Testimonials

“Kristen was immensely helpful throughout the entire medical school application process. She worked with me to craft a personal statement that really reflected what I hoped and needed to convey to medical school admissions committees. There were times when I had to write multiple essays each day, and it was such a relief having Kristen to proofread them. She always responded very quickly. I could not have crafted such well-written essays without her guidance. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone in need of assistance with their writing.”

“Kristen gave me feedback in a timely manner. Even when I procrastinated and gave a secondary to her last minute, she still managed to get back to me within a few hours. My coaches helped me stick with the plan, stay on track, and get things done earlier. It really helped with the application cycle and mental stress. Cambridge Coaching is professional, and I appreciate there was a selection of coaches that I could choose from based on my background and budget. They are optimistic and they respect my choices.”
