Hello,
I am a non-trad student who has used Judy twice. I decided to use her for two situations. I found her extremely helpful. She pointed out things on my resume/ experience that neither of my pre-med advisors noticed. They kept saying, "just do what you want." She, however, told me what med schools wanted to see, instead of just "doing what I wanted." This, I truly feel, has turned my application around for the better, and now my pre-med advisors comment on what a strong applicant I've become because of her advice. She's good for asking really nitpicky details to, or details you don't want to ask adcoms directly, for fear of how they'd perceive you.
I think she's really good for non-trads who have an eclectic background and need help pulling a theme together for their application. She's also good when your pre-med advisors don't have much experience with people in your situation (such as mine with several totally unrelated work/school experiences.) She's also good at bluntly telling you what MCAT scores and GPAs you need to get into the schools you want.
The second time I used her was when I was trying to make a major pre-med related decision, and my pre-med advisors weren't helping me make it. She gave me facts that neither of my pre-med advisors knew, facts that helped me make the decision.
I know she's expensive and I'm a self-supporting student who paid her fees out of my own, hard-earned money, but she was worth it. I'll probably use her again one more time for a mock interview so I can polish my reason for leaving my previous career. My pre-med advisors don't seem to have much experience with this, and I need expert advice in this regard.
Feel free to PM me if you have further questions.
