Nudge Dr. Okafor about the committee letter, still unreceived at 4 schools
Why nowRequested 34 days ago and still not received. The other two writers are in.
Draft the Ridgemont “Why us” secondary (800 char)
Why nowReceived 6 days ago and not started yet. A draft today keeps the queue moving.
Somewhere between AMCAS, AACOMAS, and twenty different school portals, the process stopped being about your story and started being about not dropping the ball.
Different prompts, different character limits, different deadlines, all tracked in a spreadsheet that’s already three tabs out of date.
You asked three writers weeks ago. Two portals still say “not received.” You have no idea who to nudge, or when it’s actually urgent.
Forty open items and no sense of which one actually matters this afternoon, so everything feels equally urgent, which means nothing does.
Reddit threads, group chats, and forum posts that contradict each other and leave you more anxious than when you started.
How it works
Ten minutes of setup buys you a plan that re-ranks itself every day for the rest of your cycle.
MD, DO, or both. Your school list, your residence, how many hours a week you actually have.
MedPath ranks everything across every school into a short daily list, with a plain-English reason for each item.
Draft secondaries against real character limits, reuse your best stories, track letters and interviews, and get feedback that sharpens your voice instead of replacing it.
A weekly review resets your priorities. A real deadline calendar and cost log mean nothing surprises you.
The difference
Every item on your plan carries one line explaining why it sits where it does: the deadline it protects, the application it unblocks, the writer who has gone quiet. That sentence is the product. It’s the difference between a list you maintain and a plan you can trust.

What’s inside
Not a generic project tracker with medical school words pasted over it. Real prompts, real character limits, real deadlines, both application systems.
Draft and revise personal statements and secondaries with a live character count against each school’s real limit.
Your Story Bank holds the experiences and anecdotes you keep reaching for, so you’re never rewriting the same story from scratch for the fifth school.

Loma Vista · “Describe a challenge you have faced.”
The first time I was asked to translate a diagnosis for my grandmother, I was fourteen and the word was “metastatic.” I didn’t know it in either language…
What I learned that afternoon wasn’t about vocabulary. It was that the distance between being told something and understanding it is where…

The research project that failed
Ask it to check whether your draft actually answers the prompt, find where the reflection is missing, tighten your structure, or cut it to length.
It’s built to ask you better questions, never to write the essay for you. Your voice is the whole point, and it’s what schools are actually admitting.
AI Advisor
Reviewing: Loma Vista · “Describe a challenge you have faced.”
Does this actually answer the prompt? Be honest.
Partly. You describe the challenge clearly in the first half, but the prompt asks what you did about it, and paragraph three moves to what you learned without showing an action in between.
Two questions before you revise:
I won’t draft this for you. The answer to question 1 is the essay, and it has to be in your words.
Invite a pre-health advisor, mentor, or parent to read and comment on specific essays or your plan.
Scoped access, not a shared login. Eleven separate switches, off by default, with an end date. They see what you chose and nothing else.

For advisors and pre-health offices
Advisor mode turns a list of names into a workable roster: what’s open, who’s gone quiet, whose access is ending. It closes the cycle with an outcomes report you can hand a Dean without apologising for the denominator.
Every student grants scopes individually. Partial rows are the design, not a bug.
“3 tasks past due,” not a red-amber-green risk grade. MedPath won’t rank a person.
Paste or upload a CSV and invite a whole cohort at once.

Trust
Your application data and essays belong to you, full stop. We never use your content to train outside models, and nothing is shared with anyone unless you explicitly invite them in. Every account is private and access-controlled by design.
If you decide MedPath isn’t for you, you can export or delete your data whenever you want. Self-serve, no support ticket, no retention call.
Read our privacy policyNo. MedPath is an independent planning tool. We help you manage your applications; we’re not part of any admissions system or committee.
No, and that is on purpose. The AI advisor asks questions, flags unclear or unsupported sections, and helps you revise, but it never generates essay content for you. Your voice is what schools are evaluating, and we’re not going to be the reason that voice sounds like everyone else’s.
A spreadsheet tells you a date. MedPath tells you what to do about it today, and why, ranked against everything else on your plate rather than just sorted by due date. There is a full comparison against spreadsheets, MSAR, Choose DO Explorer, the forums and paid consultants on the Compare page.
Yes. Add schools from both AMCAS and AACOMAS to one list and MedPath prioritizes across all of them together.
Yes. Invite them with scoped access to comment on specific essays or your overall plan. They don’t get your login, and they see only what you switched on. You can change it or end it at any time, without explaining why.
It’s still yours. Nothing is deleted unless you delete it, and if you reapply, your Story Bank, letter history, and past drafts carry forward.
