That's the best part of our new hour-based bundles! It's completely customized to YOU.

Most students sign up for 10-20 hours. The best thing is, because we don't have complicated packages, and every thing is based on hours, you can add more hours (at a discount) as you go!

Our recommendation is to set up a one-time 20-min consultation call (see above) with one of our team members and find out what may work best for you.

We encourage you to enroll  early as we can only take on a limited number of students. Our application cycle spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and your payment secures your spot.

Most students start working with us 3-6 months before the application cycle opens. That means December-March or so before the application cycle starts. Based on availability, we will be glad to start working with you as soon as you're ready!

The best part about our hours-based bundles is that they can shaped in any way you want. Take these two 20-hour bundle students:

• Future Doctor J.D. Dorian
  • 3 hours of general premed guidance (including things like building his school list) because he's a first-generation student without any understanding of the process
  • 5 hours of personal statement and activity feedback and editing because he had other help
  • 3 hours of email support because he needs a lot of reassurance about everything he's doing
  • 4 hours of secondaries because he had some outside help
  • 4 hours of mock interview prep because he was nervous about his ability to answer the questions
  • 1 hour of discussing different acceptances and financial aid offers
• Future Doctor Elliot Reid
  • 2 hours of general premed guidance (including things like building his school list) because she's a little more familiar with the process
  • 7 hours of personal statement and activity feedback and editing because she didn't have any other help
  • 1 hours of email support because she didn't have many questions and wanted to focus on other parts of her application
  • 6 hours of secondaries because she didn't have any other help
  • 3 hours of mock interview prep because she was a little more confident in her abilities
  • 1 hour of discussing different acceptances and financial aid offers

You can see that both students covered the same parts of the application, but in different ratios based on each of their strengths and weaknesses. This is why we've switched to hours-based bundles.

These are just example scenarios. You can use your time however you specifically need.

Probably Not. 

If you're taking your MCAT in March or April of the year you are applying and don't start working on your application with us until April or May, you're going to be very far behind in the process.

Writing a great primary application takes a couple of months of going back and forth with our advisors and taking time away to reflect. There are also LORs to collect, school lists to build, and so much more!

Check out our FAQ about delaying an application as well.

Yes. There are many reasons to defer/delay (pause) working with our advisors. The most common reason is that a student doesn't get the score they wanted on the MCAT. In that case, the hours not used from the package will roll over for the next application cycle, and the student can pick up working with their advisor from there.

The work that was already accomplished doesn't go to waste! All of the hard work building a school list, reflecting on their premed journey, and writing essays is still useful for the next application cycle.

Application Cycle Coaching is one-on-one advising with one of our premier medical school application experts, whereas Application Academy is group advising. If you purchase 1-on-1, the hours that you purchase will be spent with that one advisor. A purchase of 10 hours or more will automatically include Application Academy at no extra cost to you, as a supplement to your 1-on-1 advising.

Click the hours bundle that works best for you above. After you've paid your first installment or in full, you'll get a link to schedule a match call with our team. After a match has been made with one of our expert advisors, you'll be sent a direct link to their calendar to schedule.

Our advisors offer a mix of daytime and evening hours. Other times are available upon request and mutual availability.

While there are no guarantees in the medical school admissions process, we guarantee that if you don't get in, we'll sit down with you for a one-on-one call with your advisor (or any advisor of your choice if available), as well as free entry into Application Academy for the next cycle.
