Success Stories

Real results from students who trusted us with their medical school applications.

SOS Admissions helped me understand what admissions committees actually want to see. I was admitted to Johns Hopkins after working with them on my entire application.

After being rejected my first cycle, I was devastated. SOS helped me identify gaps in my application and present a much stronger narrative. I matched into my top choice residency program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our medical school admissions consulting services.

Ideally, you should start 12-18 months before you plan to submit your application. This gives you time to strengthen your activities, refine your narrative, and complete essays without rushing. However, we work with students at all stages - even those who need help right before submission.

Yes! We have extensive experience with both the MD (AMCAS) and DO (AACOMAS) application systems. Our consultants understand the differences between the two and can help you optimize your application for either or both paths.

Absolutely. We have specialists who focus specifically on reapplicants. We'll help you analyze what went wrong, identify areas for improvement, and present a stronger application the next cycle. Many reapplicants we've worked with have successfully gained admission.

We help you identify the best letter writers, coach you on how to approach them, and provide guidance on what information to share with your recommenders. We can also review letter drafts (when writers share them) to ensure they're strong and aligned with your overall application narrative.

Yes! MD-PhD applications require additional essays and a different narrative focus. Our consultants have experience helping students present compelling research narratives while also demonstrating clinical commitment. We can help with the additional research statements required for these programs.
