asked, aligned with questions asked during the real interview. I hope that helps you and future students applying to the program. Thank you again!

Carlos, PA-S

My experience with the mock interview was amazing. I had two mock interviews with Ms. Schultz and both taught me a lot about what I need to improve on. The best part about the mock interviews is that it helps you practice and challenges you to think on the spot. Ms. Schultz offered a lot of great insights about the good and bad parts in my responses and gave me tips on how to give a stronger response. Furthermore, she would use the experiences I had to help me come up with examples for each type of interview questions. She also tailored my mock interviews based on the interview formats of the school I was interviewing with. Having these mock interviews really helped calmed my nerves during my actual interview and they also helped me feel more confident in my experience. Thank you, Ms. Schultz!

Amy, Pre-PA

I am so grateful to have had this experience with Deanna prior to my upcoming interview. I feel far more prepared and equipped. Thank you for offering such supportive services!

Lily, Pre-PA

I just wanted you to know that I got accepted into Mercer!! Thanks for all your help and your incredible service. I’m still considering applying to Emory in May. If I get an interview, I’ll definitely book another session with you for MMI prep.

Nelly, Pre-PA

I wanted to tell you that I interviewed with MEDEX on Friday, got the call yesterday that I’m accepted! I also interviewed with Pacific University on and I felt that went VERY well too. I should hear from them any day now. I will keep you in the loop. I appreciate all your help and support!

Norah, PA-S

I would highly recommend The PA Life mock interview service to all my fellow applicants. The feedback was constructive and useful. The whole experience made me feel so much better about my upcoming interviews. There was a variety of questions, so I felt well-prepared to answer anything that comes my way!

Jada, Pre-PA

I have received three interview offers and was nervous about being prepared for them. Talking through questions with Sarah and practicing my answers was so beneficial! It will absolutely help me relax on my interview days and know that I am prepared. I really was happy with The PA Life Mock Interview Service and would recommend it to anyone.

Allison, Pre-PA

I feel as though my experience with Deanna was integral in my acceptance to my top choice! I’d been wait-listed following four other interviews, but Deanna worked with me to fine-tune my interview skills and I got where I want! I would HIGHLY recommend this service for anyone who feels they could use some work on their interviewing skills, or honestly, just anyone in general!

Jason, PA-S

Thank you so much for all your time and help again Ms. Schultz–not to mention your insightful tidbits on everything ranging from how past experience translates into applicability in the program and how it sets my application apart to set the stage about how weakness affected patient experience. It truly means a great deal–your constructive criticism and positive feedback are very much appreciated. Please let me know who I can forward and recommend your service to (aside from the feedback link) as you are not only professional, and an asset to the PA life, but also an expert as evident in your questions, feedback, and tips developed through years of well-honed experience.

May, Pre-PA

I was accepted to 3/3 schools and am attending my top choice – the University of South Alabama this May! I really must give a lot of credit to Kelly and her suggestions for my personal statement and especially to Sarah for her advice during my two mock interviews. I truly believe I would not have gotten in my first time without their help. Thank you for everything you do!

Alex, Future PA

I received an invitation for an interview on Friday, October 2nd, and received the date of the interview the following Monday, October 5th stating my interview day will be on Wednesday, October 7th! Words cannot express how thankful I am for Deanna! She squeezed me into her schedule at the very last minute! Deanna was super helpful!! She gave me really good feedback during my mock interview with her and helped me formulate answers to certain questions that made me feel pretty confident on the day of the interview. I HIGHLY recommend this service to anyone!! It is soooo worth it!! THANK YOU DEANNA!!

Susan, Pre-PA

I had two programs interview invites and I received acceptances to both! For my second interview, it was with one of the top programs in the country, and I received early acceptance 5 days after my interview! Thank you for your mock interview service and for the assistance in helping me achieve this!!

Michaela, Future PA

Deanna was absolutely awesome. She was very prepared to answer any questions that I had and offered valuable advice that will make me successful in my upcoming interview. I would recommend her to anyone that wishes to utilize a mock interview.

Johnathan, Pre-PA

The mock interview was incredibly helpful! Sarah gave me great tips and ways to better answer the questions. I truly appreciate this service.

Natalia, Pre-PA

Thank you for your help to help me get over the initial nervous feelings and the unknowns about PA school interviews. This helped me greatly to know what preparations I still need to undertake and how to refine my answers. Thank you! 🙂

Valerie, Pre-PA

I wanted to update you on my interviews and admission decisions. I did the University of Pittsburgh interview immediately after the second mock interview we did and, wouldn’t you know it, the MMI I did with two other applicants was VERBATIM what we went over the day before. I offered to keep track of time on my computer, and I used all the inviting language you taught me. The two scenarios they presented were even almost EXACTLY the same as the ones you gave me. It went very smoothly, although I was nervous to be interviewing over Zoom with 60 other applicants. I got accepted! So, I will be moving back to my home city of Pittsburgh in December and starting school at the beginning of January. Thank you so much for all of your help and advice with this process. You made me feel so much more confident and prepared through the entire thing. I will be recommending your services to anyone I meet who is thinking about applying to a PA school!!

Katy, PA-S

I wanted to check-in and pass on some great news – I GOT INTO PA SCHOOL! I am going to be a Trojan PA! Thank you so much for helping me make this possible! Thank you for giving me the confidence to take on the interview process.. as none other than myself. I am very excited and wanted to pass along the great news. I’ll always be sure to refer any prospective students your way.

Anise, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted in the UW MEDEX program at my home campus in Anchorage, AK. After the long journey I’ve had, I finally was accepted to my top choice! It still seems surreal and I couldn’t be more excited! Thank you so much for the help and insight you gave me. I truly believe it helped prepare me and not be as nervous. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is applying in the future.

Melanie, PA-S

I’m not sure if you remember me but I did a couple of mock interviews with you back in September/October. Recall I was extremely nervous in my first interview and ended up scheduling another mock interview with you again. I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted to 2 out of 3 schools and waitlisted at the other. I even had an interviewer at one of my MMI stations tell me that I answered the question/scenario perfectly! I really believe I would not have had these results had I not done the mock interviews with you. I will be attending my top-choice school this summer and am extremely excited. Thank you for all your help and for being so encouraging during the mock interviews. I hope you are doing well.

Alexandra (Future PA)

Deanna was wonderful, the mock interview was immensely helpful in giving me great practice and finding points of improvement, and overall making me feel confident and ready going into my interviews. She gave me great feeding back and I learned so much.

