  • Medical School Application Deadline Update July/September 2026

    Staying on top of medical school application deadlines is essential for a successful application process. Most medical schools operate on a rolling admissions basis, meaning they review applications and fill seats as they receive complete applications. Submitting your application early—ideally in June—greatly increases your chances of securing interview invitations, since more spots are available at the start of the cycle. Late submissions, on the other hand, may leave you competing for the limited remaining interview slots. Applying early also helps reduce stress, provides ample time to complete secondary applications, and helps you avoid the pitfalls of rushed and or low-quality submissions.

    Our clients are constantly advised of deadlines, and we develop medical school admissions strategies around each deadline via continual Zoom sessions with each client.

    July/September 2026

    Secondary applications arrive during this period. Schools typically send school-specific essays—often in batches—and prompt responses can signal strong interest. Aim to submit each one within two weeks, while continuing your clinical work.

    Interview season begins, with early applicants typically receiving invitations first. Prepare for both traditional and MMI formats, respond to invitations promptly, send thank-you notes afterward, and keep an organized record of the people you meet. Acceptances may begin on October 15.

    At Medical School Admissions Advisors with Dr. Paul Lowe, we provide advice to help our clients bolster their pre-med profiles (in their sophomore, junior, senior and/or gap year so they can be accepted to medical schools.

    Medical School Application Personal Statement

    April/May 2026

    • If you have not yet taken the MCAT, or if you need to retake it, this is the time to prepare and sit for the exam. Aim to take the MCAT in the spring, and no later than the end of June. This ensures that your scores are available to medical schools early in the cycle.
    • Continue working on your primary application materials. This includes refining your personal statement and crafting descriptions for your extracurricular      activities.
    • The AMCAS application will become available online on May 5. While you can begin filling out your application at this time, you cannot submit it until May 28.
    • For those applying to Texas medical schools, the TMDSAS application opens on May 1 and can be submitted starting May 15.
    • The AACOMAS application for osteopathic medical schools opens for submission in early May. Some D.O. schools include their supplemental application questions within the AACOMAS “Program Materials” tab, while others will send supplemental questions after the initial application is submitted.
    • Arrange for official transcripts to be sent directly from every college or university you have attended to the application service(s) you are using.
    • Plan to take the Casper and/or PREview situational judgment tests in April or May if your schedule allows. If not, be sure to complete these exams by the end of June so that your results reach schools early in the cycle.

    June 2026

    • If you still need to take or retake the MCAT, do so this month.
    • Complete the Casper and/or PREview tests if you have not already done so.
    • June 26: AMCAS begins transmitting verified applications to medical schools.  Shortly after this date, you will start receiving supplemental (secondary) applications. Be sure to return these to the schools within one to two weeks of receipt to stay on track in the application process.

  • Pre-Med Advising in College

    Premed Advising in College

    Many colleges have pre-med/health profession advisors for their students to ensure that students fulfill their pre-med requirements to become a candidate when applying for medical school.   They may even advise a student to consider a gap year.

    However, based on our discussions with college students who have used their college pre-med/health profession advisors the details of clinical opportunities, doctor shadowing. medical school admissions profile, medical school branding, and their relationship to the actual medical school application and secondary applications and resumes are rarely discussed.  When I review their resumes, they are lacking depth or the appropriate clinical, research or volunteer experiences necessary to be a competitive medical school candidate.

    So, what should a college student who wishes to be competitive medical school applicant do to stand out and increase their chances of acceptance to medical schools? HIRE AN EXPERT with experience and a track record of medical acceptances!

  • How to Write a Meaningful Medical School Application Personal Statement

    Medical School Application Personal Statement

    Medical school essays are important because they go beyond academic metrics like GPA and MCAT scores. They provide medical school admissions committees with a deeper understanding of your personality, motivations, and suitability of becoming a medical doctor. They should be written to allow you, a medical school applicant, to showcase your unique experiences, skills, and qualities, helping you stand out from other highly qualified candidates.  

    The personal statement must be indeed personal! It must reveal something meaningful that connects to readers and be convincing narrative about why medical school is important to the applicant’s life as well as a commitment to medicine. 

    A well-written essay can significantly impact your chances of acceptance, especially at competitive schools.  Most importantly, one has to recognize that the personal statement is a crucial element of the medical school application and must complement the other components of the application effectively.

    As medical school admissions advisor, Dr. Lowe collaborates with clients to brainstorm essay ideas based on the profile and admissions brand developed for each client. After clients write their drafts, Dr. Lowe and his team assist in revising their drafts based on student resumes, admissions Zoom meetings, mock interviews and other application components.

    Dr. Lowe knows that his clients’ personal statements successfully communicate their personalities, unique interests and attributes, experiences and true desires to be medical doctors, because they are ACCEPTED TO MEDICAL SCHOOLS!

  • Your Personal Brand Matters in Medical School Admissions

    Your Personal Brand in Medical School Admissions

    Getting into medical school involves more than just building a strong academic record, earning a competitive MCAT score, gaining relevant clinical experience, and crafting a compelling application – That’s just par for the course! 

    It now involves YOUR PERSONAL BRAND – how you present a coherent authentic representation of yourself, highlight your unique qualities, experiences and values to an admissions committee.

    Admissions committees only have a small amount of time to spend learning about each applicant. YOUR PERSONAL BRAND matters!

    Through Medical School Admissions Advisors, Dr Lowe helps his clients successfully communicate their personalities, unique interests, strengths, character, experiences and skills to medical school admissions committees by identifying, crafting and refining their medical school admissions personal profiles.

  • Gap Year Before Medical School

    Gap Year Before Medical School

    In my 29 years’ experience as an admissions advisor, I have encountered many students who take a Gap year due to various circumstances before applying to medical school depending on their particular circumstances.  The most prevalent reasons I have seen are (1) Fulfilling prerequisites and strengthening their GPA by completing additional coursework or (2) Needing more to study and take the MCATs (perhaps because of a low score).  For some students, they want it to augment their medical school admissions profile by volunteering, shadowing or research.

    Whatever the case, as a Gap year applicant, you will be competing for coveted medical school spots with college juniors who are applying, students who have been rejected and post-bacc applicants.

    As a medical school admissions advisor with 29 years of experience, my acceptance rate for Gap year students has been 95%, and this year (2025), all (100%) of my Gap year medical school applicants were accepted.

    gap year medical school acceptance

    You may ask, how do I achieve this Gap year client acceptance rate?

    1. I enhance my clients’ medical school admissions profiles.
    2. I understand the risks and mistakes that can be avoided.
    3. Through my medical school networks and contacts, I know what schools are seeking in Gap year applicants.
    4. I ensure that my clients’ AMCAS applications are complete, compelling and convincing.
    5. My team and I assist my clients in cultivating acceptance type personal statement and secondary essays.
    6. I practice one-one interview preparation sessions with each client to enhance their interview and communication skills.
    7. I utilize my networks and contacts to help my clients.
    8. Most importantly, I work directing with each client – Direct Expert Access (Clients work directly with Dr. Paul Lowe)
