“Getting help from Class Act was one of my best investments during the matching process. Initially I was hesitant to purchase any of their services as I was afraid that it would be a waste of money in a time where every penny matters, and I was absolutely wrong.
To begin with I liked how Tiffany reviewed my personal statement. She will start the reviewing process by asking you some questions about background details and she helps you understand how to include the information in a very attractive way. I also got help by asking Tiffany to review my CV and help me write a better description for my experiences as requested on ERAS. Tiffany also offers mock interviews which were very professional and helpful. She will give you feedback and recommendation in how to improve. I highly recommend this service.”

“Hello! I had taken the comprehensive package offered by Class Act, as I had a lot of things scheduled for myself as the submission date was to approach. Honestly, this was one of the best decisions I made during my ‘USMLE phase’. Tiffany was by my side every single step of the way. She cleared the dumbest doubts I had, she helped me personalize every single document to the last T. I was a surgery applicant, so I knew that my application had to be super competitive, and Tiffany helped me get there. I was a little neurotic about every detail on my application, and it was amazing to have someone like Tiffany help me out, who is, A) super calm, no matter the circumstance, and B) equally invested in making it as beautiful as it can be.
Over a couple months, she has taken into consideration every single thing I have told her. She found a place for every single achievement of mine on the application. She gave me very strategic advice and all her ideas panned out beautifully. We were able to highlight my strong points quite beautifully, while still mentioning my weaknesses but not in a very painful light (lol). I was just very comfortable with what we were preparing together. She was on top of every single detail, and every deadline; all my documents were ready well in advance. I recommend Tiffany WHOLEHEARTEDLY.”
