Yeah I've used Futurememd and they were awesome. I used Brittany and she is honestly the reason I got in.
I used BeMO before them and they honestly overcharged for nothing...
Kudos on using PrepMatch! I think it's the best resource out there for CASPer prep

My friend from YorkU used futurememd and got in- I know they used them to go over their BIF and CASPer prep but maybe more than that

All of OPs posts are "asking" about how great FutureMeMD is. And what a coincidence, within an hour, two new accounts reply to say how great their experience was.
It's fine to advertise for your company, but at least be honest about it!

Hey! 2025 Orca here! I loved futurememd! I used Sarah, and she was great for going over CASPer, and a bonus was she did incredibly well on the CASPer during her year applying whilst in the middle of lockdown. I’d highly recommend their services! I used both Prepmatch and futurememd and found both of them paired up quite well when being able to practise the advice I was given. Best of luck to you through your application!! And have faith in your skills, experience and who you are as an individual  |

I mostly going to practice by myself but I did hear good things about companies like FutureMeMD and Med coach which are more adorable then BeMO or Astrofff

For those of you that don't want to spend money on prep courses (since being a broke student sucks), I can attest that if you prepare well you can do absolutely fine. You don't need to spend money. I had a few people read over my personal statements/BIF. Then I took advantage of the free casper prep test (prepmatch). While the scenarios were not always relevant and the peer feedback wasn't always great, it got me into the mindset of how to answer the questions and what it was like to do it under the 5min time limit.
I did end up purchasing the book that bemo sells, and I found it helpful for structuring answers. But I wouldn't recommend hiring someone if you don't need it.

OVC 2025 here, I did the same thing as this first! I bought the $5 e-book BeMo sells, used PrepMatch to practice my typing and timing, and I watched YouTube videos about CASPer. I had people edit and read my personal statements and BIF. But in the end I was just myself. The prep companies are not necessary for you to get in. If you think they would be helpful to you, great. But you can get in without them! |

OVC vet student here. Prepmatch was definitely great cause it really gets you to think on the spot! I practiced using it for around 2-3 weeks a couple of hours each week. It paid off.
I used FutureMeMD as well for CASPer and bif review. The consultant I used was Isabelle. I recommend her if you end up going with a prep company

Definitely use Prepmatch! A few of my friend who got into McMaster med used it and loved it for their CASPer prep

If you have the money, and they are not too expensive, then why not use companies like that. I have friends who did. Others used their buddies to edit

They actually just rebranded with a new model. They are called "AcceptedTogether" now - but the same vet student consultants are still there - you are just able to reach out to them directly now

Literally google accepted together then filter the consultants by vet med. If you can't figure out how to do that....

Thanks for the link - did a BIF review with two of the people there and they actually pointed out some red flags...

hot take but if you need to pay someone to hold your hand and tell you every thing you need to say in order to get in, you probably shouldn't be here
too many people are being accepted with insincere applications, resulting in astonishing emotional immaturity and general ineptitude in some individuals currently enrolled

I disagree with the above. I used a consultant back in the day and they helped me gain confidence for casper and the interviews. I had the animal experience, the grades, and (I hope) the moral character required to gain entry. But the confidence was not there. They helped me gain it and get accepted. I don't think a lack of confidence mean I shouldn't have been admitted...

I also disagree. I know numerous students who I am fully confident will make wonderful vets that sought extra help for their admissions, such as training. Interviews are awful and stressful, and receiving support/guidance does not make someone inept. Emotional immaturity is indeed frustrating to encounter, but I don't think it's fair to blame consultants on its cause. The students who fake their way in will suffer in school or out in the workplace if they are truly as terrible as you make them sound. Future students reading--if you think you need a consultant/tutor/trainer to get in know that it's okay and it doesn't make you less than/unworthy. You are supported and validated, and not alone.
