My review of Mappd

[JAK2-STAT3]

So in a gullible moment I got a free trial of Mappd and it has been...disappointing. I figured I'd write my experience here to hopefully save somebody some money. To their credit, at least you don't have to enter a credit card for the free trial. This was my experience:

During the onboarding process, they asked me what school I attended, so I put in my undergrad info. After finishing the preliminary onboarding questions I tried to enter my course info. However, my undergrad did not come up in the dropdown menu of where I took the course, and I kept getting messages to add a school to my profile. After several frustrating minutes of trying to delete and re-add it, I saw the little "i" and realized that they did not have my school's (a small liberal arts college) course catalogue. Therefore I could not add any of my undergrad courses. What is the point of this platform if I'm unable to add my undergrad courses?? They did have my postbac institution's catalogue, so I could at least put those courses in.

Next, I tried to add my activities. I could see how this feature might be helpful if you start using it as you start a new activity, but for me it was just clunky. You put in the activity, put it under a category, and write a description, which is all well and good. But the hours are determined by your "journal entries," which I found weird. I think what they were intending was that if you volunteer at the hospital for 3 hours once per week, you make a journal entry each time that indicates 3 hours. This is how your hours are calculated. For me this was just clunky and counterintuitive. I have been working full time in for 3 years, so I made a journal entry with the dates spanning 3 years and just put in my total hours; it makes zero sense to put in a journal entry for each work day.

There is also a section where you put in your MCAT score, but I haven't taken the MCAT yet so no comment on that section. However, the feedback section had a nice reminder about when MCAT registration dates for 2022 open, which was a nice touch. This section will also give automated messages based on your activities. For example, I got a message that my shadowing hours were low. Never would have figured that out lol. They also have links to various other resources, mostly the ones that MedSchoolHQ puts out.

Finally, I went to the dashboard, which shows your GPA trends, how close you are to completing prereqs, and your activity hours. The two former metrics were a flop for me because my entire undergrad couldn't be inputted. The activity hours tracker is nice, but I can keep that same info in my brain and in volunteer logbooks for free.

Overall, Mappd might be nice for freshman who are starting from scratch and are willing to pay to keep everything in one place. But for a non-trad with activities already completed, it is pointless in my opinion. And if your school isn't in their system, forget it. You can do everything that Mappd does in Word/Excel/Google Drive. If any Mappd creators lurk here and want to tell me if I am using Mappd incorrectly, I'm all ears.

Someone should only pay for a service if there is value added.

If Excel and/or Google Sheets can replace Mappd while offering more flexibility with organizing your courses and extracurriculars, then it doesn't make much sense to pay any amount of money for this website, let alone $80 per year... It's also a smart idea to keep all of your extracurricular reflections in a place that will not disappear once you stop paying the monthly fees. From their website, it seems that Mappd is also used as a gateway to sell additional (more expensive) services.

Unfortunately, there are people/companies who prey on the desperation, fears, and ignorance of premedical students. Just my thoughts.

I think you are missing the point. The point is not to create an awesome tool for you to use for free. We are all spoiled by all of the valuable content available on platforms like SDN, but you just need to keep in mind that the for profit world does not work that way.

Whatever you were sampling is really not meant to be an $80/year answer to all of your premed needs, regardless of whether you are a first semester freshman or a non-trad. It's really no more than a tool for them to gather as much information as you are willing to give them so they can upsell you the advising that is their bread and butter. And this is true whether you are on a free trial or whether you think it's worth $80/yr. They are not getting rich off the $80, given what their overhead must be to develop and maintain that tool as well as run that company.

Worthless? Maybe, if you are not in the market for paid help. I'm sure Dr. Gray would say it was worth every penny you paid for it. 😎

Correct me if I'm mistaken but I thought I read elsewhere that your shadowing hours were at ~50? Med schools these days want 50 as the bare minimum. 50 is just checking the box. 100+ will get your foot in the door.

A couple other points...Mappd can be a good way to practice inputting activites/ECs/work exp. into AMCAS/AACOMAS. There used to be a guest login for AMCAS where you could see the sections (I think the password was simply "guest") but who knows, I may be giving out too much free/helpful info to be a pre-med OR I may represent Mappd! 😆

If you are going to use Google Sheets or Excel or something, YOU have to be diligent about logging all your hours/activities as they come up. I think this is why Mappd keeps track of your hours for you by prompting you weekly to input any new activities/update existing activities. It can be hard to remember this, but I guess you could just write it in a planner or something. The advantage of Mappd is that it's not your own handwriting/a chore; it's technology acting like another person prompting you to log your hours--so it's more likely that you will do so.

