You're a premed student who is working hard AF towards the goal of applying to med school. You constantly dream of the day that interview invites start rolling in and when you finally get that first medical school acceptance.
Whether You...
→ Are a premed student who knows you want to go to medical school but you're completely lost on how to write a compelling personal statement that shares your unique story and explains why medicine
→ Have heard that you need to "tell stories" and "show not tell" in your personal statement, but you have no idea what that means or how the heck to do that

✔ Utilize PDF worksheets throughout the course so you can *actually* implement what you learn in the lessons

"I never knew how unique my story was before talking to Maggie. I thought my story was going to be cliche. But after getting Maggie's feedback, I felt more confident on what I wanted to convey in my personal statement. I also realized how important the timeline of my journey is because only then others would be able to see my growth and personalities through my personal statement."

"The course is set up to answer all of your questions and it provides ample examples of different parts of the application. These examples really helped me get my personal statement started. I know that RTA has helped me put my best application forward and I am so grateful for all of Maggie’s help!”
Jess H. (2022 Applicant)
"Working with Maggie is amazing! She eases that concern of 'I am not enough to apply to medical school', which I think all premeds can attest to feeling."
"I think it is invaluable to receive constructive feedback from someone who excelled in the medical school admissions process. Also, Maggie will never try to change who you are or what your experiences are. So at the end of the day, when you press submit on June 1st you feel authentic and deserving of a seat at the table."

Frequently Asked Questions:
Does purchasing this course mean I will get edits on my personal statement?
No, this does not include personal statement editing of your own essay but if you choose the upgraded option for $97 you will get the recordings from TWO previous live sessions where other premeds submitted one paragraph of their personal statement and received feedback from Maggie - which can give you helpful guidance for your own essay!
How long will it take to go through the entire course?
Technically, you could spend the weekend going through all the lessons but I suggest taking your time so you can really implement the advice in each an every lesson. I would recommend spending two weeks watching, implementing, rewatching, then tweaking your essay to really get the full benefit of all the information and advice in this course!

Believe me though... not to toot my own horn or anything, but this course is GOOD and I truly wish I had this resource when I was applying to medical school myself.
Is this course for me if I am a pre-PA student?
This course is geared towards premed students so technically no, but we have had a pre-PA student decide to enroll as she wanted to implement the advice on telling stories and sharing her unique story.
HAVE WE MET?
My name is Maggie, I'm 28 years old, and I'm a second year medical student at the University of Colorado! I first applied to medical school during the 2017 application cycle and legit had no idea what I was doing.
I figured out what I needed to do to take the MCAT, but the whole application process was still just a big jumble of confusion.
I managed to apply (albeit late) to four schools, got 1 interview at Case Western, got waitlisted and never ended up getting pulled off the waitlist.
Fast-forward three years later and I got my butt into gear, took the MCAT again because my first one expired (!!), and reapplied.
The second time around I applied to 28 schools, got 15 interview invites, and TEN acceptances. I am truly humbled and grateful because it seemed like the one goal l would never reach (I had a low GPA AND an institutional action).
Anyway, now it is my mission to help you all have the same success!