Deque, Pre-PA

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’m extremely grateful for Sarah. I had my first mock interview with her in October when I had my first interview. Since then, I have had been accepted to the University of La Verne. I appreciate her help so much because reviewing our recording helped me loosen up and figure out how to modify my answers so that they flowed. Having the opportunity to continue to interview for four more schools, I came to Sarah to bolster my skills and warm up. The affirmations helped me to acknowledge my strengths versus dwelling on my weaknesses, which can be easy since this is my third year applying. However, I am happy to say though it is my third cycle applying, it is MY LAST CYCLE! Sarah was part of that process.

Carlon, PA-S

Mary (from The PA Life) was amazing & really helped me to prepare my answers and thoughts for my upcoming interview. She gave insight from the interviewer’s point of view and brought up things that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Mary was great at helping me to relax and making me realize that I shouldn’t be spouting off rehearsed answers but should instead engage in the conversation by exploring the answers in detail. I am very thankful for Mary and her time spent helping me.

Harmony, Pre-PA

I appreciate this service so much!! Sarah gave me invaluable feedback to help me to better prepare for my interview! I feel so much more confident moving towards my interview date!!

Lexi, Pre-PA

I’ve gotten the acceptance letter from Mercy! Hurray!! I couldn’t imagine how it would be without your help! Every piece of advice you gave was so beneficial, I just want to share this great news with you! I’m still waiting to hear back from York! I’ll keep you updated!

Mendy, PA-S

Sarah did an amazing job. Very thorough and helpful. I received so much feedback and really appreciated the time she took to help me with my answers. I will definitely recommend her and this service to my fellow colleagues.

Jocelyne , Pre-PA

Thank you so much for this mock interview! I feel better prepared and more confident about my upcoming interview. Sarah was positive, encouraging, and so helpful and I truly appreciate all the advice she gave! I was nervous for my interview but now I look forward to it!

Kalee M, Pre-PA

I had a mock interview with Sarah and had a wonderful experience. I got accepted to both Emory University and the University of Utah PA Programs. ? I will be attending the University of Utah on May 10. I loved this resource. Thank you for creating these amazing resources.

Claire, PA-S

Thank you so so so much! I interviewed 9/12 at Trine University, and I walked in with so much more confidence thanks to you. After my mock interview with you, I reevaluated my answers, and I improved/changed them as needed. I had better answers and confidence. Thanks to our thorough mock interview, I received my acceptance call today! My dad attended Trine University, and he graduated in ’89 with a BSME. Trine is located in Fort Wayne as well. My family loves the city and loves Trine. Thank you again so, so, so much. I have the ability to stay with my family, my boyfriend, and, most importantly, my cats.

Danielle, PA-S

Just wanted to let you know that I just got into Le Moyne College’s PA program, starting this August. Thank you so much for your help with my mock interview!

Boris Temkin, PA-S

I’m thrilled to share that I was accepted to Emory and Northwestern’s PA programs. I’ll be joining the class of 2023 at Emory. Thank you again for all your services, this is so appreciated.

Emily, PA-S

I signed up for a mock interview with Sarah Schultz and that helped me gain experience for the actual interview day. I was accepted to the UToledo PA program, and I am excited to start in fall 2022! Thanks for the additional articles on your site that gave me advice on finance, study advice and mental health.

Bonney, PA-S

I booked this appointment because I received an interview invitation. Sarah was wonderful! She is the perfect balance of sweet and supportive, but she is transparent with how to improve my responses and make sure they answer the question behind the question. She is wonderful, and if I wanted a follow up I would certainly book with her again!

April, 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 had a wonderful experience with Sarah from the PA Life mock interview team. She asked me questions that matched my interview style (traditional and ethical) and truly tried to select questions that would benefit me the most to practice. She provided feedback after each question and was kind enough to record the session for me and provide me with a link. I highly recommend this service to any pre-PAs who want to practice for their upcoming interviews!

Karen L. Pre-PA

Sarah is absolutely the best! She has now helped me with my personal statement, supplemental, and mock interview and has exceeded all my expectations! She gives excellent advice and great insight into what the admissions committee is looking for. She has been the biggest help throughout my PA journey thus far, and I would recommend Sarah, and The PA Life, in a heartbeat to any pre-PA!

Khanhi, Pre-PA

I got accepted to the PA program that I interviewed with after our mock interview and I could not be more excited about my future! Thank you again for your feedback and know that the service you provide is invaluable. I applied many of the strategies you suggested while I was prepping, then used them during the actual interview as well as the group activity, and they culminated in my interview performance being a hundred times better than it was last year.

Shaun, Pre-PA

I loved your service. I was able to get multiple interviews (and have continued to), but I was a late admission to the program I am currently in. I will recommend this service to any student trying to get into school. I wish I would’ve done this sooner, as I think it might have changed how early I was able to get in and get started. I love all you do, and I appreciate the level of service you provide.

Alexandra Loakes, PA-S

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 got in! Thank you so much for your help. Even if I hadn’t gotten an acceptance, I felt confident and calm in the interviews and very at peace with myself, so thank you for that. Damn, girl, you are good. You have at least three accepted clients in this program!

Stacy, PA-S

I just wanted to let you know that I got accepted into the RFU PA program! Thank you for all your help and support during the application process. Couldn’t have done it without you!

Zakira, PA-S

Thanks to the PA life and Deanna I was accepted to ECU PA program this cycle. I’m starting my program next fall. I have been part of the PA life community and a member of the leadership team at the virtual pre-PA club with Deanna and others. I’m preparing a video presentation about how to become a PA for IMG. I’m a nontraditional app and abnormally normal applicant 😆. The video will be posted on the IMG space of the community. I’m so happy to share my experience and help pre-PA like me.

Shynar Johnson, PA-S

Hi, I am beyond words to express how I feel, I got accepted, contingent on background check which I think is a formality. I want to say boldly that I am going to be a PA, thanks to you. You will be always blessed for the wonderful service you provide.  You were very kind and worked beyond what I thought could be offered. Thanks again!

Pavithra, Pre-PA

My interviewer Mary was such an immense help! She made me feel comfortable and provided incredible tips on how to rephrase certain things during my interview. She even let me practice some questions twice. I felt very confident going into my first PA school interview the next day. Thank you!

Brenda, Pre-PA

I did a mock interview before getting my first interview invite, and I received seven interviews. Out of those seven interviews, I was accepted to five PA schools and waitlisted at 2. I start PA school next year! Thank you, guys, for your help throughout this process!