I agree that $80 per year may be a bit pricey for the average college student. However, when courses cost thousands of dollars and this is your future at stake...I feel like websites like Mappd are really important. Mappd even has an app that you can use to keep track of stuff on the go.

I absolutely agree w/your bolded point. However, it may be worth it to buy Mappd anyway (even if you keep a backup) because they offer services like PS help, mock interviews, etc. Also, once your app is submitted through AMCAS, you typically can't edit it, if I remember correctly...so this could be a good way to go through your app and prepare for interviews.

Yaknow, it's funny, I am shadowing a doctor tonight named Dr. Gray and I'm sure that he would agree with you! 😉

*DISCLAIMER: I do not make any money by promoting Mappd; this is just based on information I gathered by doing my own research.

I actually only have 17 hours of in-person shadowing, but am about to start working full-time as a medical assistant, and I am hoping that will open more shadowing doors between now and June. My current volunteer activities have an online clock in/clock out system, so I can easily check my hours. Maybe some people are willing to pay for that service, but I am not one of them.

It would be great if such advising was built into the basic package, but if I'm not mistaken those services cost hundreds of dollars. This is what Moko and Knightdoc were getting at about Mappd just being a way to upsell more expensive services. That said, I generally appreciate Dr. Gray's podcasts and other free resources (other than the Mappd advertisements).

Yea it is true that you have to pay more for these things. But as @KnightDoc said above, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like SDN is getting crappier by the year...a lot less high yield info...that being said, it's better than most pre-med advisors' advice. I feel like since Mappd is run by doctors, they have an inside perspective (having been through the process themselves) and that is to their advantage as well.

Personally if I were trying to help one of my kids get into medical school, I probably wouldn't have a problem paying for Mappd along w/a MCAT prep course and additional resources. It gets filed under the "additional/supplemental resources" dept, in my book. Kind of like Organic as a Second Language.

this is getting off topic but I think shadowing hours are by far the most dependent on what the rest of your app looks like - I had maaayyyyyybe 30 hours? just barely? and it was basically all in the ED. BUT I had hundreds of hours of other clinical experiences. I'm an old fart MS4 so maybe things really have changed that drastically in a few years and I'm just out of touch, but I think I made a pretty good med student despite my "low" shadowing hours. hundreds of hours of shadowing is frankly unnecessary imo if you've got other clinical exposure

Agreed. Just remember that you are competing w/competitive people!! lol aren't we all

Again, just keep in mind that all of it, the books, podcasts, etc., are ALL about building brand awareness and credibility for when you are feeling desperate and want to pay for the good stuff. They are all Mappd advertisements!! 😎

You might be right. I haven't been here long enough to notice, and I haven't noticed any decline in the 2+ years I have been here, but, in general, you get what you pay for. SDN is the greatest deal in the world, regardless of the ratio of high yield info to garbage, because it is the only place in the world you get free access to real live adcoms, practicing physicians, med students and fellow premeds, all in one place.

Yes, it definitely takes a while to develop a functional BS meter, but it's well worth the effort for the high yield info, as well as the sense of community. Moreover, it's the only place to get near real-time info on what's happening with schools throughout the cycle.

Just use an excel spreadsheet or better yet google sheets (less restrictive cloud in case you lose access to your MSFT office account)

Just wanna say that the idea that the point of this service is simply to reel in gullible premeds and take their money is just incorrect. Sure you could do this in excel on your own, but it'd require excellent knowledge of excel and tons of hours to input all the data regarding coursework. I know how to change my oil but I'm not gonna do it every time it's needed when there are people who I could pay to do it while I focus on things more germane to my life and career goals.

Medical School HQ has been offering a ton of free content for years. The application renovation and related services are absolutely expensive, but you honestly don't need those unless your application is a mess...and they make this abundantly clear. I applied last year as a non-trad student and their free podcasts helped me study for the MCAT, taught me about what was expected in applicants, better prepared me for interviews, and taught me more about all of the many specialties available. They've even started doing a free e-shadowing service because of the pandemic. Let's not paint these folks in the same light as folks who are all about the money, because their resources legit helped me get into med school without me having to spend a dime on them.

