Package Description:
This session is a blunt, data-driven evaluation of your application’s overall competitiveness for the upcoming cycle. It is designed to answer one critical question: Is applying now the right strategic move, or does it carry significant risk? Your academic metrics, experiences, timing, and narrative positioning are reviewed to identify strengths, vulnerabilities, and potential failure points. You’ll receive a clear assessment of MD vs DO risk, or if applying BS/MD is worthwhile (if applicable), whether a delay would meaningfully improve outcomes, and what admissions committees are most likely to flag. The goal is clarity, not reassurance, so you can make an informed, strategic decision. Format: 30-minute 1:1 strategy session Best for: Applicants deciding whether to apply this cycle, or students seeking a realistic assessment of their odds.
What you'll get from this package
Honest assessment of application strength, timing risk, and likelihood of success in the current cycle.
Clear guidance on MD-only, MD+DO, or defer strategies based on applicant profile.
Specific, prioritized steps to improve competitiveness or proceed strategically.