Tori, PA-S

I met with Mary twice to prepare for my PA interviews, and she was extremely helpful. She provided practical tips that I used for both of my interviews. I felt at ease and confident during my interviews following her advice and strategies. Mary genuinely prepared me well, and I am so grateful I had the chance to prep with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Mary and The PA Life Mock Interview Service. In addition to the interview preparation, my interviewer was easily reached via email with any questions I had. She took the time to answer all my questions/concerns very thoroughly and at no additional charge! Thank you, Mary (and The PA Life), for helping me prepare and feel this confident!

Brenda, Pre-PA

I had been through 3 interviews prior to your mock interview service. I really wanted to know what I was doing wrong/what I could do better since I was either denied or waitlisted previous to the mock interview. After a great hour with Sarah, I was able to learn so many great tips and figured out what I needed to rework. My interview skills vastly improved and I was soon accepted into multiple highly ranked PA programs. I know it was because of this I was able to stand out that much more! So grateful I was able to have this opportunity.

Mariah, Pre-PA

Thanks to the help of the PA Life mock interview service I was able to get into my #1 choice school (Drexel University)!

Aaron Martin, PA-S

Deanna did an amazing job! She listened to my answers carefully and provided feedback that was clear and insightful. She has given me the right tools to help me ace my interview!

Meron, Pre-PA

Mary was awesome! I had a last-minute interview invitation at my top school, and she was able to make time for me! It was extremely helpful, and I got some experience answering questions I had never heard before. I got accepted to that program and I know this mock interview helped me immensely!

Casey Novak, PA-S

I just wanted to let you know that the majority of my interviews have gone really well! So far, I’ve received six interview invites and have interviewed for five schools. Midwestern (AZ) just got back to me a bit ago, and they sent me an acceptance email! I am beyond thrilled! I just wanted to thank you so much for your help! Your mock interview gave me a lot of confidence that I was able to carry into my interviews! I appreciated having the opportunity to practice my interview skills with you. I wanted to let you know just how much you’ve helped me with my application process (with my interviews, personal statement, and just my confidence in general)! Thank you so much for all of the advice over the past few months!

Sneh, PA-S

Sarah is amazing, she is great when it comes to feedback and focusing on the little details that one may not pay attention to. Sarah is also an immense help outside of the interview, she is always willing to help and always has a smile on her face. She is GREAT!

Karol Toral, Pre-PA

Sarah was super welcoming, understanding, and encouraging. Everyone is starting at different stages and has varying strengths, and she’s great at bringing out the best in people. I had my interview for Pace University several weeks after my mock interview and got an acceptance several hours later! Thank you so much for your help, Sarah, and The PA Life!

Melissa, PA-S

Deanna was amazing! She was very warm and kind. She gave me really good feedback that I will make sure to take with me on the interview day.

Rawzita, Pre-PA

My interviewer Deanna was terrific! She provided precious insights and tangible strategies I could start using immediately in my interview with her. I’m feeling more confident about my upcoming interview, and I definitely recommend this service.

Christina, Pre-PA

I found the mock interview so helpful that I signed up for a second because I had several weeks between interviews and wanted to stay fresh. Sarah adapted on the fly to offer a mix of traditional and MMI questions, which was so helpful. She was wonderful and I was accepted to 4/5 programs where I interviewed (still waiting to hear officially from the fifth school)! Thank you all so much for helping me to feel prepared and confident going into those stressful interviews. I will be headed to the University of Utah next year and I’m so happy to have gotten into one of my reach schools.

Emily, PA-S

I just got the call that I had been waiting for years. I got accepted to Bay Path PA Program!!!!!!!! Omg, I am so excited. Thank you so much for your big help and support!

Yohanna (Future PA)

Ever since I did a mock interview with Sarah in September 2021, I was accepted to 6 PA programs. After much thought and consideration of each program, I ended up selecting Duke University, which is where I will be attending this August. Having so many great contenders made the decision a difficult one. But I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to you, Sarah, and The PA Life for your assistance and everything you do for aspiring PAs! I am most appreciative!!

Julia, Future PA

I received two invitations for an interview, and this mock interview was very informative for me because this is the first time I will be interviewing with the PA programs. I received personal insights on things that I could improve on to make a better impression on the interviewers as well. I am glad I got this mock interview. Thank you!

Bathsheba, Pre-PA

Working with Sarah one on one prior to my interview really helped ease my nerves and made me feel more prepared to answer any of the questions the committee would have for me. Sarah provided great feedback and amazing help on how to answer some of the more difficult questions you might encounter during an interview. I would recommend any pre-PA preparing for an interview to set up a mock interview with The PA Life Video Interview Service. I had a wonderful experience with Sarah and have received two interview offers.

Mary Gustafson, Pre-PA

I just wanted to email you and let you know that 3 weeks post-interview with Gannon, I was accepted into the class of 2023! I am so excited and thrilled and I know that your help, helped me. So, thank you!

Cailin, PA-S

I wanted to let you know I got accepted into the PA program at Mercy College and have another interview at Pace University PA program next week. Thank you so much for guiding me through this process. I just want you to know I really appreciate the time you put into working with me.

Alex (Future PA)

Thank you so much! It was a really awesome experience and opportunity. You gave me so many great points to add to my answers. I really value your perspective & thoughts. You also provided a lot of great constructive feedback & kept everything so positive. It helped a lot in boosting my confidence moving forward. I’ll definitely be reviewing the interview to take notes on all your great pointers.

Danielle, Pre-PA

I received a phone call last night from Yale School of Medicine PA Online and was offered a seat in their next cohort starting in January 2021!!! I’m beyond excited!!!! This has been a dream of mine for years and it’s here. I wanted to come back to you and sincerely thank you for helping me achieve my goal and get to where I am today. You were a meaningful part of my journey and I think you should know how much of an impact you had. Thank you for your guidance, insight, and expertise and for working with me to craft a new personal statement that truly reflected who I am.

Jacob, PA-S

Hello! My experience with your service was so incredibly helpful! I was given such great advice for which I am so grateful!! I have an interview coming up in a couple of weeks so I will be sure to let you know of the outcome, but either way, thank you for all your help!!

Pavitra, Pre-PA

I just got the email from Evansville inviting me to their program!!! Thank you so much for interviewing me and preparing me for this! Your advice on the group activity came in super handy! When someone in my group wasn’t talking, I asked them to speak up, and I offered to be the timekeeper. The interviewers noticed that! I also had a lot of out-of-the-box answers, thanks to your advice! Thank you for being such an awesome coach!