To the OP's point, Mappd definitely does sound much less useful for those who are non-trad and/or can't find their school listed (so it's nice that they allow you to try it out first, where you can figure this out like OP did). But if I were a freshman pre-med (who doesn't already know everything about the application process and isn't an excel wiz.....like most pre-meds), I'd happily shell out $6.67 a month for this service or at least try it out. Many students do not have access to good pre-med advisors (I certainly didn't). And when you combine this affordable service with all of the free resources they also give, it's a great choice for many pre-meds imo.

It's all good, and it's great that you found a way to leverage what they put out there. But don't kid yourself for a minute, none of their free content is created as a public service, unlike what everyone other than the vendors contribute on SDN. It's all done to support a business model that ultimately relies on people spending a ton of money for help that is available elsewhere for little or no money.

I think there's certainly some truth to their business model being supported by people spending (too much) money (I think that's all business models bc, well, capitalism), but I don't agree with the idea that all of the resources that they provide are available elsewhere for little or no money...and many of the services that are available elsewhere can be really difficult to find.

I'm not saying they're doing it solely as a public service, but I don't agree with the idea that they're more exploitative than helpful. If the vast majority of the resources they offer can be utilized free of charge (or at low cost, like the books and Mappd), I find it hard to believe that it's all done solely to support the business model. They could honestly be making way more money charging for their free services. Heck, wasn't the OG podcast created specifically to freely combat misinformation and predatory businesses?

And quite frankly, their prices for the expensive services are so ridiculous that there's no way anybody other than rich kids are paying for them. And I can't say I feel particularly bad about rich parents paying for services that will ultimately support a platform that helps less wealthy students for free lol. And last point, I'm pretty sure it all started as a podcast, and podcasts generate most of their revenue via sponsorships (which is of no cost to listeners).

Look, all I'm saying is I knew very little about what's needed to be competitive for med schools (and definitely didn't know how to achieve it), and I was able to figure it all out free of charge with very little effort spent searching for additional resources. And this is the case for tons of other students. They also offer several detailed books on the personal statement, activities section, interviewing, etc for really affordable prices.

Lmfao I def sound like I work for them but I promise I don't. I just really don't want people to write off all of the resources available for them without giving them a try. Even if students don't wanna do Mappd or purchase any of the books (I didn't), they should def still listen to the podcasts.

Good points, and I bought a $17 book myself, in addition to watching some of the YouTube videos. The book was highly rated on Amazon, and I was very underwhelmed, but YMMV.

The fact remains, however, that there is nothing they offer that cannot be sourced elsewhere, including right here. Doesn't change the fact that it's all meant to feed whoever is able and willing into the higher margin services they offer. As you said, capitalism. Just recognize it for what it is.

It's all meant to support the business model. The business is not a non-profit foundation that uses wealthy donor money to fund free resources for the masses. It is a for-profit run by a non-practicing physician who probably gave up a very lucrative career to do it and deserves to be paid.

This doesn't change the fact that it uses low value free teasers like the podcasts and books to build credibility and brand awareness to attract candidates to the big money services. Don't get me wrong -- some of the advice is solid while the rest is either very simplistic or off-base, but it's absolutely not a scam and can provide value to someone turned off by the neuroticism of SDN or whatever it is that goes on on reddit.

After figuring things out, it turns out there was nothing in the book that I couldn't get here or elsewhere online for free, so that was my tuition in the med school advising space. 🙂 If someone wants to spend $80 to get an application organized, there are certainly worse ways to spend $80. But trust me, Dr. Gray is not getting rich off that $80, and it's not his end game in running Mappd.

Applying (after you get the GPA and the MCAT score you need) is all about painting your ECs/experiences in a positive light. So again, I feel like a program that helps you categorize/reframe things is very valuable. We seem to be going around in circles. Believe me, I fully understand what the business model/"for profit" means. 👍 No confusion there. 😆 But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

SDN through our parent organization does offer a planning app for premeds that will remind you to enter your activity hours:

Premed Planner App – Health Professional Student Association

www.hpsa.org

It’s free (donor supported) and all your data lives on your phone.
