For CURRENT Applicants:
It's been one heck of a cycle and we're still not done. If you've put yourself forward this cycle, have heart that you're not alone in feeling the stress awaiting II and acceptance offers.
Earlier in the cycle, many applicants found themselves delayed in receiving secondaries. Sometimes, applicants waited over 3 weeks more than might usually expect. This delay has affected the timing of other aspects of the application cycle. Based on historic data and current accounting, interview invites will likely be scheduled through Spring 2026 for many institutions. The vast majority may schedule March interviews well in advance. As such if you do not hear back from an institution regarding an interview invitation by the end of January 2026, then you should consider a re-application.
If you have not heard back from schools by the end of January, then it helps to ask:
1) Is this cycle over? What are my realistic chances for an II or an A this cycle?
2) Was I a competitive applicant? Did I present with strong academic and written materials?
3) Did I do anything wrong? Did I follow all instructions? Did I make typos or other errors (way more common than you think).
4) Where would I start with a re-application? Do I need to boost my numbers? Do I just need better written materials? All of the above and more?
If you’d like to discuss these questions or get feedback on your primary application, then you are not alone and we are here to help.
For NEW Applicants:
This is the PERFECT time to start planning your narrative and essay materials. Most first-time applicants ask themselves going into the New Year:
1) When should I take my MCAT? What is a good score for me?
2) Where do I even begin with my primary application? What are considered "Good" work and activities?
3) When should I have my materials ready by? What is considered too late?
4) What schools should I apply to? Is there anything else I should do between now and May to enhance my candidacy?
Good applicants will ask these questions, but matriculants will take action to ensure that they get the answers they need. We are hosting FREE CONSULTATIONS to help applicants gain access to professional advisers who can confidentially answer their questions going into the New Year. You may ask our team any questions you have pertaining to your application material or timeline.
Our team has been experimenting with various edit-flow programs and recently UPGRADED our platform to bring you improved resources to navigate the application cycle. For those thinking about a new application, and those considering a re-application, our NEW Canvas integration will help you manage your application drafts so that you can maximize your edits and focus on what matters. We know that we are heading into nervous territory for many navigating the AMCAS cycle. We would like to offer time with our advising team for you to discuss your current or future application.