Nate, PA-S

I hope you remember me lol. Your mock interview helped me a lot. I was accepted to two schools thus far and I am waiting to hear back from my first choice sometime next week. Thank you so much!!

Maryan, Pre-PA

The mock interview was excellent! Sarah was wonderful & extremely helpful. I received great tips and felt confident going into my actual interview. I highly recommend this amazing option to help ace your interview!

Lori, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know I accepted a spot at the University of Dubuque’s PA program! I want to thank you for all your help and support in this process and for all the positivity you brought my way. Thanks for all you do and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you! I would recommend you highly to anyone.

Meghna, PA-S

I wanted to let you know that I was accepted to my top school. I am so excited and I wanted to thank you for your help during the mock interview! I am unquestionably going to recommend mock interviewing to anyone I know who is applying to PA school, it definitely had a positive impact on my interviews and acceptances.

Salwa Ali, PA-S

I wanted to update you and say I’ve been accepted into two programs (waiting for two more responses) with Jefferson University (my program of choice) being one of them. Thank you for all your help and your tips and for making this a genuinely joyful 2022!

Yejin (Future PA)

I am happy to provide an update. I received 5 acceptances for this cycle and will be attending Rush University PA Program starting in May 2022. Of course, I definitely have Sarah Schultz and Deanna Matzen from The PA Life to thank for their incredible help with my personal statement, instilling confidence in my ability to interview, and providing me with a lot of advice in this very difficult cycle.

Bristi (Future PA)

I wanted to let you know that my interview went so well and I just received my acceptance! Thank you so much for all of your help, I felt so much more relaxed and prepared, and your tips really helped me get through the questions.

Christine, Pre-PA

Sarah was so helpful, accommodating my needs, and I would highly recommend her to a friend/peer. I love this company and the people that work here!

Erin Felter, Pre-PA

It was a wonderful service and was very helpful. I recieved an invitation to an interview at Salus University and I am waiting to hear from other schools.

Lauren C, Pre-PA

I had two interviews for PA school and was accepted to both!! I will be a member of Drexel University’s PA program class of 2024 cohort! Thank you so much for all the support you gave me with my interview. Without your advice, I could never have gotten to where I am today.

Greta (Future PA)

Sarah was so great at helping me focus on my strengths in order to tell my unique story. She was very encouraging and helped me lessen the anxiety of meeting and talking to a stranger in a PA school interview. Highly recommend!

Stacie, Pre-PA

I had a wonderful application cycle. The mock interview certainly helped because I was accepted into every school I interviewed at! My grades (cGPA 3.56 and sGPA 3.40) are not stellar, so I had to make every other part of my application strong- especially the interview. It was definitely worth it to purchase the mock interview service. I would watch my mock interview video right before every interview I had to prepare. I am so thankful for the PA Life and Ms. Matzen’s help! I am very excited to begin school!

Jessie Michael (Future PA)

I just wanted to reach out to you and update you on my interviews! So I have had two interviews so far and am ecstatic to let you know that I’ve been accepted to both of the programs that I’ve interviewed at! The mock interview that we did was exactly like both the program interviews and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much for all of the help!

KP, PA-S

Sarah did a great job at making me feel comfortable while answering the practice interview questions. I felt that her feedback was honest and truly geared toward helping me become a stronger candidate.

Kate, Pre-PA

I just wanted to share some amazing news with you! I have been accepted into the MEDEX PA program in Seattle!!! I can’t thank you enough for all your help!! I am beyond excited and still can’t believe it is actually happening! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!!!! 😀

Pavitra, PA-S

I had a mock interview with you a few days ago for Canisius college. I wanted to let you know that I have been notified that I have been accepted into their PA program. Thank you for being so kind and making me feel relaxed and prepared for my big day.

Dominique, PA-S

This service is the best thing that I have spent my money on. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Sarah! The interview exposure is such a valuable experience and really highlighted the areas where I need to improve. Sarah gave honest feedback that was incredibly helpful. This interview allowed me to gauge how I appear on zoom, the tech glitches that I may experience on interview day/how to deal with them professionally, and Sarah even had specific feedback for me on how to appear better on camera (looking at the camera, etc). I can’t express how much this has helped me!

Katie, Pre-PA

I got accepted into two PA programs and just received the acceptance to my top choice today. Thank you so much for all your help! I’m so glad I did the mock interview with you! I used all the tips you gave me and really believe it made me stand out during my interview. I cannot thank you enough for everything!!!

Khanhi Thai, PA-S

I just wanted to tell you thank you again for the advice during the mock interview. So far I have only been offered one interview and I applied to three schools. I had my interview last Friday and Campbell just called and offered me a spot in their Program! I couldn’t be more grateful and excited.

Amber, Pre-PA

This mock interview with Ms. Schultz was the second time I interacted with her (first was for an essay revision. She has always been professional, helpful, and very responsive to my emails. I am going to schedule a second mock interview with Ms. Schultz. I appreciate The PA Life for offering consistently great services to pre-PAs.

Alex, Pre-PA

Thank you again for doing the mock interview with me a few weeks ago. The interview at St. John’s University went very well, and I received an acceptance letter this week! The interview helped me so much and allowed me to fine-tune my answers, thank you again.

Colleen, Pre-PA

First of all I wanted to wish you a happy new year 2020! I wanted to spread some good news. As promised I needed to let you know – I got into my top choice for PA school! I am so thankful for your help and invaluable advice during the mock interviews! They were well worth it!

Jocelyn, Pre-PA

Deanna, your advice was great! I was very unprepared for this mock interview, but you were able to work with me very patiently, and I’m very thankful. I did my interview and utilized your advice, and I feel very confident about it, so thanks again!

Katherine, Pre-PA

I am writing this email to show my gratitude for your interview expertise. I am ecstatic to announce that I am officially accepted to Stony Brook University PA Program. Thank you so much for all that you do. The mock interview was certainly helpful. You were wonderful. Stay amazing!

Hanna Jang, PA-S

I just wanted to reach out to let you know that I was accepted to Emory’s PA program last Friday! I also interviewed with Northwestern yesterday. I can’t express enough how valuable my mock interview experience was. For me, I think it helped me to understand the importance of carrying my answers forward to how my values/skills/experiences will help me as a PA, which is something that I was struggling to incorporate prior to my mock interview. Thank you very much for your support!

