Frequently Asked Questions

Service Details

  • Generally speaking, our application review services consist of 2 components:

    1) Asynchronous Revisions and

    2) Live Consultation & Feedback

    For our asynchronous revisions, you e-mail us your application to us using an MS Word document, we then edit the application “asynchronously” using the tracked changes/commenting feature in MS Word and then we send it back to you to incorporate our feedback.

    Asynchronous revisions are great, but we also highly recommend purchasing Live Feedback & Consultation with your application review as this service will then allow you to review our feedback, clarify any points of confusion and brainstorm future directions with your MD Consultant.

    Students who purchase both asynchronous revisions AND Live Feedback and Consultation are more likely to report feeling confident int heir application upon submission.

  • Every year, we keep a running list of all MD application deadlines across Canada. Rest assured that we are aware of your school's applicable deadline and will ensure your files are returned to you with enough time to make any necessary changes before submitting.

    Post-consultant-assignment, we quote a maximum file return time of 5 - 7 business days. However, during peak seasons (e.g., September), we work around the clock to return your files to you as early as possible.

    If you have multiple revisions, we will pay special attention to your file, ensuring that we do everything in our power to fulfill your order in time.

  • Definitely not!

    Technically, you can purchase your application review in June and submit your file to us in the last week of September (not recommended!). That being said, we do encourage students to submit their applications as early as possible (ideally no later than August 31) as this will allow us ample time to work on your file and it also gives you ample time to incorporate our feedback.

Recommendations

  • Absolutely, I'm glad you asked!

    All of our essay revision services include complimentary word-trimming up to an excess of 20-25% above the total word/character count.* If your essays exceed this limit, there will be a small additional fee for the extra work our consultants have to do.

    We encourage you to submit your document as close to the word count as possible so we can focus on your best ideas and you can avoid any unnecessary costs.

    *Total word count includes all essay responses, not including essay prompts. Word count is evaluated on a per application basis, not a per question basis.


    **Additional fees automatically apply to extra entries for the OMSAS Autobiographical Sketch (ABS) Review, UBC Non-academic Qualities (NAQ) Review, Memorial Non-Academic Attributes (NAA) Review, Alberta “Personal Activities” Review, Alberta Bundle and all other entry-based/ autobiographical sketch review services, at the sole discretion of Canadian Premed.

  • For each package, we include our recommended number of revisions as well as live feedback & consultation time in the product description. These recommendations are based on the years of previous students we’ve worked with.

    Many students end up purchasing an additional revisions and/or live feedback & consultation time after receiving their first round of revisions. When you bundle your order up front, not only do you save time, but hey, we’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s also cheaper!

  • While we do our absolute best to expand on our thought process and the rationale for our revisions by writing comments directly in your file, nothing beats bouncing ideas off of your consultant live over Zoom.

    Many students come up with new ideas after reading their revisions and/or have questions about the revisions they receive. Meeting with your consultant allows you to bounce these ideas off an informed, neutral party and also ask any questions you may have.

  • If you are stuck between the two options, our general recommendation is to get live feedback & consultation time.

Pricing & Promotions

  • Great question! When you bundle your revisions upfront, this helps save us administrative costs. Those cost savings are passed on directly to you. The discount is calculated by subtracting the price of the bundled revisions from the total price you would pay for the same number of revisions purchased separately.

    For example:

    Toronto Essay Review (3 revisions, no live feedback)

    - Price if 3 revisions are purchased separately: $597.00

    - Price if 3 revisions are bundled: $447.00

    *Savings: $597.00 - $447.00 = $150.00

  • Because we are a Canadian company, we ONLY charge in Canadian dollars!
