About Medical School Admissions Consulting

For 25+ years, our team of medical school admissions advisors have helped thousands of students enter top MD, DO and PA programs.

At International Medical Aid (IMA), we understand how stressful it can be to decide you want to become a doctor or physician assistant. Whether you’re a first- or fifth-generation medical student, the application process is overwhelming. From completing primary and secondary applications to writing countless essays and preparing for nerve-wracking interviews.

But you don’t have to go through it alone. IMA is here.

IMA’s medical school admissions consulting is designed to guide you through every step of the process. Over 93% of our applicants are accepted into medical school on their first attempt after working with us. Our team has more than 25 years of experience mentoring students, with advisors from top institutions including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins.

While tools like Grammarly and Hemingway are great for grammar and spelling, they aren’t medical school experts. Your personal statement is your first chance to convince the admissions committee to accept you.

Since some schools send secondaries by invitation only, your personal statement may be your only opportunity to show who you are. Secondary essays offer another key opportunity to earn an interview. For this reason, you should have a team of medical school admissions advisors by your side, mentoring you through the process.

Our team review process sets International Medical Aid apart from other consulting services. It includes the following key features:

  • Distinct from other services like Shemmassian Academic Consulting and Inspira Advantage

  • Modeled after real medical school admissions committees

  • Includes a diverse panel of doctors, professors, and community members

  • All written materials are reviewed by our consultants at no additional cost.

  • Designed to support both MD and PA applicants as fully as possible

We offer four tiers of medical school consulting services, starting at $3,950, designed to give you the support you need—fast. Our services include:

  • 48-hour turnaround for personal statement edits and AMCAS revisions

  • 1 hour of interview preparation

  • 2 hours of general advising

  • Ongoing email communication

  • A dedicated advisor with team review

  • Assistance with your letter of intent or waitlist letter

Note: If you don’t need a full package, we also provide a-la-carte services to meet your specific needs at $450 per hour.

Beyond admissions consulting, International Medical Aid also offers global internships in countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Students shadow medical professionals delivering care to underserved populations—gaining hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of global health systems.