Emily, PA-S

I was accepted into PA last cycle and am currently in my second semester! I am a part of the inaugural class at Keck Graduate Institute. Your services really helped me during the application process. I enjoyed working with Sarah on my personal statement. She helped me view my experiences from a different perspective, making my personal statement more unique and stand out amongst other applicants. The mock interview was also very helpful and prepared me for my one and only interview. I was given great pointers and feedback on how to refine my answers. Thank you again for your services!

Michelle Chen, PA-S

I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know that I got accepted into PA School and wanted to thank you so much for all of your help throughout this journey. I truly could not have done it without your help! Thank you again so much.

Emily Sharpe, Pre-PA

Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate how you have given me the confidence in answering, “tell me about yourself.” I needed the reminder that I should be proud of my journey to where I am now and all the work I have put into to get to this point. My interview is coming up, and I am excited to say my nerves have been diminished.

Angelica, Pre-PA

Deanna was very helpful in putting the final touches on my interview. I enjoyed every moment of the conversation and I believe I am nailing my interview tomorrow. Thank you for all you do

Jemimah, Pre-PA

Wow, I don’t know where to start. I got accepted to the program today. ????. It was nice. I thought I didn’t have a chance since, in the group interview, everyone was focusing heavily on the school’s religious affiliation. Thank you so much for everything. I couldn’t have done it without your help. I hope my experience inspires other students.

Mayly, PA-S

This interview was very beneficial and helped me identify points in my responses that were either lacking or strong. Sarah gave very good constructive criticism and I am happy with the advice she gave. Definitely will recommend this service to other pre-pas I know!

Sarah, Pre-PA

I just got the acceptance call from USC! Thank you so much! Your counseling and support really gave me the clarity and confidence I needed during my interview. I could not have done it without you.

Steve K. PA-S

I wanted to reach out and thank you for all of your help throughout my entire application process — your words, advice, and support made a world of a difference to me, and I’m sure everyone who has had the pleasure of working with you feels the exact same way. I thought I’d let you know that after my Stanford and Duke interviews over the past couple of weeks, I received acceptance to both programs! I’m still on cloud 9 and I don’t believe I’ll be coming down anytime soon. And as of early this week, I officially committed to Stanford University’s PA program and I begin in August!!! Thank you again for everything you’ve done to help!

Celine, PRE-PA

I got accepted into PA school! Yes, I finally did it. I will be going to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences University ( MCPHS ) – Worcester campus about 40 minutes away from Boston starting January 2020. Since receiving the news I have been making arrangements to move, trying to spend time with family and friends as well as work as much as I can to save. I wanted to share this news with you because I could not have reached my dream without your help Ms.Schultz! Your guidance with my mock interview truly guided me to put the cherry on the cake so to speak on my application. I am so thankful and grateful to you for everything you helped me with and I hope I can be an example for your future applicants; When you truly have a dream, hard work, perseverance, and steadfast dedication can make it happen. And of course, being WELL prepared. Thank you again for everything!

Bryhanna, PA-S

I wanted to let you know I’ve been accepted into FSU!!!! I got the call Friday!!! I’m thrilled and I owe a lot of it to you! Thank you so much for your help and support along this journey! I could have not done it without you!

Shayna, PA-S

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

I have my first interview today and one next week. I couldn’t be more grateful for this program and how I feel much more confident and prepared now than prior to the mock interview. I received a lot of great feedback and tips throughout the process that I will be sure to use during my future interviews!

Connor H. Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know I heard back from UW yesterday and I got into Medex! Thank you so much for all your helpful feedback and words of encouragement. It was more helpful than you know!

 

Sarah, Pre-PA

I think having this mock interview was perfect for me in preparing for my upcoming interview next week. I have never actually done an interview, so practicing how to prepare answers on the spot while properly answering the question was very helpful. I have lots of room to improve, but I think this was the perfect learning opportunity for me, and it got some of my nerves out. Sarah was so nice and encouraging. Even though I struggled through lots of questions, she always gave me helpful tips and tricks to improve my answers and thought processes. I personally wish I would have done this sooner because it is such a great tool for PA school applicants.

Madalynn Potter, Pre-PA

Got accepted to UW. I wanted to thank you for giving me amazing tips for the interview. I did get nervous the day before the interview; however, I remembered your tips for staying positive and wrapping up the scenario, and I did just that. Thank you for being part of my journey Deanna. I really appreciate it.

Divya, PA-S

Deanna Matzen was my interviewer and she was awesome! She gave me great feedback and went the extra mile to find out some information for me even after the interview. I think this practice was so helpful!

Amanda, Pre-PA

My PA school interview went well!! Thank you so much for getting me in such late notice and helping me out during the mock interview!! I feel really good about the interview but all thanks to you!! As you mentioned, I was asked questions that had nothing to do with PA!! One of those questions was “If turned your car on right now, what type of music will be playing” Again, thank you!!

Testimonials

Deanna was amazing! She was able to help me put into professional language my desire to help people. I deeply appreciate and value all of her feedback, edits to my essay, and guidance. She was very attentive, capable, and helpful. She explained things I didn’t understand in a way that allowed me to comprehend. She’s a wonderful writer! I am so grateful for her help! I was stressed out about my essay, and her guidance really helped me stay on track (and calm me down) and portray my interest in becoming a PA clearly and precisely in my essay.

Valerie Charlton, 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

Carly was helpful and gave insightful comments while helping me to create more impact within my sentences. I feel confident and at ease knowing that my supplemental application has been reviewed in a thorough manner. Thank you for all your help!

Mina, Pre-PA

I just wanted to send you a quick email, letting you know that I finally got accepted into PA school! I will be attending Sacred Heart University in Connecticut and will be starting this fall. I could not have made it this far without your help! This was my third time applying and during my first two cycles, I didn’t think that I needed outside help. But this time around, I decided that I needed to change my tactic and I am so freaking happy that I did. Your guidance and advice on my personal statement absolutely made a difference. I had 6 interviews and got accepted into 4! You have helped changed my life and I am forever grateful. I have several friends who will be applying this cycle so I will be referring them to you!

Christian, 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

Ms. Edmondson was incredible! She provided great feedback and answered all of my follow up questions. I will keep in touch as to my interview offers.

Ashley, Pre-PA

The feedback that I received through The PA Life editing service was more detailed than I expected! It gave me a clear idea of what direction I need to take in regard to my personal statement. I absolutely loved the edits!

