What Our Applicants Are Saying

"I was applying to one of the more competitive residency specialties and worried about my chances. After using the whole application review, I have gotten more than enough interview invites for Match day and I can't thank this organization enough for their help!"

"Applying to medical school is a daunting task. ExceptionalGrad helped me express my experiences in a way that was both genuine and made my application stand out to the admissions committee. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through the process currently!"

"There are much fewer Vet programs out there and applications are still very competitive. My advisor helped me an incredible amount with prioritizing my experiences and structuring my essays, and I got multiple acceptances as a result!"

"Having tried one of the big name ERAS services prior to Exceptional Grad, I can say from experience Exceptional Grad is truly an exceptional and unparalleled service that exceeds the big name companies in overall value and customer service. My advice to prospective residency applicants is to take advantage of this high value opportunity ASAP."

"The Comprehensive Application Review service far exceeded my expectations. Their work rivals other companies charging three times as much for the same service. Their level of commitment is very impressive and their customer service is superior. I recommend them to others! Thank you ExceptionalGrad!"

"I was aiming for some of the top pharmacy schools in the country, and was getting writers block with some of my application components. My advisor helped me overcome these with some amazing ideas after our brainstorming conversations, and I can truly say my application shined after review from their editors"

Elite Packages

Instead of addressing and polishing only one facet of the entire application, it can be helpful to have a thorough review to ensure that the personal essay, common application, and even the interview are all fully prepared to shine when it counts most. Based on request from many of our superb applicants, we offer elite packages that provide these components together at a reduced price compared to purchasing each service alone.

“Besides strong academics and research experience, our admissions committee values leadership experience and dedicated involvement.”
