What Our Clients Are Saying

 

“After a terrible experience with my undergraduate pre-med advisor, I was worried that Lighthouse Advising would be the same. I could not have been more wrong! I am a Nontrad applicant, and my advisor was unbelievably helpful and understanding of my situation. In our 2 sessions we made a game plan and set me on a path forward. My Lighthouse Advisor was kind, understanding, and encouraging, and he helped me feel like I am not alone on this journey. I am so glad I chose Lighthouse Advising, and I will be back for help when I apply for residency!”

— Ali R., MD/DO School Applicant ★★★★★, 3/2021

“As a reapplicant I needed help shaping my application for my second cycle. I sent my old application to my advisor before the advising session and when we met, he had gone through the entire application and highlighted all of the weak areas. This was exactly what I needed and if you are a reapplicant I highly recommend using Lighthouse Advising before sending another application.”

— Michaela C., MD/DO School Applicant ★★★★★, 6/2021

“I worked with Lighthouse advising for an Individual Advising session and essay edit and was very pleased with the experience. My advisor was well prepared beforehand, and made sure not to end our session until I felt like all of my questions were answered. The essay edit was way faster than 7 days and the included brainstorming made it easy to write an essay I loved. Overall they gave great peace of mind through the application process, and costs much less than other companies. ”

— Sumit S., Residency Applicant ★★★★★, 9/2021