Crystal, Pre-PA

Sarah is absolutely amazing and really helped transform my essay into the best version it could have possibly been!

Shannon B. Pre-PA

This was just what my essay needed. I am confident that I have answered all the questions without sounding too “braggy”.

Kelsey, Pre-PA

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

Excellent service! The editor did a great job of working with me to write my personal statement as I wanted. They also provide some pointers and tips on how to write which is good for supplemental essays and writing prompts.

Ryan, Pre-PA

Thank you so much for helping me with my physician assistant program application essays and interview! I am so excited to let you know that I received multiple PA school acceptances and have decided that I will be attending Cornell University’s PA Program in New York City. The program begins in February 2019 and I cannot wait to begin!  I truly appreciate all your help and encouragement throughout my PA application process.

Christine Chen, PA-S

This was even more helpful than I anticipated! I am someone who finds it very hard to let others read my writing because it feels too personal. This made it much easier to let someone edit for me and all the suggestions provided really helped me pull together the parts I was struggling with. I would highly recommend this editing service to anybody who is having trouble strengthening their essay!

Lindsey C, Pre-PA

I have never used a service like this before. All I can say is that I wish I had discovered it sooner 😀

Rebecca G. PA-S

My editor thoroughly went through my essay and provided exactly what I was looking for to bring my essay to the next level.

Matthew, Pre-PA

Deanna was professional, prompt, and easy to talk to. I truly enjoyed working with her one-on-one for my personal statement. Her suggestions elevated my writing, and I appreciate all the work she put in my essay.

Jamie, Pre-PA

Sarah did such an excellent job editing my personal statement that I wanted her expertise for my supplemental essays. I’ve had multiple interview invites so far. I’m so glad I used this service, and I’m so glad I had Sarah’s help! She really took my essays to a whole new level and had good suggestions. I’m recommending her to my peers.

Emily Crenshaw, Pre-PA

Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience. She was prompt, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. Sarah never deviated from the authenticity of my essay. Even after she made vast changes, the essay still felt true to what I wanted to express. Thank you, Sarah! I would recommend this service to anyone applying to PA school.

Ashley, Pre-PA

Very detail-oriented and took the time to explain the process, so our expectations were on the same page. Excellent editing and feedback on the content. Helpful comments on how I could maximize limited character count to make the most impact on the reader. I very much would recommend this service!

Esmeralda, Pre-PA

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

I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into PA school.  I start at Albany Medical College in January!  Thank you again for doing such an amazing job helping me with my essay…I think in the end it really carried my application.

Lindsey Porubcan PA-S

Beth Eakman is my hero! She literally took my writing and brought it to life!! I really feel like the essay she edited with me will get me into a PA program. Beth is an awesome editor, and I highly recommend her and The PA Life editing service!

Hapuruchi Avugara, Pre-PA

I have been accepted to my first-choice program!! UC Denver, I don’t have to move! I have also received three other interviews so far. Thank you so much for your help with my personal statement. You eloquently helped me state my desires and strengths for the career. I am beyond thrilled and thankful.

Nika (Future PA)

I wanted you to know about my acceptance into Elizabethtown College’s PA program. I am incredibly excited – I loved the school, the program and thought the staff was incredible, especially the director. I know my personal statement was a key component of getting an interview with them, and I am so thankful for your help in getting my statement polished!

Steve, PA-S

I had a great experience with The PA Life essay revision service. They were very professional and made revisions in a timely manner. My editor was very understanding about my schedule and when it would take me longer to reply to emails. I would recommend this service to any new grad PAs!

Sandy, Pre-PA

Sarah from The PA Life was an incredible resource for editing my personal statement. Her edits took into account the big picture of the message of the statement and helped guide me when writing additional content my statement was lacking. Her edits and responses were both prompt and thorough, and I truly feel that she made a huge positive impact on my personal statement.

Travis, 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

This service was very helpful. My essay was edited and returned to me within a few days of me submitting it. The feedback was thorough and detailed. I am already planning on sending my essay for a second edit!

Sabrina, Pre-PA

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 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

I am so glad I did this! Sarah was absolutely amazing, and she did such a great job of helping put my words together in a way that sounded professional and made the most sense! She was a true hero and made me feel so much more confident in my personal statement!

Kalley, Pre-PA

I’ve had several people look at my essay in an effort to gauge whether the content was strong and to help clean it up and cut characters – none were as helpful as Carly. Carly’s editing truly helped make a difference in the quality of the essay, and while there’s still quite a bit of character cutting I have to do, I am more prepared now than I was before. I am so happy I chose to work with The PA Life.

Kristen, Pre-PA

Even at the busiest time of the year for applications, they got me my edit in a matter of days. They did a great job with grammar, punctuation and suggestions. I am very satisfied with the draft I got back from Sue.

Andrew, Pre-PA

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 was an extremely helpful process! I still have work to do on my essay but Sue was very helpful by giving me criticism I needed to hear from an unbiased source as well as being very fast responding! I think this will help me moving forward and having a strong application!

Morgan Rial, Pre-PA

My editor was Beth, and she blew my expectations out of the water. She got back to me within 24 hours of submitting my request for edits and helped me so much with the edits she made. If I receive an interview, I am excited to use PA Life to help me with mock interviews.

Haley, Pre-PA

My reviewer was Deanna Matzen who was incredible. I reached out to The PA Life’s editing service after being disappointed by myparesource, whom I was referred to initially. Deanna composed two alternate ways to structure my journey and allowed me to find a novel way to present my personal statement. After revision, I was able to flip my lens, utilize my introduction as my conclusion, and the rest of the paper began to fall into place. Very satisfied with the quality of her work, thank you so much, Deanna!

Steven, Pre-PA

Sarah is an amazing writer. She helped clarify my thoughts and encouraged me on this journey. When/ if I get an interview, it will be because of her amazing writing skills.

Araceli, Pre-PA

I submitted my application this morning so I am not able to answer if I received an interview yet but I am THRILLED that I found this service. Sarah has been such a blessing working on my personal statement with me. She took my ideas and mediocre paper and turned it into a beautifully written story about my life. She helped me write exactly what I wanted to say and guided me with how to say it. I would recommend, without reservation, this service to anyone who is applying to PA school. I am one hundred times more confident about applying knowing my personal statement is exactly where it needs to be. Instead of feeling stressed and overwhelmed when I submitted my application this morning, I had complete peace. Thank you, for being a shining light full of kindness to applicants like myself.

