The goal of InspiringDocs.com is to provide talented students from around the world, regardless of their financial situations, with the insight necessary to prepare themselves for medical school and residency applications. We aim to inspire students to create unique and personal portraits of their experiences. Applying to top ranked medical school and residency programs is becoming more and more competitive. Consulting services are popping up all over the internet and applicants are struggling to find the most efficient way to prepare for the admission process. Talented applicants who cannot afford admissions consulting services are either not applying to top schools or applying without the insights that could strengthen their applications. What drives the admissions consulting industry is the uncertainty around the admissions process. Applying to medical school or residency is often thought of as a black box. The information void leaves student desperate for ways to differentiate themselves. InspiringDocs.com allows students to peek into the box and learn from real medical students and residents what it takes to become an MD. In this way, we hope that providing admission resources will reduce the asymmetry of information and inspire applicants to reach for their dreams. Looking at several essays or interview responses and understanding how successful applicants market their personal stories and present their career goals will inspire applicants and help them better market themselves in their applications. Real essay examples can make applicants understand how to approach the essay questions and will save them many hours of admission consulting services. InspiringDocs.com only publishes essays and interview responses of applicants admitted to medical school or residency. While the personal statement and the interview are not the only thing that is considered by the admissions committee, it forms the foundation of a student’s candidacy. Users are given access to the essays and interview responses for inspiration only. The essays and responses to interview questions are meant to exemplify the level of introspection that is required to write a winning essay and shine in the interview. InspiringDocs.com does not support plagiarism. Users are expressly prohibited from copying and/or using the essays or parts of the essays for their own applications.
