Maryam B.

I attended a state school and was not really involved in research in undergrad. I loved being able to choose my AppBuddy Helper, because I picked a student who had a similar background as me and was at my dream school. Doing a mock interview with my Helper was a big factor in feeling relaxed and prepared for my actual interviews. The advice I got from my Helper helped me gain acceptance to UPenn and many other competitive dental programs!

As a non-traditional student who worked as a dental technician, I always wanted to discuss with someone who had a similar path and experience as mine. I never thought this was possible until I found AppBuddy! I found someone who worked as a dental hygienist for 14 years and is now at dental school. She was extremely helpful and gave me useful advice I needed.

AppBuddy helped me tremendously. Having the choice of picking my own Helper is a game changer. Reading through their bios helped me formulate the best pick for me!
Sharzy S.
Student
I picked my Helper because she was an athlete, had research experience, and is at my top dream dental school. She shared great ideas with me on how to structure my personal statement, and was sweet and caught on rapidly with what I was trying to aim at. If it wasn’t for AppBuddy, I would have found someone through college counseling websites, but I probably wouldn’t have had much hope.

I'm so happy my friend told me about AppBuddy because I never knew a company like this existed! With AppBuddy, I paid half of what I would have paid and received 3x the number of services. The feedback from my Helpers has definitely strengthened my application. When it comes to application help, AppBuddy is now my go-to platform.
