Pillar Prep (formerly Sean Studies)Reviews of seanstudies.com

Sean Studies was amazing at helping me with personal statements, especially because I didn’t know where to begin. There were 30 comments on my first draft! Which helped me narrow down my topic and theme. The comments were anywhere from “yes!! Emphasize this” to “this seems a little too sarcastic and may not go over well”. Since I’m a science major, writing isn’t my strong suit, so they also helped with how I phrased my ideas. They helped me dig deep into my experiences and my passions to find why my experiences made me want to be a physician. That was the most crucial step because it took weeks for me to finally connect it all, but once I did the words came so much easier.

I really enjoyed working with Sean. My initial MCAT score was abysmal and he helped me hone in on my weaknesses and improve by 9 points! I think the most important part of having a tutor was having somebody in your corner who has been through the process and has succeeded, so when you do poorly on a practice test he can talk some sense into you! It's so important to remain calm and focused throughout this process and Sean really helped. He also helped me with Physics which was one of my weaknesses. I was also able to improve my CARS score but if I had stuck to the routine Sean gave me it definitely would have been better (stubborn people probs). ALSO BIOBIOCHEM, Sean helped me so so much. I am someone who needs strategy and a method and Sean provided just that. Honestly just hire him I cannot emphasize enough how grateful and happy I signed up! I improved in every section. You have a friend for life, who is a great source of guidance and support. He even helped me prepare for my medical school interview. Also, this is not to say you will not be doing work, NO, Sean is just a guide and you have to work really hard to do well. But I think with the right guidance, it is so doable. Good luck everyone AND THANK YOU SEAN

Sean Studies has been extremely helpful and motivated me to study thoroughly and reach my true potential. I'll admit I was hesitant at first to sign up because people always told me that self-studying was the way to go, but after my first MCAT score, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try a tutor to help guide me. The best part about Sean Studies is that it doesn't necessarily feel like a generic "prep class" like the big companies. The tutor helped guide me through the study process so I could properly study on my own time, especially during the school year, and he walked me through all the AAMC questions I had trouble with so I could see the patters that they often employ in their questions. In addition, Sean Studies strategies for CARS were extremely helpful, as I struggled with this section before. I would definitely recommend Sean Studies to a friend.

Sean Studies has been super helpful and motivating as I attempt the MCAT for a second time. Sean's incredibly knowledgeable on all topics and strategies. Highly recommend!

My experience with Sean Studies has been really great since day 1. The way we arrange our study plan based on specific weaknesses and be able to tackle them it is what I like the most. It feels like you're growing from each session with Sean Studies. Honestly, everything I have done and achieved it is thanks to our sessions and the things Sean assign me. I have recommended this company to many of my friends because it is the best out there. Recognizing and acknowledging my mistakes every single session with Sean Studies has improved my scores since the beginning.To anyone out there who is looking for a personal and well structured plan in regards to your personal growth, Sean Studies is your right company.

After taking the MCAT 3 times, I was just about ready to give up. I had already tried Jack Westin CARS and Next Step tutoring but nothing seemed to be helping me with my score... Now that I am working with Sean Studies, my AAMC practice exam scores have increased 13 points in 5 weeks and I am not done yet. I have recommended Sean Studies to all of my friends taking the exam.