Savannah, Pre-PA

My editor knew exactly what kind of edits I was looking for and addressed all of my questions/concerns I had about my essay. I will definitely be recommending this service to my club members and friends.

Stephanie, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know that the majority of my interviews have gone really well! So far, I’ve received six interview invites and have interviewed for five schools. Midwestern (AZ) just got back to me a bit ago, and they sent me an acceptance email! I am beyond thrilled! I just wanted to thank you so much for your help! Your mock interview gave me a lot of confidence that I was able to carry into my interviews! I appreciated having the opportunity to practice my interview skills with you. I wanted to let you know just how much you’ve helped me with my application process (with my interviews, personal statement, and just my confidence in general)! Thank you so much for all of the advice over the past few months!

Sneh, PA-S

I absolutely loved working with Sarah! I could not be any happier with how my personal statement turned out. She was incredibly encouraging, sensitive to my needs, and insightful. There is not enough praise that I could give her for the amazing work she did for me.

Vanessa, Pre-PA

You helped me revise my personal statement for PA school admissions earlier this year, and I wanted to let you know how much you helped me. I got eight interviews and five admissions this cycle! I’ll be attending Pacific University this May. Multiple interviewers commented on how much they liked my personal statement. They described it as “eloquent” and “genuine.” I cannot thank you enough for your help earlier this year; I feel that it was a big part of my success this cycle.

Monica Harris, 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

I had an overall great experience working with Duke. He was open to my suggestions and provided great feedback on my essay. So far I haven’t gotten any interviews yet, but it is still early in the process. I will keep you updated when I get interviews. Steve

Steve Koehler, PA-S

About a year ago you helped edit my personal statement to get into PA school! I just wanted to let you know that I got interviews and was accepted to all the schools I applied to! I have decided to attend UAB in the fall! Thank you again for all your help!

Lauren Smith, PA-S

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

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

Catalina, 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

Really helpful! Makes me feel confident.

Qui T. Pre-PA

Sarah was fantastic to work with. She is excellent at her crafted skill and can help any thought or sentence come to life, fast!

Jessica D. 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 wanted to update you and say I’ve been accepted into two programs (waiting for two more responses) with Jefferson University (my program of choice) being one of them. Thank you for all your help and your tips and for making this a genuinely joyful 2022!

Yejin (Future PA)

I was so happy with the consultation and personal statement editing support I received from your team! I got into my first choice program at Duke, and I’m so excited to be starting in August.

Ellie, PA-S

Sue was very quick to edit my essay and give feedback. Any questions were answered very promptly. I am very pleased with the service provided.

Brandon, Pre-PA

I loved this service! Not only did my editor transform my essay, she helped me feel more confident in my application moving forward. She was extremely personable and efficient. I love my essay and now I’m even more excited about applying for school because of the help I received from The PA Life! Highly recommend!!

Aubrey, Pre-PA

I absolutely loved working with Sarah! She provided the best feedback to my personal statement, while also being sensitive to the details regarding personal family trauma. At the end of our sessions, I always felt confident in the statement and knew that Sarah would help me best articulate into words what I wanted to say. My statement now is something I can be completely confident in, and know that Sarah has been able to help me achieve a statement that prospective schools will pay attention to. Thank you, Sarah (and The PA Life) for everything!

Elizabeth, Pre-PA

Beth did great at editing my personal statement. I feel that she corrected a lot of my grammar and made my personal statement very well-spoken while not changing what I wanted to convey. She gave me additional thoughts to consider if I wanted to edit the essay again afterward, but I feel quite content! Thank you, PA Life!

Audrey, Pre-PA

Carly blew away all my expectations. She not only suggested edits to refine the content, but she also made grammatical and structural changes that fine-tuned my essay and allowed it to flow. I came into the editing process feeling hopeless about my personal statement, but with her edits, I feel confident that it will stand out. On top of all that, Carly was very timely in editing and returning my essay – I got it back within a few days! I’m very pleased with her service and recommend it to anyone out there who needs a fresh, professional set of eyes on their personal statement.

Stephanie, Pre-PA

This experience was great. They took my essay and gave great constructive comments that made it an even better essay. Very fast and efficient process.

Gabby, Pre-PA

Kelly M. provided an exceptional experience with detailed recommendations. I am upset that I did not find The PA Life editing service sooner! I will be referring anyone I know applying to pa school to this platform!

Manny, 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

I am so pleased with the review Carly provided me. Her responses were thoughtful and edits helped me in a lot of places where I felt totally stuck. So excited to be so close to a final draft with my personal statement. Thank you! TBD on the interview (fingers crossed)

Georgia Flynn, 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

Carly Hallman did an amazing job helping me with my personal statement! I was feeling conflicted and uncertain about my own personal statement, but she helped set my mind at ease! I now have peace of mind regarding my personal statement. She was so helpful in correcting any grammar errors and also informed me of what I could add to my essay. I knew I was missing something in my essay, but could not quite put my finger on it. Carly identified what was missing so I could make those changes to my essay. I’m so thankful for her help because I do not think I could have figured out that “missing piece” had it not been for her. I now feel confident about my essay and I am extremely happy with it! 🙂 Thank you so much!!!

Ramsha, Pre-PA

I received an early acceptance! I just wanted to thank you so much for all your help. You are a pro and I’m so thankful for you! You helped me more than you’ll ever know! I’m so excited! You saved me!!!!

Shelly K. Pre-PA

Oh my gosh thank you SOO much!!! I have been so busy with school so I haven’t been able to edit my personal statement, but I want to thank you soo much for making my statement look a heck of a lot better!!! I will be editing it over my spring break since that is the only free time I have, and I most likely will do a re-edit if I can (its $35 ish right?). Anyways thank you so much again!! Sorry for the late reply but I will get back to you again during my spring break if I need a second edit, thank you so much again for all your help!! I can already see how much of a difference you’ve made! Totally worth my money!

Melat Ashagre, Pre-PA

My editor with The PA Life was a grammar goddess! She provided amazing feedback and was quick with responding back to any emails, questions, and concerns!

Saniha, Pre-PA

Sue did an amazing job editing my personal statement. She included all the aspects that I wanted in the statement and made it flow so much better. Thank You! Thank You!

Kendra Perkey, Pre-PA

I really appreciated Carly’s attentiveness to my writing style and working to keep my message and content but working it in a way that reads easier. I appreciate her turnaround time, as well as priority deadlines for programs, are quickly approaching!

