Questions

Frequently asked questions.

When should I start working with an advisor?

Earlier is easier to work with, but not required. For traditional MD/DO applicants, starting 12–18 months before you submit gives the most room for school list research, essay drafts, and MCAT timing. For EAP (BS/MD and BS/DO) applicants, we typically start in the spring of junior year of high school. If your deadlines are closer than that, we can still help — we'll just move faster.

Do you guarantee admission?

No ethical advisor can guarantee admission to a specific school — the decision is always the committee's. What we can offer is a structured, evidence-based process, honest feedback, and for our EAP Elite (BS/MD & BS/DO) package, a full refund if a student who completes the entire process is not admitted to a combined program. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

What's actually included in Full Cycle Advising?

School list strategy, unlimited rounds on your personal statement and secondary essays, activities and CV review, full mock interview preparation, and direct messaging access with your advisor from intake through decision day. See the packages above for a full breakdown.

Do you work with reapplicants?

Yes — reapplicant strategy is one of our most requested services. We start with an honest diagnosis of what likely held the file back last cycle (numbers, narrative, experiences, or interview performance) and build a specific plan to address it before you resubmit.

How is BS/DO advising different from BS/MD advising?

The application mechanics are similar, but BS/DO committees also evaluate a candidate's understanding of osteopathic philosophy and whole-person, primary-care-oriented medicine. We build that into the essay strategy, shadowing guidance, and interview prep rather than reusing MD-track material.
