See what students are saying about their experience with Residency Advisor and how it helped them find their perfect match.

SmartPick made everything feel less overwhelming.

As soon as I entered my info, I got a clean list of programs that made sense for me. I finally felt like I had a direction instead of just scrolling through forums all day.

— Daniel M., DO student

I didn’t expect it to feel this personalized.

SmartPick didn’t just filter by Step scores — it actually factored in my work experience, research, and where I studied. It was like the tool actually knew what mattered for me.

— Priya S., International graduate

The recommendations were clear, focused, and realistic.

I’ve seen so many tools that just give you a giant list. This one felt curated — it gave me clarity on where I should be focusing instead of chasing everything.

— Jason T., US MD applicant

Finally something designed for DO applicants too.

Most tools ignore DO applicants, or just lump them in with general stats. SmartPick actually explained why certain programs might fit me. That context helped a lot.

— L.Y., DO student

Even just trying the free version gave me clarity.

I only used the basic version but was impressed with how accurate the top 10 suggestions were compared to what I’d already researched. It’s a huge time-saver.

— Aisha K., Family Medicine applicant

It’s like having an insider’s map.

As a non-US IMG, I always felt like I was applying in the dark. SmartPick showed me exactly where others like me succeeded — I didn’t even know some of these programs were realistic options.

— A.J., International applicant

SmartPick cut my research time a lot!

Instead of comparing spreadsheets and random Reddit posts, I got a personalized list that actually made sense for my profile. It’s the most targeted I’ve ever felt.

— R.S., US MD graduate

Perfect for mixed-specialty applicants.

I was applying to both peds and psych. SmartPick didn’t lock me into one — it showed solid matches across both specialties with clarity I hadn’t found anywhere else.

— M.T., Dual applicant (Pediatrics and Psych)