Jacob, Pre-PA

I just wanted to share some amazing news with you! I have been accepted into the MEDEX PA program in Seattle!!! I can’t thank you enough for all your help!! I am beyond excited and still can’t believe it is actually happening! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!!!! 😀

Pavitra, PA-S

Deanna gave me excellent feedback on my personal statement, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was very articulate and gave examples for me to work with on the rewrite. What I struggled with most was the organization of my writing, and Deanna helped me structure my paper so that it was easy to read. I would 100% recommend this service to a friend applying to PA school. Thank you so much!

Daniela, Pre-PA

I had an excellent experience with this service. Deanna was thorough, attentive to my essay, and very easy to contact. She did a great job and I would highly recommend this service to anyone.

Grant, Pre-PA

I just wanted to let you know I got accepted to Yale!!!! I’m so pumped. I can’t wait to talk more in-depth with you about my experience. For now I just wanted to say thank you!!!! You really were SO helpful.

James Hennessy, PA-S

Thank you so much for your assistance with perfecting my personal statement. This service is truly helpful. They were able to easily edit and help to convey exactly what was in my heart onto paper. I was accepted to my first choice PA program this week!!

Vincent, PA-S

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

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

I wanted to share exciting news with you – I got accepted to UT Health San Antonio’s Physician Assistant program!!! I am so thankful for ALL of your work and talent that was put into my personal statement and supplemental essays. I could not have gotten through this process without you. I extend a thank you from my mother, Tammy, as well. We were so blessed to be paired with you. Your hard work and dedication to helping me as a Pre-PA student-led to success during the application process. I hope 2021 is treating you well and you have a blessed year!

Aubrey, PA-S

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 applicant’s success at heart. Thank you!

Madison Pre-PA

I am so thankful that this editing service exists. The personal statement is incredibly important which is why I was so nervous about it. It took me two weeks to even get started because I was so nervous about writing the wrong thing. After Carly helped me with my essay, I am now so much more confident in it. Her edits were very thorough and showed that she had a really good understanding of what is important for a PA personal statement. Her email detailing her overall impression of my essay also showed she understood every single point I was trying to make and what kind of feeling I was trying to give to people reading my essay. This has been the most reassuring thing.

Angela, 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

Sue Edmonson has been a great help in ensuring my personal statement made sense and fit what information I was trying to convey. Her ability to find the pertinent parts in an essay and gain more information about me to make the essay seem relative to my pursuits was truly a Godsend. Would recommend her and your company to others. Thanks!

Christopher Ohsie, Pre-PA

Duke went above and beyond to help me. I so appreciate his help and would recommend this service to anyone!

Jessica H. Pre-PA

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

Thank you so much for editing my essay and for your kind words. Your edits have definitely made it a stronger PS and I am proud to have it as a part of my application. Thank you for alleviating my stress on arguably the most nerve-wracking part of the CASPA app. You are incredibly talented and well-spoken, and any person that has you edit their essays is incredibly lucky! I will let you know if I have any questions, but I think each one of your edits are meaningful and super clear. I appreciate you shortening it and making it flow better. Thank you again!!!

Karina Kapani, Pre-PA

Carly was so helpful and encouraging! I truly felt like I was in good hands, and I know my personal statement is much stronger now because of her!

Chloe, Pre-PA

I wanted to give you an update and thank you. I just received my first acceptance and at the interview, they commented on how well written my personal statement was. I appreciate your hard work and working with me to create such an awesome piece! Hopefully, this won’t be the last time we talk- maybe our paths will cross again one day!

Janne Kim, Pre-PA

I wanted to reach out and thank you for your help in editing my personal statement this application cycle. I have been accepted to the University of Utah and I was lucky enough to get a number of interviews! I know that your help with my statement definitely made a difference and I am so thankful! Thank you so much!

Nicole, 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

This was a very quick service and the attention to detail and response time was amazing. I thank you for having a service like this and am so happy I decided to go with the PA Life!!

Rachel, Pre-PA

Sue Edmondson was VERY thorough in her editing of my essay, as well as the promptness of her responses to me. She not only took the time to edit the grammar of my essay but helped me remove a large portion of it to focus on the important aspects of it and draw in more details. Overall, a fantastic service!

Megan Hunstad, Pre-PA

I wanted to reach out and thank you for your help with my personal statement. I received compliments about my essay at every interview I had. I also wanted to let you know that I will be attending Duke’s PA Program – my top choice. Your help was amazing! Thank you so much again!

Kelli Tseng, PA-S

This review is long overdue, but my gratitude for how much The PA Life has helped me will never fade. Ms. Schultz went above and beyond to help me tailor my personal statement to my unique stories and qualities. She was open to my suggestions and often thought from my perspective instead of imposing her thoughts on my essay. I appreciate the time she took to help me create a personal statement that expressed my thoughts clearly and concisely. I am happy to report that I have been invited to interviews, and I’m on the waitlist for one of my top schools. If I don’t get in this cycle, I will be using the editing services again. Big shout out to Ms. Schultz!! Thank you for all your encouragement, patience, and support! I am honored to have the chance to work with you. 🙂

Amy, Pre-PA

I used the personal statement editing service with Deanna Matzen (April/May 2021) and the mock interview service with Mary Jones (June 2021). Both were exceptional to work with and helped me to achieve my goal. I applied to three schools and received interview invites from all three (I’m a first-time applicant). I was waitlisted at one in June and later accepted in November, received early acceptance to my top choice in November (UTSW), and I chose to decline my third interview scheduled in December. Thank you for your services!

Rachelle, Pre-PA

Awesome editing service! Everything was detailed, and I could tell that my editor really cared about helping me produce a great personal statement.

Ashanna, 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

I have never used an editing service before, but after working with The PA Life, I am so glad I did. I feel my essay flows better and is polished and precise. I am now signed up for supplemental essay editing as well.

Nicole, Pre-PA

Very helpful. I needed help figuring out what to cut and Sue was great at showing me what could go without sacrificing what I was trying to convey.

Dave, Pre-PA

I just wanted to reach out an let you that I actually got into PA school this year! Out of the 10 programs I applied to, 4 offered me interviews. The first interview wound up being my top choice and they offered me a spot. I accept and declined all my other interviews. So I am absolutely overjoyed!! I wanted to let you know though. Your editing and help, no doubt, helped me get through the initial phase. Thank you so much! I am truly grateful.

Deanna, Pre-PA

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.
