FAQ's
How do I book an appointment with a consultant?
Please review our list of packages to decide what consulting services best suit your needs. You may also choose to call or email us to discuss your situation or obtain a quote on a custom package. You can then book an appointment via PayPal (which accepts major credit cards) through our “Book an appointment” page. Once payment is confirmed, you will be connected with a consultant within 1–2 business days.
How can I pay for a package or appointment if I do not have a PayPal account or credit card?
We also accept Interac email money transfers which can be sent to info@mdconsultants.ca, or certified cheques mailed to our office.
What determines the cost of your services?
Having been in business for almost a decade, we know what it costs to retain talented consultants and sustainably deliver a high-quality service across the board. Despite compensating our consultants at superior rates compared to our competitors, our services remain more favourably priced due to lower overhead costs and a leaner operating model.
Who are your consultants, and what experience do they have?
All of our consultants are either current medical and dental students at professional healthcare programs across Canada and the US, or resident or attending physicians in a variety of specialties. Many have served on admissions committees, and all have successfully navigated the admissions process themselves.
Will I be able to get relevant advice from consultants on my unique situation?
Our consultants come from diverse academic, professional, and personal backgrounds. We match you with a consultant whose experience aligns with your profile to provide tailored advice for your situation.
What is your track record with helping students get into medical school?
We have been in business for a decade with a success rate of over 90% for students in our Admissions Guarantee packages. This rate applies to first-time applicants and is even higher with repeat applications. Success rates also depend heavily on student quality, so inflated claims should be approached skeptically.
Where will I be able to meet my consultant?
Meeting locations are arranged between each student and consultant. Many consultations are also conducted by phone, Skype, or video conferencing.
If I buy multiple hours in a package, does that time have to be used all at once?
No. The time purchased in a package can be split into multiple appointments. It can also be used for asynchronous services like essay or personal statement editing.
Would I be able to contact students who have used your services to get their opinions?
Due to privacy, we don’t share former students’ contact info. However, you can read testimonials on our website. These are real, identifiable students. Many of our consultants were also former clients themselves.
How can I be sure the personal information in my application will remain confidential?
We understand the importance of privacy and have strict confidentiality agreements with all consultants. Please read our full Privacy Policy for details.
